So yes. Elder Uchtdorf and his cute wife Harriet came. And yes they spoke in German. First thing they said was "sprechen sie alle deutsch?" I actually got a lot out of their talks but maybe I was just making it up in my head pretending like I knew what they said. Pretty much a miracle. It was so cool hearing them speak in their native language. And actually being able to understand. It was really cool. He didn't say anything just out of the ordinary but like everything he said was just really good. I don't have my notes with me. But it was really cool he just talked about how we are the extent of the prophet. And that people around the world in all the temple and churches are praying for you the missionaries. And that he and the apostles and the prophet pray for us every day. And that 20000 people are baptized to our church every month. The conference center fits 20000 people. That is our work. We are a part of that even if we don't get that many here in Germany. Oh he also talked about calling missionaries. He talked about the process and talked about how we each got personally called by a prophet to come to serve here in Germany.
At the end, they were so cute and just stood at the stand and were like it's just so hard to leave. And Harriet is so cute. She really is so full of love. After they talked they just both stood at the stand and looked out at us and were like awh it is so hard to leave. Then they like walked out and I was the last missionary before they walked out the door and she just put her arm around me and was like wow. I love this place. Its were I grew up
Me and sister Linebaugh ended up accidentally missing our train which cost like 300 euro...oops. But at least we got to go finding in Frankfurt for a little bit while we waited for the tech elders to buy us another one.
Everyone here in Germany loves their dogs. It's so funny because you can take them everywhere. So in the stores, in the busses and trains, everywhere you go people are bringing their dogs with.
We went back to this lady's house this week that we doored a couple weeks ago. She was the one that let us in to her house because we had such positive energy she could feel. So we decided to drop by because we were in the area. Turns out she was having bible study with the Jehovah Witnesses. We came up to her door and she was like to the JWs "look how beautiful they are" and the JWs rolled their eyes and said yeah way too young. Haha we had to drop her cuz she likes them more...
I promise we are actually teaching people. Just too many to write about(; I'll let you know once we get a baptism tho. And the miracle is that members are teaching with us. Thank you for all the prayers. They are greatly appreciated
