(I asked her why her name tag said Sister and not German sister). Ok it is Sister because we are given a special title like the elders in the US...I think it is cool Ü It sounds like you are doing tons of fun stuff! It is sooooooo hot here I can´t wait for the COLD!!!!!! I am really happy Kayla was able to come and see you with Carter it sounded like you were kept pretty intertained. I have gained weight here too and I want it gone! It is hard when you only have 30 mins :( That is cool all the missionary stuff :)

This week was full of changes, the begining didn´t start out so bad we got the car again and were able to visit this less active lady who was really nice, it is a shame she lives in Hanau! She even made us banana bread :) Then after that we went to the Brandes for dinner and root beer floats and man it was yummy! like always! I really love the Brandes and I am sad they are leaving soon :( But that was really all we did Tuesday because it took a long time to get to Hanau.

Wednesday we were helping with all the goldens coming in and it was really fun to see all the new missionaries! They all seem really cool. We also went to the Spittlers and they were really nice as usual. Then we went to Shama and Andrews and that lesson went really well. I feel like they are coming close to giving in to believing! then we had dinner with the Smiths and that was cool because they use to be the MTC presidents :)

Thursday, the big day where Sister Tuschling goes home and I get my new companion! So I met Sister Stoker and she is really nice and cute we had lunch with all the sisters that were there and we went home and talked about all, most, of the people in this area and she got over stressed because all of the people and how big the area is...Then we went to see our wonderful Frau Seipel and she was sooo cute and welcoming as normal and it is crazy how much of her German I can understand :) After that we went to the leavers testimony meeting because Shama and Andrew came so we were allowed to go which was really nice. So I got to see Sister Tuschling one more time :) I MISS HER SOOO MUCH!

Friday my first full day with Sister Stoker I realized right away that even though she is supposed to be training me...I am training her. It is crazy how much she doesn´t know about planning and using bus books and other things. It is hard because it puts all the pressure on me. It is hard taking over and area with someone who is new too. Also it was hard for me because when I came I just listened to Sister Tuschling because I trusted her...Sister Stoker seems to doubt everything I say or change things like dropping people.....once she knows the people better I think it will be ok. But on Friday we went to go see Draga and she was moved to the hospital to a care home which we are now waiting for the address and then we went and taught the Garetts who I feel like we need to drop because they only want to hear about the Bible and they don´t keep any commitments. Then we went to Shama and Andrews because they wanted to meet Sister Stoker ( Sister Stoker wanted to drop them) and they were so lovely and we watched a movie with them" Finding faith in Christ" and it went really well they stopped the movie and paused it when they had questions and we were able to answer them :) Sister Stoker doesn´t want to drop them anymore haha

Saturday we were supposed to have a meeting with Grace but she wasn´t home which was a pity so we went on for bys and then ended up meeting with a less active named Pamela lemon which was really good because I wasn´t able to ever meet with her beforehand so it was nice to meet her. But other than that we didn´t get much done.

Sunday was good we sang in the choir at ward conference and David came to church. Shama and Andrew were supposed to come but they slept through their alarm and Justine was supposed to come but she was too tired. After church we had an eating appointment with the Eberts which was nice because it was at their garden home and we had hamburgers, good ole American dish. Then we went with the Brandes to the Hu´s ( Justine and Jay) and we had a really good lesson and are planning on coming to the ward BBQ this Saturday :)

Today was busy we really didn´t do much but we still did, we went to grocery shop and we printed out pictures and then we went to the Monkey bar with Shama and then we went shopping at Primark and now emails and then we will have a lesson with David :) I LOVE SHAMA!!!! but ya it was stressful being in charge! Anyways hopefully next week everything works out love you
