Nope another half p-day...so writing today again. The blind museum was closed! lame! (These are answers to questions that I had for her)Oh a dritt is a trio so 3 missionaries and they are called the tech elders because they work in the office and deal with contracts and tickets and make things like the video on our blog. \

Monday we met with this man named Marty and he is this really old black man with dreads and he is really funny. We found him in the area book and called him and asked if we could meet with him and he said sure so that is what we did. It ended up that he believes everything and has a testimony of it but his wife said she would kick him out if he got baptized so that is kind of a bust :( but it was nice to meet him. I don´t think we will meet with him too often though because he seems like he will not progress. After Marty we met with Rita and we taught her the first lesson and it was awesome she really liked it and in her prayer she said thank you God for answering my prayer and sending me these 2 angels awww so cute! and she has 3 kids you would never guess what their names are. The oldest boy is Cross the girl is Bright Star and the younger boy is Divine haha she is so African it is awesome.

Tuesday we had zone training and it was a lot about member missionary work. So make sure you guys are doing your job. You are in charge of the social conversion and as missionaries we are in charge of the spiritual conversion you are the inviters and we are the teachers. After zone training I went on a split with Sister Robison which was cool because she was in the MTC with me :) The first thing we did was go to Bro. Raeolina´s house where he hooked us up with American food. He gave us nutter butters and Reese's pieces and peanut butter and chips ahhh man all this good stuff....it is sad that everything we miss from American is unhealthy food. Then after getting all that yummy food we met up with Li for lunch at the college eating place and it was pretty good we talked about priesthood with Li which was good because he is awesome and already knows everything but it was good for him to hear it anyways. After lunch he took us around the school and told us all the good places to find people and good times to come haha he is so cute! Li is awesome! After Li we met with David with the Madsens as a joint teach and it went really well we talked about how we recognize the Spirit so hopefully he can feel the spirit when he prays about being baptized...he is suppose to get baptized this coming Saturday but we will see it would truly be a miracle if that happened.

Wednesday we went and got Sister Stoker applied for her visa and I got mine :) in my picture I look like I am going to kill someone but that is ok haha. After we had our German study with Elder Sheppard and that was good. I am so glad he does these classes for us they really help! Then after that Elder Ryser made lunch for the whole office us and Alejandra and it was super yummy...then he shared some of his Swiss chocolate....BEST CHOCOLATE in the WORLD!!! Man that stuff was soooo good I could have eaten 100! After that we met with Bro. Lucus our ward mission leader because he had been gone for 2 weeks and we needed his help finding rides for our investigators and just to update him. Then we taught Alison Tascon and that went well she will be baptized August 10th :) I hope I am here to see her get baptized. After our lesson with them Sister Stoker had an impression to talk to some people but ignored it and told me about it. I stopped asked where these people were and she pointed in a direction and we went and looked for them. We didn´t find them but we did some doors ( my first time) and these really nice old people answered and said it was too late but to come back so we will try to do that sometime this week. Also on the ride home we met the US Military soccer team well at least some of them, it turned out they had a 24 hour layover in Germany and decided to explore so that was cool to meet them :)

 

Thursday not much happened we went and had our weekly lesson with Frau Seipel and that went well and then we went to the Spittlers and while we were there Luis Spittler played the guitar and he was really good he played hotel California and lots of Bolivian and agitinion music (sorry that is spelled sooooo wrong ) but that was about it on Thursday.

Friday we met with Rita again and watched the Restoration with her and she really liked it. Then we asked if she were to come to the know the things we are teaching her are true if she would be baptized and she said I got to tell you something I have been to many churches and have had lessons with the elders before and I already know that this is true so yes I will be baptized! Sweet! So she is going to be baptized August 17 that means we would have two baptisms in 2 weeks nice :) and her son Cross who is 10 might get baptized too! That would be awesome! After that we went home and did study and then went to the Maslo´s for dinner. We see them every week on the same bus we take to go to church so we figured they didn´t live to far for us so we left 30 mins thinking that would be plenty of time....WRONGO it took us and hour and a half to get there! But they were really nice about it so it was ok ha ha. They are really nice people and have the cutest little boy ever!

 

Saturday we found out the blind museum was closed so we had another half p-day so we went with the Elders to teach Lamar and it went really well! HE is so prepared we will ask him a question like what do you think heavenly father´s work and glory is and he goes into well like as I see it as a father I want my children to learn and grow and one day become like me so I guess that is what our Father in heaven would want for us too for us to one day become like him...those are just my thoughts... LAMAR you are awesome!!! He is not a question of if but of when when it comes to becoming a member. Then we went to a huge Flea Market by the Main and it was just basically a garage sell ...people selling junk but there was a couple cool things like those African carvings and stuff but nothing good enough to buy. After that we went home and studied and then went to the church because sister Stoker and Elder Sheppard want to sing a song together on his last Sunday which is next Sunday so they need to practice. I played basketball, well really just shooting with Elder Ryser and Elder Waterböhr it was fun.

Sunday Sister Stoker found out they couldn´t do their song because someone else was doing a musical number that Sunday so she was quite sad. But then SHAMA came to CHURCH so that brightened our day in fact it was the only good thing that really happened Sunday. She loved church and said she will come every week! WOOT!!!!!!

But ya that was my week :) Hope everyone is doing good love you all
