VERRÜCKTE TAUFE!

Hey everyone!

 So im doing my email today because its Easter weekend and Germans party from friday to monday, dont ask me why but, im assuming its just an excuse to drink more beer haha but yeah everything is closed so we wouldnt be able to do it tomorrow.. Well, I got to tell you, Last Pday was way fun! Me and Ben got some funny pictures! We had a blast even though alot of it was just wandering through Berlin, but hey thats how you learn a city, by just wandering!

So this week, we did alot of preparing, because Ringo passed his interview last monday night after Pday.. so the whole last week, I swear it was so chaotic.. Seriously, From wednesday to friday it was just complete chaos, because we dont have a baptismal font in Eberswalde, we have to go to a different place called Neubrandburg, its 2 1/2 hours away by train (if trains are running smoothly) so, we had buy tickets for the entire branch and call to see who could make it, and what not.. It was just all over the place lol and plus we have to teach english classes on Wednesday night, which was tough because we have to prepare alot for that lol.. but yeah I would tell you about the other appointments but they all fell out this week.. Im not joking, every one of our appointments fell out, but at least some called and said sorry and we will meet next week... But yeah back to the baptism haha Well Friday came, and we met everyone at the train station so we could ride up together, and then 4 people wound up not even showing up, so me and E. Colton were mad because we had to pay for extra tickets...but anyways, the train ride took for ever! I swear 2-3 hours on a train is no fun lol. but yeah we got to Neubrandenburg and everything was going great and we started the program until one of the elders realized that the baptismal font had drained pretty much all of the water while we were in the chapel lol. So all the Elders (8 of us) went out took our suits off and starting getting buckets of waters to fill this font up hahaha It took forever! It was funny though, we took vacuum hoses and ran them from the bathroom sink to the baptismal font to let the water run hahah It was so funny, I got some good pictures of it!, But we got it all full and everything but, man was that water cold! Im glad I didnt have to get in! lol.. But after that everything went fine, but someone chose wierd hymn songs that nobody knew and I swear we sounded like a bunch of pigs being slaughtered! haha It was so bad.. I tried not to laugh....too hard.. lol! VERRÜCKTE TAUFE!! (Crazy Baptism) ..But yeah It was great! Im so glad he got baptized, he is a cool guy.. Its so cool to see the person transform into somebody totally new..These are the things that you dont forget! So yeah I got my firsted baptism of my mission, really excited stuff!

On Saturday though, ( I just remembered we had 1 appointment go through lol).. We met with the Zimmerman family, It went alright but they made us Eisbein for dinner! Eisbein is like the meat on a pig around its knee joint.. ohhh man it was pretty bad... and they gave us alcohol free beer to drink and that stuff tasted horrible! It seriously was a tough meal to put down... I gagged a couple of times because I was trying to use the beer to wash that stuff down, but it was a bad idea to put those 2 things together at one time. lol. But yeah we had a good time, and they have this huge 60ft. tree in their backyard, and im totally gonna climb it next week! Dont worry ill get some good pictures from it lol. I have to say though, im so tired of eating pig meat.. when i come home, im not gonna eat any pig meat for years! haha so no pork chops when i get home dad! lol

But yeah today was pretty good, we had the normal church meeting, and we had a ward lunch together for easter, there was some pretty good food, I have to say..but yeah thats pretty much it, later today were gonna go visit one of my favorite members Sch.Will.. But yeah, I hope everything is going great at home and that everyone is having a great easter! and know what, ill be home for the next one! Weird huh? lol.Well enjoy, Easter Sunday!

Schöne Woche

Tschüß
