First Zone Conference

I got dad´s letters I don´t have a mailbox and thanks for all the birthday stuff. I didn´t know the government was shut down! Sister Miller doesn´t believe you. OOOOO I hope Dallin has the same track as me too that would be cool! He should probably open his mission call when he gets it maybe it will be crazy and he leaves before Christmas! (His dad said he would pay Dallin $5 a day if he waited until Christmas to open it with Allison getting to hear where he is going) I did make bubble bread and it was YUMMY! (A General Conference tradition)

This is her bubble bread.  She did a good job.

 

Tuesday was Zone Conference woot! My first one it was in Heidelberg which is kind of far away. If we took the Bahn we would have had to wake up early but our amazing Senior couple drove us so we didn´t have to wake early and we even got to have personal study! So we get to Zone Conference and I sit down and make eye contact with Sister Stoker!(Her previous companion) Instant joy! I was sooo  happy to see her again! Overall the Zone Conference was really good. It answered a lot of questions I had and now I am rebooted and ready to start doing stuff. After zone conference I went on a split again with Sister Nufer and we just went home and planned and went to sleep.

Wednesday Sister Nufer and I went jogging and it was awesome because Sister Nufer told me that she really isn´t in shape so she didn´t want to run much so we went a really short route and by the end she was breathing hard and I could still breath through my nose! Sweet, I am getting in shape! So after that we had our full study and then headed out to Bickenbach which I thought our ticket covered but apparently it didn´t because the ticket guy came and checked us and told us that it wasn´t good but was SUPER nice and didn´t fine us but he said next time he would. So then at the next stop we jumped off the train to buy the ticket we needed and then found out the next train didn´t come for an hour. This stop was in the middle of nowhere! We walked around and found no one and nothing it was crazy! Then our hour ran out and we jumped on the train for......one...more...stop haha we should have walked! So we get to Bickenbach and we heart attack the Whittaker's door and then we head to the bakeri that we found the one lady a while ago and we get to the bakeri and we see no one. But Sister Nufer is like well I am hungry so we go in and guess who comes to the front! Senel ( the bakeri lady) she instantly recognizes me and I ask her if she still has interest to learn about the church and she says yes so I ask her what a good day would be to meet and she says right now! So we end up teaching her and her husband the first lesson and we set up another appointment with them and they say they will read in the Book of Mormon sweet right! So after that we head home and on the way we see these cookies stuck in the vending machine and Sister Nufer is determined to get them unstuck so she buys things to try to get them out but is unsuccessful but in the process she buy ice tea....so we end up giving it to this lady and find out very quickly she doesn´t speak much German. So we ask her if she would like to go the German class we have every week and she said YES but she has to ask for work off so we will see how that goes. After that we went to the German class and then sport it was fun.

Thursday I woke up and felt sick yay only a runny nose though so not too bad but we also had to wake up early to end the split. So we get on the train and guess who checks our tickets...yup the same guy from yesterday. Good thing our ticket was good this time! So we switch back and then we head out to Kleestadt to heart attack Hannah´s door with Tabea. On the way this guy comes up and talks to us. He is a member that just moved to Offenbach from Africa. He was super cool. He showed us pictures from his mission. So then we get to Kleestadt and we do the heart attacking then we go back to the Wiese's house for lunch and we cut up lots of apples and make apple sauce while they tell the stories of how they met. It was super cute then Tabea told us a story about a boy too. It was fun after that Brüder Wiese wanted to show us his town Kleestadt. So first we stopped by on this less active then we went on a little tour. It was fun. The Wieses are one of my favorite families! After that we went to Nadine´s with the Elders for dinner and that was fun. After dinner Taylor, their little boy, was eating a waffle and Elder Parkinson asked him if he likes waffles and Taylor said" DOCH" which means duh. It was so funny.

Friday woot our first time going to the TIERHEIM (The Shelter)! It was awesome so first we cleaned this birds cage and that was ok then we cleaned these bunnies cage houseish place and these bunnies were huge like as big as Milkshake (That's our Maltese dog)  or bigger and they acted like dogs it was weird! Then we cleaned the place for the cats and then we cleaned the place where there was like 15 birds above us I was afraid they were going to poop on me the whole time but they didn´t so that was good haha. It was really fun we will do that each week now :) After that we went home and showered and then went with the Clements to the store because we thought this less active would be there  but she wasn´t but we did see sister Kling there ( we were going over to her house later for dinner with the Elders) She was so afraid she had no idea what the elders liked for dessert so she asked us "do you think they would like ice cream" and we were like yes everyone loves ice cream it  was super cute! After that we went to have a lesson with Marli Sister Czila came with , that lesson was awesome!!!!! She is soo cool. So last time Sister Miler promised that if she would read the Book of Mormon when she was scared or couldn´t sleep it would help her and guess what she did it and it worked! Her son even noticed a difference in her, cool huh! So then we taught her the first lesson and it went so well. We asked her about baptism and she said she needs more time. So then we went to Sister Kling's for dinner and it was awesome she really is the sweetest lady ever and she wants to missionary work so bad. That night with her and the Elders was something really special you could feel the Spirit really strong it was a calm happiness.
