Lots of meetings this week.

OOO i miss 5 guys! The burgers here are just not the same! THANKS FOR THE PICTURE!!! ... haha i will get one in almost 9 months so no worries haha Zaxby´s sounds good too but i am lucky and can go to the Christmas market and buy a bratwurst :)  I can´t believe it raining 9 days in a row! That is a lot! sister Miller and i decided this week that we would never rake leaves because they just fall on the ground again right after you rake them!!!!  Also random question i know but it has been bugging me for a couple of months now but what is the name of the river we lived by in orting? Ok now on to the week!!!!

Tuesday we had ZONE CONFERENCE!!!! That was fun we had to wake up at 5:30 and head out to Düsseldorf because Sister Miller and Sister Bauer the Sister Training leaders in our ZONE (STL) had to meet with the STL´s in the other zone and plan a lesson for zone conference but i had my other compainion Sister Clendon with me haha so it was all ok. It was also cool to see people that i haven´t seen for a long time i love seeing everyone greet eachother it is like a family reunion! The actual Zone Conference was good i always love hearing from President and then the AP´s and the STL´s did a good job too :) After the meeting part we went to the Düsseldorf Weihnacht Markt and we sang Christmas songs and handed out wrapped Book of Mormons Sister Miller and i ended up handing out 3 and to some really cool people. Then after that it was pretty late but we went on a "split" but we were all still together because the AP´s drove us to the Essen appartment together and we didn´t have enought time to travel to Münster so we just spent the night in Essen woot Sleep over to bad we are always so tired haha.

Wednesday was the split Sister Erickson and i did studies in Essen and then traveled to Münster and by the time we were there we had about 3 hours and we still had to grab a couple of things from their appartment in Münster they only have buses??? KOMISCH ( weird) that will be weird for me to go to a smaller place also their Church building is just an office space in a building she told me they have like 10 active members! So any how once we did that running around we had 2 hours left so we went to this Dorf ( small town) and we tried to stop by on some less active members but they ended up living to far away and we had to catch a train so we were waiting for a bus to go back to the train station and we waited and waited and it NEVER CAME so we had to rush back and when we were almost there it was really quite and then i heard something and i turned to Sister Erickson and said" Did you hear that? It sounded like a train stopping!" So then we booked it and missed it by literally 2 mins but it wasn´t too bad the nest one came in 30 mins just a little bit of a bummer haha. Once we were back in Essen we switched back and i went to ward night with my awesome companion Sister Miller. This week we wrote Christmas cards and ate chocolate and drank tea and hot coco pretty relaxing night.

Thursday we had our lesson with Bonnie again and this week was pretty helpful, she is super nice to be doing this German help colass for us :) After that we had a little meeting with the District leaders in the zone and the Zone leaders we were there because the SLT´s it was a good meeting trying to figure out how to fix the problems in our zone. After we did a finding activitie at the Mensa no luck this time. After that we went to our lesson with Angelika and that went well we taught about eternal families and she liked that lesson her testimony is so strong it is cool to see how quick she has developed this strong testimony oh how Heavenly Father blesses you whe you do the right thing!

Friday we had a lesson with Sister Roch and it went pretty good we talked about repentance again and i feel like this time it really clicked in her head and that was cool to be able to notice when she was understanding us. After her we met with the YSA in our ward named Daisy and she is the sweetest thing EVER! We just needed to build her up some. Then we used our computer time to look a Mormon messages and bibile videos to show people.

Saturday we had a little meeting with the ZL and talked about how the Sisters are feeling in the zone it was a really constructive meeting. When we got home from that meeting we got a call from an unknown number and guess who it was KRISTIN the wonder girl she finally got a phone and she called to give us her number and to tell us she was coming to the christmas party that night! I LOVE HER! So then we finished our Study and head out to the Christmas party and that party was a miracle night we had Elizabeth there Kristin there and this hopefully new investigator and one of the Elders hopefully new investigators. The party it´s self was interesting....it started off good with singing songs and the christmas story and then Santa came or ( the Weihnacht Man) and he gave a present to every kid and they were 25 kids and they were like books and dolls and candy and nice things! I was like..that is strange and then when they did all the kids and then they were like i think there are 4 more kids and we were all like what? and then they said the missionaries! and we were likeWHAT! Santa made us go up and sing a song to everyone and then gave us a present haha it is a i love Essen hat and a note book and some chocolate ( which had Alcohol in it haha good thing i read things before i eat them) It was really nice of them to think of us. Ok now this is the really strange part the hiered some dancers that were not really good or approprate lets just say i was glad the Elders had to leave early and they missed it Sister Miller and i were in shock the whole time it was sooo weird. But i don´t know maybe that is normal for them.

Sunday we had church and Sister Roch was there and it was really cool to see how all the lessons were perfect for her the addressed her needs dirctley! After Church we went over to there house and we taught about some of the commandment and asked if she had prayed about a day to be baptized and she said yes Febuary 14th and she said she had a good feelingg about that day and that is good enough for me so i hope i get to stay and see it happen :) I love Sister Roch this week she made sister Miler and i some jelwery :) So sweet after that lesson we went to the Rösler family and taught there he said it was cool because it reminded him of when the Sister missionaries taught him when he was investigating the church. After that we watched the christmas broadcast and that was fun to see.

Overall this week was pretty good got to go to a lot of meetings but got to accomplish a lot of things as well :) Love you all and hope you are all doing wonderfully i know that this church is true and that our Heavenly Father loves us!

Love
