Hey
guys...5th week of the 13th transfer. I feel like an old person. A lot
haha. Like growing old is the worst. I want to be 20 and irresponsible
for the rest of my life. The last week was like really fast. But I'm SO
tired today haha we were at so many appointments and traveling in our
area is kind of a pain. My shoulder is doing better. I can move it and
whatever I want with it. It hurts sometimes and it's really week so I
stretch it and try to work it back up. Pray for me haha. The best parts
of the week were the story that Elder Loitz and I are writing about our
district, and we started reading psalms together and having indie
philosophical discussions about the gospel while we sit on the floor
with candles.....It keeps us going haha.
Last week:
Montag: Monday was
p-day. We were supposed to do all our work in the morning and have a
nice relaxed day, but our appointment canceled so we moved everything
around. We had a good p-day. That night we were both wiped though so we
just made calls and cleaned and did apartment work. It was really good
though because we made appointments out with like 4 people. So work
smarter not harder.
Diesnstag: Tuesday morning was great. We met with
Sister B from the ward and it was the first time meeting her. She
kind of yelled at us at first but she calmed down and ended up giving us
a bunch of food. So we're grateful. That was a blessing because we had
like no money at all haha. Story of our lives. SO we kind of walked
around with cans of food in our backpacks all day. We ate out with
Sister B at Mr. Wu's, our favorite Chinese buffet. Always golden.
Then we had an awkward appointment with this family that we thought was
inactive, but the just go to another ward haha. That was great too. And
we met with H at night. He made us rice and Persian food. The best.
Mittwoch: Wednesday was District Meeting. woo. DCM is
always interesting. Our district is the best actually. I love them all.
Like we're friends. We came home and ate and I worked on my 'therapeutic
maneuvers', as I call them. It usually ends up with me just dancing
with the stretchy band to music. Missions make you crazy. We had a great
lesson with R, our investigator and we finally got her to admit and
commit to reading the BoM because it'll help her. It only took like 4
weeks. Gracious.
Donnerstag: Thursday was hectic! We met with T
K in the morning, met a new sister from the ward named sister K,
which was a cool lesson. And then we rode to Bad Oldesloe and met with
Sister S. Haha oh gosh H drove us and he went down a one way
street and this cop came out and talked to us. Totally embarrassing but
nothing happened. But we ran around to those appointments.
Freitag: Friday was great we went and ate with Sister
B again at Greek food. I love Greek food so much. And then we went
and met with E A. It was a good lesson. He wants to learn more
and come to church, but he works like 18 hours a day or something crazy
stupid like that, so it's hard. But we're working really hard with him
and hopefully he'll want to receive his answer enough to actually do it.
That would be good for him. We had to ride back to Bad Oldesloe after
that for our joint teach with B. That went better then last time
haha. We'll see where that goes.
Samstag: Saturday morning was the gauntlet. We played
soccer in this cage field thing with the ward. I only fell on my arm
once haha it hurt so bad. But it's all good again. Soccer is fun and
we're really developing good relationships through it. They always ask
why American missionaries get to good at soccer. It's the spirit. But
Saturday was cool after getting ready and studying, Frau S called
us because her grandson from America was there so we went and met him.
He's going on his mission to Finland soon, so we talked about being a
missionary. It was super cool and then we went home again.
Sonntag: Sunday was pretty normal. We got a new GML
(ward mission leader) though! Bruder Z was replaced by Bruder
J, the jacked guy from Britain. I'm super excited for that! I
think he'll be great. I know he will haha. After church we ate at the
N's. We had fish and potatoes and it was good tasting. Then we came
home and we planned for the next week. And I did my 'therapeutic
maneuvers'. Classic.
So the week was pretty average actually. My shoulder is
doing better, even though it's hurting right now. Last week was good
because we got this refocus back and I had a good study this morning so
things are golden. Psalms 1 is the greatest. You should read it.
For the family: My shoulder is good. I have moments
where I just need to take a ton of pain killers haha. But like I've
talked to 2 different doctors that have told me that there's nothing you
can really do about it. It'll heal and muscle will rebuild naturally
and everything will be peachy keen. Transfer calls are on Friday!
I love you all so much! Can't wait to see you!
