Tuesday we did the normal Morgan Sport and study time and then we did go bys in Offenbach. We didn´t really see anyone. It might be to the fact that we started by going to see Draga but she wasn´t home and her grandson who spoke English told us that she was in the hospital....she wasn´t in the hospital she was in the clinic which is a whole different place...we finally found it after about an hour and a half and we get there and to go in the room we had to put on all this stuff like gloves and a face mask and stuff and we finally got in there and she was sleeping! haha so we didn´t want to wake her up so we just left her a note. But we found out that a lady moved and we left some notes for the other people that were not home. But Sister Hull is amazing she is also exhausting she is always full of energy and talks to everyone! Even if they are across the street she would yell guten Morgan haha crazy Sister Hull. After all the go bys we switched back and went to a place called NA HI for dinner with the Swensens and the Elders ( Ryser and Sheppard) it was really yummy I had Thai peanut sauce chicken and rice. The Swensens are so awesome haha and so funny. He is the doctor for the mission and during dinner he got tons of calls about missionaries that were sick or whatever it was crazy! But ya they are awesome.
Wednesday we woke up early and played soccer with our zone.....I have no idea how to play soccer, therefore it wasn´t very fun, I would be fine never playing again haha. Sister Fuller was there though so I just talked to her and was goalie. My team was good so the ball never really came close to me so basically I just talked with Sister Fuller. I LOVE her I really hope I will get to serve with her some day! So after soccer, talking with Sister Fuller, we went home and did our study time and then we went to Shama and Andrew and I am just waiting for Sister Tuschling to leave to start with them again because right now we haven´t really been making much progress and I think it is because they are sad she is leaving but after that I will get back to work with them because I really want them to become members they would love it sooo much! They already love Mormons they just need to believe! But they were really nice and awesome as usually it just wasn´t really a lesson more of a get together. After that we had dinner with the Olsons and man this family is awesome. We got there and Sister Olson was cooking dinner still and we got to help her! Sweet! loved it we made homemade tortillas, because they are really pricey to buy here. And we had fajitas again haha but we also had mango yummy and ice cream sundaes :) But ya this family is really cool they are really young like she is probably 26 or so and they have 2 young kids and are amazing members she is really awesome at missionary work and ahhh they are just so cool.
Thursday we did the normal morning stuff and then went to see Draga and this time went to the right place right away haha and actually got to talk to her....her German is really bad and hard to understand but her grandson was there and he translated for us some. I hope he will become a member, the Elders ( Varney and Smith) are teaching him but as soon as Draga dies he will be leaving so hold on Draga! After Draga we went one floor down and saw Frau Seipel, she is in the clinic because she fell out of bed but she was totaly fine. When she saw us it was so cute when we came in she sat up and was like Sisters! SO nice to see you Ü like she owned the place haha she is cool. The Clinic smelled like PEE though! My goal is to never get sick or hurt in Germany so I don´t have to go in one of those places! After that we went to go to dinner with Elder and Sister Stay and they...forgot about us haha We clingled them and they were like hello and we said the Sisters are here and they said the Sisters! We forgot ...we have left overs though...come on up haha. It ended up being good anyways haha and Sister Stay is awesome she knows Hebrew and basically everything about the old testament haha. She told us how the story of the good Samaritan can be seen as the plan of salvation! It was really cool. After dinner we went to the Offenbach church building to meet with Samuel with the new senior couple missionaries in that area the Göckewitz...don´t ask me to say that haha. So we were waiting and waiting and waiting and he finally got there and hour late and we had a super short lesson. Then at the end he said "where I come from ( the ivory coast) we don´t say good bye to anyone with out giving them a present. So all day I have been thinking of a present I could give you, Sister Tuschling, and I finally thought of something but it was at my house and that was why I was late because I had to run home and get it." Then he pulled out a napkin that had I love you written all over it and in it was a necklace that was made from elephant tusks and he gave it to Sister Tuschling! Keep in mind that this was the second time we have met with him! Crazy Africans they are soo cool. That was my first time meeting him and man he is sooo legit but so busy but I am going to get him to become a member!
Friday was good we did the normal morning stuff and then we went to see Frau Koch. This might be the last time It see here because she is going away to Switzerland to get baptized with her family and won´t come back till August. But she is sooo sweet and kind and lovely. She made us lunch and gave us like7 bars of chocolate Ü It would be nice to be able to be here when she comes back... I can hope but who really knows. After that we went to the church building to see the Garrets. Now we have a set time that we meet with them every week but for the weeks that I have been here I have only saw them once and that was my first week so I was really doubting they would be there, but they were and we had an good lesson with them about the 10 commandments. But I don´t know if they are really every going to progress. After that we went to the Cravens for dinner and like always with the cravens it was super yummy but somehow still super healthy. Also no call all Friday so guess what that means....I am not training! Woot! Big relief!
Saturday we got up and we went to district meeting which was at the McGills. They made us breakfast and also Sister Bass was there and she brought a yummy casserole. We talked about light and knowledge and then Sister Tuschling talked about what she learned on her mission and the whole time I was barely holding back the tears, I am going to miss her sooooooo much! Then directly after that we had transfer calls...the moment of truth! I am staying in the Frankfurt international and Offenbach area and Sister Stoker is coming to join me! I don´t know much about her but I do know she has only been out one more transfer than me so it will be 2 noobs taking on the world together haha. It will be fine Ü After that we picked up Alejandra and headed to our second breakfast with the Eyres, they made an American breakfast, this was Alejandra´s first. We had hashbrowns and bacon and french toast and she was a good sport she tried all of it and even tried putting syrup on her hashbrowns like me and she liked it! She also tried peanut butter and syrup on her french toast and she like that too! After that the Eyres taught a wonderful new member lesson for Alejandra. Then we headed home because we had to do some stuff there like calls and such and then we head to a bakery to have some cake with Sandra and I had this really good ganache banana cake yummy Ü and it was really nice to see her because she has been having some medical problems lately and wasn´t able to come to church last Sunday. After that we went a got the car from the Elders, that is right we got the CAR! We need it because we were going to the Muligins for dinner and they live in Hümark which is way up in the mountains and by car it took us like 40 ish mins could you imagine by public transportation probably and hour and a half or two! It was such a lovely time they are so wonderful and she made strawberry rhubarb crumble and man was it good! If I want to experiment again I am going to make that! They are both converts and they are a great examples. They really have raised their children in the gospel and are so kind Ü!!!! I love our members!
Sunday was kinda sad at the beginning all of our investigators that said they would come didn´t but church was still good I mean how can church be bad. Right after church we went to the Chaves ( Bishops) for lunch and I really like this family. They are sooo cool Bishop just went to Canada and bought a Book of Mormon that was made in 1849 in Liverpool and it was soo cool he let us hold it and look through it and it was written just like a normal book no verses it was cool, guess how much it cost though...about 600 euro! After that we went and picked up Sister Olson because she was going on a joint teach with her to Justine and when we got there the lesson went really well! Justine said this " when I first started learning it was merely for info and now I could see myself maybe, probably, possibly, believing it and getting baptized"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SWEET! I want to see her get baptized sooo bad!
But that was my week and man am I going to get fat if this keeps up we had a dinner appointment every day and some days more than one eating appointment. On Saturday we had 4 eating appointments haha. Another cool thing that happened this week is that I got a letter from my friend Marie that lives here in Germany and she asked if she would be able to visit so I ask President and he said " make it an unforgettable visit"! So that will be cool when she comes to visit. But other than that this week was really cool next week I get my new companion and I will tell you all about her Ü Have a good week everyone!
love,
Sister Wrathall
