My foot hurts a little sometimes but
it is almost not swollen some days it isn´t in the morning so I think the orthotics
are working and I just wear them all the time. Good job going out with the
Sister Missionaries again. I know I am always grateful when we have a member
with us, it makes the lesson a lot better. It is warm here today and i am grateful
for it because I am going hiking and playing sports :) and good job with
reading in the Book of Mormon I am in Alma as well. I think chapter 25 or
something like that. That is good to know i will be going home earlier than I
thought haha. That is funny that they tell you and not me. Sounds like your
week was fun and thanks for the pictures :) Ok on to my week :)
Tuesday we made a bulletin board for
missionary work in our church building. I will take a picture when it is fully
done. We still need to put some pictures up but it is looking really good :)
Then we went and met with Cathy and Michelle which was really good. We had pizza
together and then we taught the first lesson to Michelle and man was it funny
haha. We watched the Restoration video and bore testimony then asked Michelle
if she believed that it really happened and she said " no" so Sister
Teeples and I were like oh no!!! But Cathy being a good mother was like
ummmm and why not haha turns out she thought the film was filmed while
Joseph Smith was actually going through all of his experiences and she was like
how would have known all of that was going to happen to him. Once we cleared
that up she was ohhhh ok then I believe it haha then started asking questions
like " so when I am baptized..." So we are excited for her :)
Wednesday was...fun haha we had some
repair men come to our apartment and fix our shower because the whole building
has water damage so they got to our apartment at 10:30 and left at 1 sooo we
were stuck there forever! Once they were done we went to Sister Keil´s house
and prepared with her to teach the Erb couple. We get the Erds and they have
all of these golden questions like so what do you believe about repentance and forgiveness
and what happens after this life. Sister Teeples and I were like well we have
lessons that answer those questions. But that day we taught the restoration
because last time they asked what makes our church different and they loved it
and Sister Keil was the PERFECT joint teach. It was great. After Sister Keil
took us out for ice cream :)

Thursday we had breakfast with
Sister Dabron. She is super nice she made crepes for us and she is a great
member missionary. Then we met with Kristin at the Taylors and watched a movie
on Thomas S. Monson because she had questions on the Prophet and she loved the
video and called Thomas S. Monson a man of God. She knows and we know the only thing
holding her back for baptism is the Book of Mormon. She believes that it brings
us closer to God but she doesn´t know if it is historically correct. After that
we went to meet with Sister Garbrecht, one of our new ward missionaries. We got
off at the stop and our gps wasn´t working so I went and asked this lady how to
get to the street and she saw me holding DAS BUCH MORMON and said “I just had a
class on your religion and I was quite impressed”. Then her bahn came and she
was gone!!! But I did give her a card. Anyways we found the way and Sister
Garbrecht was super nice and has a dog that looks like a fox! After her we went
to Institute and that was fun seeing some of the BYU students not understanding
anything haha we were talking about tithing and the word in German sounds a lot
like Satan and so at the end Sister Teeples asked one of them what they
understood and he said....we are paying something to Satan hahahahaha! OH NO.
Friday was good. We first did weekly
planning (not so fun) then we went to lunch at where the BYU students are and
they made us tacos :) They asked us if we talked to this lady the other day by their
stop and we said yes (the one that just got out from a lesson on our religion)
Turns out she is their teacher and they had taught the class! Cool huh! Anyways
that whole lunch was weird because we were with people our age but as
missionaries... but we made it through haha. After that we met up with Carla a
girl that served a mission here a while ago and she went with us to teach this
referral we got named Xinxin. She was super nice the language barrier is hard.
After that we decided to ride our new favorite bus, bus 32 we call it now the
baptism bus haha. So we hopped on and this Chinese guy was sitting next to me
and Sister Teeples and I just found out that the Book of Mormon is in like 4
different translations of Chinese so i asked him which was the best and he
chose one and then asked if he could keep it...YES! I was shocked so Sister
Teeples took over and asked if he would ever want to meet and talk about the
book and he said yes gladly....!!!!! But lame-o students, we have to wait till
his exams are over so 2 weeks but after that :) Then we went to meet with
Sister Breitenhuber which went well haha. We talked about the atonement and at
the end of the lesson she said since I have been meeting with you I can feel a
change in my life and I just want you to know that you are good missionaries
awwww so then I asked if she was ready to come back to church and she said no
then Sister Teeples asked if she would go back in the future and she said
" do you want some chocolate " hahaha it was so funny. I know one day
she will come back.

Saturday we had Zone training and
then the Elders had a baptism. Rochelle was baptized and she is the sweetest
lady Sister Teeples and I got to help her get ready and after she was baptized
it was a good day.
Sunday we had church then after we
met with Cathy and Michelle and did a short overview of the plan of salvation
and that went well. Then we went with Carla to meet with Jennifer. We taught
the restoration and it went super well. She LOVED the movie. At the end of the
lesson I asked her if she would be baptized on the 14th of June and she said
yes! So we are excited for that :)
SO that was my week :) A good one in
my eyes :) LOVE YOU ALL
Sister Wrathall
