Hey hey hey fam!
It was a crazy fun, productive week with a TON of traveling. Here are some of the highlights!
1. I finally got to put my mediocre camping skills to the test! We went over to the Jähnerts house for a little party, and 4 of their granddaughters were trying to start a campfire A.K.A. they were dumping gasoline on rain-drenched logs and holding a match to it... Haha! I taught them how to build an actual fire and we had so much fun. They chased me around with swords and random burning things and I somehow ended up with a peg leg.
2. An American family came to visit family in our ward this week, and they had two little boys ages 4 and 6! We made friends really fast because we were both so excited to hear other people speaking English. I got to translate for them in PV (little kids class) on Sunday, and I ended up getting beat up with balloons and plastic dinosaurs... It totally made my day.
3. I had possibly the greatest, weirdest night on my mission yet... In the process of dropping off a birthday present for Sister Klaus (a lady that we barely knew at all!), we were invited to her 83rd bday party!! We were the only ones in the restaurant under the age of 80... It was pretty uncomfortable but we just laughed and tried to talk to everyone. We left afterward to catch the bus, and it was POURING rain. The bus wasn't going to come for another 30 minutes so I talked Sis. Alton into just running the couple miles home. We took off our shoes and start running and were drenched head to toe, through our coats in under 3 minutes! It was insane and I had the time of my life running barefoot across town. To top it all off, 15 minutes into this joy run, we get stopped by two guys on bikes that decide right then and there is the perfect time to hit on us. When we finally got home, we just couldn't stop laughing, and took selfies to remember the night. #Ilookedlikecaptainjacksparrow #shelookedlikemothermary #arehashtagsstillcoolinamerica
4. We had zone conference this week in BERLIN! Afterward we "just so happened" to pass the WWII memorial on the way to the train station! It was so cool, it takes up an entire city block, and it's like a huge maze!
5. Zone Conference, all of the missionaries in the Leipzig area got together for the day to teach and learn from each other and our mission president! It was super uplifting and motivating for me. President had one of the elders play the first song he ever learned. The elder carelessly played 'Mary Had a Little Lamb'. Then President asked him to play the hardest song he knew. The elder effortlessly played a mega-fast arrangement of Carol of the Bells. It was AMAZING! President used this activity to prove that we forever need to make progress. Once we learn basic things like God is truly our Heavenly Father and that Christ atoned for our sins, continue learning! Study how we can communicate with God and what He expects from us, and how exactly Christ performed the Atonement and what exactly that means for our eternal salvation! Cool stuff for sure.
