Man sounds like you had a fun week! You are going to be so skinny when i get home! I thought that was crazy the surprise with Kayla i bet you are super happy! That is also funny that Jordan got his call to Brazil like everyone else. Don´t worry where I am. It is safe haha. To answer your question I did the temple session in German except where I had to say stuff. It wasn´t that bad because I am familiar with the thing. German is coming I am getting better at grammar and vocabulary is coming really good and understanding too. I can tell Heavenly Father is Helping me out for sure. I always try to read signs and stuff to learn words and it is awesome most of the time I can look at the word and it feels like I know it and I ask Sister Tuschling if it is right and most of the time it is! So that is cool. Anyways onto the weekly report.

So this week we did really good we had almost every day filled with appointments at the beginning of the week. Tuesday we set off after our normal study time to this lady we found in our area book. We visited her the week before and set up an appointment.   We called her in the morning but she didn`t pick up so we just went to her house and ....she wasn`t there.. it was ok we just decided to go by on some people, none of them were there either. That was ok too we had another appointment set up where we were actually going to bring an investigator with us to see a member haha but then she also fell through. By this time we needed some pumping up so thank goodness we had an appointment to eat dinner with the Livingstones and it was just that, a pump up session, they were wonderful, good old couple missionaries...love them! So after that we had time to go by on one more person and we chose to go by on this lady named Jane ( all these people we went by on are names we found in the area book) So we got to Jane`s house and guess what.....SHE WAS THERE! She said she had stopped taking the lessons because she was too busy with work but now she has time! Also her brother just happens to be a member!!! We were so happy you couldn`t wipe the smile off of our faces! So that was Tuesday

Wednesday we had once again appointments set up. We had David, our really promising investigator that has a baptisimal date and then we also had this lady named Lyubica who is a lady we found from our area book that we visited the week before and set up this appointment. Then we had dinner with the Raeolina family. David and Lyubica both called us to tell us they were sick and couldn`t meet... well another day of go bys....once again no one was home or wanted to listen to us... :( we were so frustrated!!!! But then we had a really cool experience with the Raeolina family. So after our go bys we were far away so we were going to be like 30 mins late to the Raeolina´s and we were thinking great we found no one today and taught no one and now we are going to be late...then we got on the bus...and guess who is there! Brother Raeolina!!!! Turns out they were running late too he had just got off from work and she was getting her daughter home from swim practice. They were so worried we were going to be waiting at their house or worse leave and they didn`t have our phone number. So that was a great relief for both of us and when we got off the bus his wife and daughter are just pulling in! It worked out that we all got there at the same time! Cool huh? Then we had a really good dinner ( RIBS) and a good lesson and also guess what! Because they are a military family they have American products and they gave me chocolate chips!!!! SWEET! haha so after that we had time to do one more go by and turns out the family moved :( but we were still pumped because of the Raeolina family so it was ok.

Thursday once again 3 lessons planned one with David and the Eyres one with Frau Seiple and one with the Swensens. The day started off good we had our lesson with David and the Eyres were really good at teaching with us but we found out he is going to Italy for a little so we decided it would be best to change his baptism date to July 20th because he still needs to learn a lot. In his mind he thinks he needs to get married...he doesn´t have a girlfriend or anything....don´t worry we are working on changing his mind about that. Also during the lesson David was talking about the lesson before and when he talked about something we taught him he would say" my sisters told me" how cute he calls us his sisters :). Then our other two appointments were cancelled....sounding familiar. So then we did more go bys sooooooo many people were not home but we did end up finding two people that look promising Grace and Queensly and Grace even has a friend that might be interested too! So that day was once again hard but we found people so that was ok haha

Friday we had the Spittlers and the Garretts and Delphin and Alejandra. Spittlers were a go like always and they even got pizza for us but excpected us to eat a box each! CRAZIES! haha but we didn`t and they still loved us haha Sister spittler was doing good she actually had enough strength to get up and walk a little also Luis her other son was there and it was good to talk to him. I love getting to see them every week and now we have it that they get sacrament every week, which should have always been happening but oh well now it is! Then the Garretts called and I had the phone and they called in sick which was sad but the cool part was it was a German lady and I understood everything she said. So then once again we went by one people and once again no one was home...well this one lady was but she said in a rude way.." I am going to bed right now" haha. It was ok because then we got to met with Delpin and Alejandra and that was wonderful and after we went with Alejandra to a restaurant and got some pretty yummy things. BTW if you come to Germany don`t get the cheesecake it is not the same! So that day wasn`t too bad

Saturday we had zone meeting which was good President Schwartz taught most of it in his danglish haha cute guy gave us flowers because earlier in the week we ran to his house and gave them cookies haha. After that we went to see Frau Koch, she is so kind and loving and has known about the gospel her whole life but just now is getting baptized. She told us how her mom was killed. After the war she was taking a walk in the forest and stepped on a mine and exploded! Crazy right! Anyways, after that we went to the Chaves, the Bishop's family, and man are they awesome! We had no study time this morning so we just studied with them and planned our lesson for Justine. They were doing a joint teach with us. So after we got our lesson planned we went and the lesson was good. We talked about prayer and receiving answers and it was really good because Sister Tuschling and I barely talked. It was the members teaching which is the best. So that was Saturday

Sunday was weird because all of our investigators were out of town so they couldn`t come but church was amazing! Sister Tuschling got up and bore her testimony and so did Alejandra for her first time ever! And then Sunday school was great and then in Relief Society sister Raeolina taught and she was soooo scared but she did awesome. It was cute before the lesson she was looking and me and making faces showing how scared she was and I mouthed to her that she could do it and she did she was amazing! After church we had another person cancel on us but we just had a really amazing weekly planning session instead so there haha. After that we had a fireside at President's house and that was all in German but I understood most of it so that was good and it was fun. So that was Sunday it is probably my favorite Sunday so far.

So that was my week tons of people falling through but we ended up finding 3 potential people so that is ok, Love you all have a wonderful week
