Week 29 -- 3 Baptisms



This week was probably the best, weirdest, most awkward, but amazing week of my mission. This weekend we saw three baptisms in Solingen. Here's how the baptism went. Showed up and the programs weren't even made yet...So I was running around everywhere trying to get people to do prayers and find out everyones names(without asking them of course because I should know their names by now)  But cute Celine was like way late. The Germans were freaking out because they are so punctual. 
So then bishop stands up to start it so I have to be like umm no not yet...So awkward. Then everyone just sung weird German Christmas songs that no one knew till she finally got there 40 minutes late. So we started and one of our friends of the church said the prayer. And only said one thing then said amen. Then ends with ya I know it was short and walks off. Then me and weak had to give a talk. I have no idea what I said so hopefully that means it was the spirit talking not me. Then there was a musical number and it was so bad. The poor girl just played all the wrong keys. I just prayed they would feel the spirit and I loved over and they were all crying so something went right i guess. Then they all got baptized. Gabriella came out crying, Celine came out and gave everyone two thumbs up and Alex picked his wedgie as he walked out lol. Amazing. 
Going out for lunch with our district on pday
Also for Christmas we ate these huge things that I swear were literally boogers. It's actually called Knödel. I would not suggest feeding that to missionaries. 

Anyway somehow got to talk to my cute fam even tho no busses wanted to come. It was pretty much just like being home again. Did some fortnite dances with the little bros. Lots of double chins. Burped and my whole fam clapped for me. Ellie told us all her crazy food stories in China. Mine weren't as crazy so had to made them funny so they were comparable. Got to see Spencer's big fat feet. Tanner is trying to be like me by growing his hair out. 

Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas. Also got some dope Onezies for Christmas. Thanks for the prayers and letters and emails
