Tuesday we went and got sister Stoker Ammeled, which is just something you have to do when you get to a new place. We went with our district so that was fun. Then after that we went to lunch with our district and I had my first schnitzel since I have been on my mission it was ok the fries were gross!!!! I missed 5 guys! But it was really fun getting to know my district better there are elders Sheppard, Ryser, Waterböhr, Ruff , and Chicky and the Sisters ME Ü, Stoker, Imbach, and Hasara. It was really fun Ü After that we went to go to a referral and it turned out that he moved. Sister Stoker and I got into a fight and I was mad and she was mad but we still had our lesson with Nita and Sister McGill so we just sucked it up and dealt with it. Our lesson with Nita went good she said she will start coming to church in July. It was really nice to have Sister McGill. After we dropped off  Sister McGill I said sorry to sister stoker and she said sorry to me and we made up. We were both being stupid.

Wednesday we had ice cream with Li and it was really fun and I had Spaghetti ice and it was really yummy. Li is such and awesome guy and I am glad he is staying on the right path, he is a recent convert. It was also really fun to get to know him better. That day it was 102 here!!!!!! DEATH!!!!! And I didn´t think it but Germany is really humid. Then we did my first ever really tracting we walked by the river and talked to people. It was super scary but Sister Stoker was really supportive and I really appreciated it. I ended up giving a guy a Book of Mormon and we gave other people pass along cards it wasn´t as scary after the first one because I knew Sister Stoker had my back. After that we went to the Spittlers and that was really good as usual. She was really happy to see us and it was fun to see her Ü That night we had a split so we raced back to the church to change companions. Sister Hasara was coming with me and Sister Stoker went with Sister Imbach. We went to the Gublers house for dinner and they were super nice but man they made us eat sooo much and it was spaghetti again...what is up with people making us eat lots of spaghetti? But she did make this really good bread Ü

Thursday Sister Hasara and I went to see Elvis, he is this guy we met last week and invited us over for lunch with his family, cool right. He had been talking to missionaries for a long time on his way to work but no one had ever asked to meet with him...weird right? But it was really cool they made us lunch and we ate it and it was prawns which I didn´t really like but everything else was good they are from Sri Lanka . They said they would love to have us over again and they said they would read the Book of Mormon so that was awesome Ü After that I tried to get some more tracting on the river because I liked that so much but Sister Hasara wasn´t taking it which was kinda sad because I was really excited to do some more. At one point I was talking to this lady and I took a pause to think of something to say next and Sister Hasara just said Shöne Tag nach which means like well have a nice day....:( but that is ok. After that we met with Frau Seipel. I LOVE that lady she is so sweet and I really feel like I can understand almost everything of what she says which is really cool Ü. Then because the Tech elders are in a drit now they picked us up and we went to the Fernandez house for dinner. It was awesome riding up with them they are all really funny haha. The Fernandez family was so nice I really like them a lot Ü 

Friday we had a mission tour where Elder Richards came and talked to us and his wife Sister Richards too and it was cool because sometimes they would come to our ward so I had already met them Ü But that mission tour really took up our whole day so that was it on Friday

Saturday the day of our ward BBQ it was really good our members brought lots of non members and Shama and Andrew came and some of the Elders investigators came too. It was funny because in the morning Sister Stoker and I were waiting for our Stassen bahn and we get a call and it is Shama and she said "hey guys do you mind if Andrew and I stop by on your BBQ" and we just said COME!! And did our own little happy dances haha it was soooo awesome to see them there the members were awesome and just encircled them! It was wonderful and we met one of the girls that a member brought and she looks promising Ü After that we went home and made cookies and a pie because presidents birthday is today but we wanted to give it to him on Sunday and also we have lots of other investigators whose birthday is today. After that we went to our lesson with David and it was amazing. It was with Bishop and his wife Paula and we all laid down the law we basically asked him  he believes in everything we believe and that our church is the one true church and he said he had a testimony of it all them Bishop challenged him to get baptized this weekend and David said as a good Christian I must pray about it. 

Sunday we missed our usual bus to church so when we got to church we only had 10 mins if that before it started but a wonder happened, David came at the beginning of sacrament meeting!!!! That was the first time he ever has come to the full sacrament meeting because he takes the sacrament really seriously and feels he is not worthy to have it. So it hurts him to see it so that is why he usually doesn´t come till after the sacrament so that was awesome. After sacrament he had to leave but before he left I asked if he had gotten an answer to his prayer and he said not yet that he needs to pray more. After church we had linner (that is the meal between lunch and dinner) at the Brandes, this is the last dinner I will have there because they are done with their mission on Saturday :( They are so awesome I am really glad I got to meet them they are like parents to all of us. After that we went home and got our cookies to go give to Elvis as a thank you and we got to his house and realized we didn´t know his last name....so we called but no answer so we tried looking on every floor of the building but I couldn´t really remember which door it was. So we went back home and got the pie to give to president. We live so close to him we just walked and we rang the door bell and they invited us in and we gave him the pie and a card we made and he said he loves us and then showed us pictures of his family and some of the things that are going to be happening in the mission which not even the aps know about ..we are the only ones that know cool right...sorry I can´t tell you either :P then we gave a spiritual thought and took pictures. President said in his 2 years here no one had ever done that, dropped by and gave a spiritual thought, he said he will never forget it and said he would write about it in his diary haha he is so cute! :) Then they drove us home Ü

so now I love Sister Stoker and this week really was wonderful and I am looking forward to this next week hope you all have a wonderful week as well love you all
