A Snow Storm, Yummy African Food and a Baptism (Jan 22 - Group Email)

Hey all! Sorry I don't have a ton of time sooooo this will probably have 23% of the organization I usually like to have!


We had a CRAZY snow storm last week! We went for a run in the morning and it was perfectly fine, then BOOM, two hours later it was like the sky decided to give us everything it's got! I gotta tell you, I never realized that going on a mission in northern Germany signed me up for extreme snow biking, but it is FUN! Okay, if I would have fallen, I probably would have thought otherwise, but I could NOT stop laughing at how funny it was that we were biking around in skirts in basically a whiteout snow storm!! It was a good, successful (exhausting!) day, and I'm so happy we FINALLY got snow!!!
5 minutes into the snow storm (there was literally no point of blow drying my hair that morning!)


Marcia invited us over for lunch on Friday, and to our delight, she taught us how to make some good old African chapati (forgive me if I spelled that wrong?!). We experienced the full cutural effect with african aprons, singing, laughing and of course some MoTab featuring Alex Boye haha. Ohhh, I love their culture!
2.45 seconds before I burned my fingers and screamed way too loud.


We visited a baptism in Kiel with Joseph and the whole family on Saturday! It was really a beautiful program, and Joseph is SO excited for his baptism in 2 weeks! Man, I can hardly wait either! He is so ready, it's been amazing to see his progress, especially through his love for the scriptures! He was just all smiles on Saturday, and it was contagious!!
Joseph and Mikey at the baptism and they are just buds I love it!


Ohhh this is really random but I took a German test on Saturday with my mission presidents wife and passed! So, that means I'll officially start learning Arabic in 2 weeks! AHHH Crazy, huh?! I've kept this a secret for awhile because I wanted to make sure this is actually what I should do, but now it's happening! I have so much love for those people, and I'm excited to learn their language.
...and oh yeah we might have had the Delingsdorf sisters over after pday for exchanges and we may have made another music video uhh

I love the Lord, I love you all!
