Week 33 -- George Foreman Grill

This week the most amazing thing happened. Remember that episode on the office? Where Michael grills his foot? Well we found a George Foreman grill in our apartment lol. Probably the highlight of the week. 

Also taught one of our Chinese friends and we taught him who God is for the first time in his life. After explaining how he knows us and he's always there he said umm always? And we said yes. Our friend said what about in the shower? Hahahaha so dang cute. We taught him to pray for the first time and it was probably the sweetest thing I have ever experienced. 

Somehow we ended up getting into a bus crash. We were just driving along and all the sudden the loudest noise happened and all the sudden me and Sister Andrew flew 10 feet across the isle into this tiny Turk grandma cruising around in her walker. Pretty sure I got a contusion from sister Andrews knee jabbing into my thigh. But we were blessed I think. Probably just going to sit down on every bus now.

Also a quote from my legend grandpa made it all the way to my little branch in Germany. I was listening in Sunday school and what I was hearing sounded way familiar and I looked up and saw the guy had translated a quote from my grandpa into German and shared it with everyone. Small world.

Heidelberg 

The cute fraus we teach German to. Which most the time sister Andrew is teaching and I'm actually learning too lol.

And us crusing in a suburban from the 70s

Week 32 -- Planning how to plan better

This week we planned about how to plan better hahaha. RIP. But all in all, we are getting a teaching pool. And I am seeing how much potential there is here. Also maybe if you have any ideas for it to not feel like we are targeting someone because there are 3 us that would be good to know. Lol

Also met the coolest Chinese guy. Honestly not sure how to say his name but something close to Jimmy. We talked to him and in his cute baby English was saying things like "wait, you actually get answers? Do I pay you? Is there an address I go to? So why are we here?" Hahahaha. I wished I sounded that cute when I was trying to speak German. 

We also met a guy that stood in the pouring rain and hail to listen to the restoration. He just loves it. And this time I didn't have to kick sister Clawson to say the first vision. 

Today we went to Heidelberg and I met some of Ellie's people. Literally, just out here trynna be like Ellie talking to any Asians I can lol. Also, don't worry my gogurt drink made it to the top with my dope I am a child of God ring. 

Week 31 -- Kaiserslautern

Yeah my b. This emails gotta be short. But this week boy have I learned a lot. We probably spend more time planning than doing missionary work which is pretty dumb. Also got told I am breaking the rules cuz I missed showering one day hahahaha. But it's good. It's weird when it's 2 against 1. But you lose some and win some.

Also we are starting to get everything here going in ktown. We are seeing miracles everyday. Look for God's hand in your life and you'll find it. Thanks for the prayers

Week 30 -- KTown

This week has been crazy. We had a member appointment and sister weakly took the call for when we got invited. Apparently, they thought we could stay at their house till the new year. So when we got there we ate and were looking at his dope old soccer pics where they wore the shortest shorts. But then they were saying things like we'll we have 5 hours what should we do. So then they were like way bummed driving us home at 9:30. Lol. But done worry still jumped out of bed and got on the roof to watch the fireworks.

Anyways got transfer calls and I'm in Kaiserslautern now. The opposite side of the mission. Also I'm in a dritt (trio)...So prayers will be appreciated. I had to give my testimony for my last Sunday in Solingen and I tried to pronounce my area. Everyone was yelling from the audience telling me how to say it right. Then I said yeah that's why we just call it KTown. Haha perfect way to end it there. I'm going to miss it. 

Also our new convert Celine being a boss and helping us find people to teach. She's so cute that literally everyone listened to her. Sister weakly is going to have to take her finding with them. And also hauling all my crap on my own hahaha. Don't worry the soccer ball still made it.

Sister Clegg

From her comp's email:

But before I get rid of sister Clegg too fast I have to talk about new years! Here in Germany they only have fireworks once a year. New years and they only sell them 4 days before new years so everyone goes crazy!!! We were laying in bed at 10:45 and started hearing gunshots. Needless to say we couldn't sleep and slowly proceeded to pretty much climb out the window to watch the beautiful fireworks exploding on the horizon of Solingen, Germany! Seriously the best way to Start 2019 off! It was amazing! Then we went to bed to the sound of blowing up balls of fire and seriously the biggest smiles on our faces! 

Dropping off sister Clegg at the train station was probably the crappiest part of my week. She was the best trainer I could have gotten and it was hard to leave that ball of faith!
