Sister Allison Wrathall

I know 6 months it is crazy! a third of my mission done! the transition to the new area has actually been really easy it is weird. Sister Miller was like no way when I told her Spencer is my cousin. haha You already found her on facebook! That was fast! And our building is still being built so not all the rooms are done so we have 4 neighbors or are you talking about in our apartment ...? if so it is just me and Sister Miller. And yes it is really nice! Rachel wrote me today and updated me so that was nice. Good shopping!!! ( I told her I found Dallin a pair of $6 slacks) I am so glad Dallin got that job! And I am so glad that the YSA are being good to him! That is a great group for him! I am also super excited about his mission Stuff!!!! Your week wasn´t that boring! Anyways on to the CRAZY week!

Tuesday, was crazy we had district meeting where I talked about teaching simply which went well but super scary then we went back to the girl that sold Darmstadt shirts and invited her to activities I hope she comes. Then we went and met with Vanessa and she is AWESOMe she is a single mother from Brazil! She was super sweet I am glad we get to work with her we need to get her coming back to church.

Wednesday we left the apartment early and we went to heart attack this family's door and we get there and we were soo sneaky they even had their windows open it was pretty scary but we finished and were just about to leave when Sister Miller sees the mom coming out and yells at me RUN! So we run into the car with the Clements and drive off it was pretty fun but later we found out that they had heard us the whole time and that they were making food for us! Then we felt bad but they really liked the hearts so that was good. Then we met with this lady Nadine but before we did that we actually got to our appointment a little early and we saw this lady pushing a stroller in the cold rain ( btw it has been cold and rainy this whole week but I don´t really mind) So we walked and talked with her a little it was really fun she was a very nice lady. Then we had our lesson with Nadine. She is a new convert, and we were going to read the book of Mormon with her and I was all pumped to read in German and then we ended up reading it in English to help her learn English! Oh well she is very nice and she has a cute little boy named Taylor. Then we met with this lady named Nataile and man is she AWESOME she learns from the Spirit so fast it is crazy. We taught her the first part of the plan of Salvation and it just all made sense to her and you could tell she really was thinking about it and understanding it. It was so cool I can´t wait to meet with her again. We asked her to think about getting baptized on October 12. We will see she isn´t to sure about that being enough time. Then we went to the Lugos again and that lesson was crazy! I could not concentrate! So much things going on German Spanish kids yelling it was crazy! But it ended up being alright in the end.

Thursday was a day of miracles! We ended up getting 4 peoples contact info and handing out 3 Books Of Mormons! It started off with us in the morning just walking and Sister Miller stopped this guy and Said " We are missionaries for the church of Jesus Christ of latter day saints and we talk to people about God do you believe in God?" he said I have no time right now but if you wait I will be back in 15 mins. We were kinda like ok we will wait but kinda like he probably won't come back but he DID! And we ended up talking to him for about an hour we taught him the Restoration and gave him a Book of Mormon he said he doesn´t have time for a month but after that he would like to meet with us. We got his email and hope to meet with him in the future. So we left him and we crossed the street and looked over and there he was, he had sat down and was reading the Book of Mormon! I wanted to take a picture but that would be creepy so I didn´t! But it was AWesome. Then I went and got Amelded and on the way back I saw this guy looking at us so we went up and talked to him. It turns out he is from Israel and he has heard about our church and wanted to learn more but was going to Israel for 2 weeks but we got his number and gave him a Book of Mormon as well. He also said that if we ever go to Israel we could stay in his house he said it is HUGE. Sweet hook up right! Then we went to the Mensa which is this place where students go to eat and we aren´t allowed to proselyte in there but if they ask questions we can answer so we sat next to this guy that just so happen to be from Kenya and knows one of Sister Millers Friends! Crazy right? He was pretty cool and said he might come to FHE so that would be awesome and then we met his friend who was cool too and respects us for what we are doing but say he has no time to meet with us but maybe in a month or so I count that as successful! Then we were on our way to do this good by and on this way we met this girl named Sam and she is awesome and really sweet she really liked us because we are American and we are religious she said she wants to be religious as well but doesn´t think she can do it. We of course said we could help and gave her our number and she gave us her email but is sadly going away to Dublin for a school trip. Then we saw this guy and talked to him for a while it turned out he was an exchange student in Washington and he was cool and we gave him a Book of Mormon too :) Then we saw the guy that we taught the restoration to on a bus last week and we found out he is working at this place where they build things for Space!!! COOL he is really nice I was lame and didn´t give him a Book of Mormon! Next time I see him I will. Miracles!!!

Friday, we spent most of the day doing weekly planning it was crazy! We were soo dead being in all day sucks! But then I went on a split. Sister Bate came to Darmstadt with me. That night we had an appointment but it fell through so we went to Herren Garten with the determination to hand out a Book of Mormon. As we were walking these 3 kinda drunk guys stopped us and we talked to them for a while. They were ´Muslim and were pretty open to hear what we had to say so we ended up giving them the Book of Mormon and some how we got to talking about marriage and they ask us if we would marry them and Sister Bate right away said no I want to marry a Mormon and then they said....uhhmmm what if I read this book be converted then will you marry me and Sister Bate said no you are too old!!! HAHA they were like 40 or older but still harsh Sister Bate harsh but funny haha

Saturday we had the longest coordination meeting EVER!!!! Soo boring poor Elder Swallos he is a golden he fell asleep haha wish I could have too! After the meeting we stopped by on this less active Sister Best and right when you stepped into the apartment you got surrounded by smoke! So that wasn´t a good sign then she starting talking and talking and talking I could tell she complaining but that was about it other than that I had really no idea what she was saying. So I look to Sister Bate to see if she knew and she was out in lala land so I was on my own haha. It worked out though she ended up thanking us a lot for coming to see her and she bore her Testimony about Christ and asked us to come over for dinner some time so it was all good...I hope haha. After that we had to switch back and that was a long train ride. I was happy to have Sister Miller back then that night we planned for our lesson we were teaching in young womens.

Sunday we went to church and taught our lesson it went really well I think. The young women really liked it. I felt the Spirit. Thank goodness Sister Miller's German is better than mine haha. Then after church we had a lesson with the Lugo this time was a lot better we made it interactive and we asked them to come to church next week to see me talk that is right they asked me to introduce myself and bear a short testimony!!! SCARY! But it will be ok they said they might come. Then we went to the Maichles for dinner. He is our Ward mission leader they were awesome their kids are so cute at then end of the night the littlest girl said to me I wish you could be my older sister awwww so cute! Well that was my week lots of stuff happened! Hope your week is good too.

Love YOU
