Hey everyone!
Well this week was great we got quite alot done and things are really starting to pick up speed here in Minden... My luck right when I might be out of this city next tuesday!..Oh well thats life..
So On Tuesday, we helped a member literally remodel her apartment haha this is also the same lady we helped move her in when I first came to Minden.. She decided she was tired of sitting on the floor so she bought like every piece of furniture you could imagine to fill up her apartment haha, So let me explain to you the german thought process of doing work.... First we get together make a plan, then take a break for tea.... then we put together a couple chairs, then another break for tea, then we do something else, and break for tea... so on a so forth... Well I was tired of the german method so we did it the american way and put everything together from couches to tables to chairs to cabinets to coffee tables, i mean you name it in like 3 hours..Then drank tea afterwards haha Now if we would of done it the other way it wouldv been like 8 hours...They were shocked how fast we moved haha It was pretty funny..
Wednesday we had Zone Conference in Hannover.. It was actually pretty good, usually im like, does this meeting ever end? haha but there was actually some pretty good talks I was impressed, so that was way cool...and yeah everything after that is a blank to me, I dont know why I cant remember haha Probably because there is this lady in front of me speaking some weird clicking language really loud.. Meine Gute!
Thursday wasnt too interresting, I just made calls to investigators to make appointments out and what not, Iv become pretty good and convincing people to let us over.. At first I was terrified to speak on the phone.. I swear, I remember my first phone call to someone... It was like I never had used a phone in my life... they said hello... they i gave the awkward.. hello? back haha and just stared at the phone wondering why someone was speaking german through it... haha and they ask who it is, then i just repeat back to them the same question... it was pretty funny haha should of recorded it... but, Now im the master! and most of the time i find myself joking with people on the phone for like 5-10 minutes haha im like whoops, the bills for the mission are gonna be going up! lol
Friday we went to the funneral for Sch.Riechmann... It was just like a funeral back home except the dont do the ceremony in the church.. It was really nice, and we even met someone there that we went and visited on Saturday.. But she didnt have to much interest just wanted us to move a fridge for her, but she fed us cake! Das Kann Gar Nicht Schief Gehen! haha
Sunday Was the sweetest sunday ever! We went to church and a investigator showed up! His name is Herr Von Bieren! He is pretty cool.. I called him up and invited him to come to a bible study class for wednesday night and he actually went! ( We werent there)... But he went and then came to church on sunday.. He seem to really enjoy it and then the bishop invited us and him to have dinner with them.. so we went and had dinner and played games... It was such a great sunday! and it was so Unexpected.. I thought it was just gonna be another boring ol' Sunday (oops did I say that)... I mean a wonderful sunday haha and all of the lesson during church were about the Book of mormon and everything! It fit so perfect.. So we got him moving in the right direction!
Well thats it for me this week! Im a lil tired but im still chugging along! and its stinking cold! everything is just frozen, because its so humid here and its -5°C here! Oh yeah it was sweet, this member family here they gave me a sweet Nike Coat to go over my suit! Man its so nice and warm! I love it and them of coarse! haha
Well I hope you all have a great week!
Bis Dann!
