Had a crazy week!

Ok first I hope Dad has a happy Birthday this week and that you guys have lots of fun! You luckies getting snow! The only snow I get is from the freezer and that isn´t even supposed to be there haha. OH Milkshake that little guy I miss him even if he is whiny haha. Well MOM I hope you have a good week and don´t forget to tell dad happy birthday!!!!!!! Ok on to the week it is a crazy one!

 

Tuesday we met with Angelika and the lesson went well. I did the Pray and Holy Ghost Lego game with her haha. She liked it. After that we went and helped this older lady in our ward to get to her moving wheelchair. That was cool. Something so simple but she needed to go out to do none other than visiting teaching. That is dedicated. It was cool to see. After that we got to meet with this girl named Dorina which is someone I have been trying to meet with since I have been in Essen and finally just got to. It was worth it. She was an exchange student in America with a Mormon family so she already knows a lot and she knows what she needs to change. The battle will be just to do it. 

 

Wednesday was an awesome day. I got to meet with tons of my favorite people starting with Bonnie. She is so cool we really have a good relationship now and I am finding it very helpful. Then we went and ate at Sister Neu´s, woooooow so much food as normal. Also as normal it was amazing the only thing was Tammy her grandchild was not there and we had really planned the lesson for her and so that was kinda sad until we just finished eating and she gets home and we are able to teach the lesson with her there! After that we met with Kristin and she said she wants to get baptized in March and I said ok as long as you pray about a date and feel like it is right. 

 

Thursday we met with Sister Offenbacher and she is the cutest old lady in the world!!! She lives right across the street from the church and she actually helped build it. She has such a strong testimony of the scriptures. It is really awesome. After that we were told to make cake for the fireside! Sweet my favorite. So we made two huge things of yummy chocolate cake one with Nutella frosting and one with coconut frosting and then we also made lemon squares.

 

Friday was the day of the fireside. We got to the church at 10 to help with the food, we stayed in the kitchen from 10 till 3 ....it was a dream for me haha not so much for Sister Zenger. I loved getting to know the ward members better and how to cook some German food haha. It was awesome. After that we had to practice for the missionary choir and do a lot of other little stuff. Right before the fireside started I got a call from Kristin she said “I did what you said I kneeled to the ground and prayed for a baptismal date and 5 mins. after I got an answer march 25" Cool huh. Ok yes it is on a Tuesday a little weird but I don´t care!!! The fireside went well Kristin got to meet our mission president and tell him she was getting baptized on March 25. That was cool. After the fireside we got permission from president to get home late to stay and help clean the church. We were there till about 10 pm so that means we were in the church for 12 hours nonstop on Friday!

All the food they had for the fireside.

 

Saturday we went to the church and cleaned some more then did computers and went to a street display in another area which actually was just street contacting...in the cold wind and rain...fun haha

 

Sunday was good. Church was fun. In sacrament meeting president talked and 2 of my favorite ward members. Sad that sister Roch and Kristin were out of town. After we had a ward lunch together. That was fun and then it was cleaning again. After that we just went home studied and weekly planned haha.

 

This week was strange but good but I am thankful this coming week is a little more normal. I know that Heavenly Father is in this work. I would for sure not be able to do it without him. I know that he loves the people here and I am trying to help them love him as well. I love you all and hope you have a good week!!!

 

LOVE,

Sister Wrathall
