Happy P-Day, Family!
I'm having a great time. It is such
an awesome opportunity! I love it so much. It's been a pretty crazy, awesome
week. I don't know if I ever mentioned it, but once upon a time our cabinet
fell off the wall and fell on Sister Wilson, and so they FINALLY came and put
it back up this last week. It only took like two months...haha. But we are very
afraid of it right now, just in case it attacks again. Also it broke all our
dishes, so we've only had one bowl pretty much our whole time together. We just
trade off in the morning by eating cereal and then washing it and handing it
over. The office said they bought us more, but then they lost them somewhere,
haha. We also rode our bikes all day every day this week. I kinda fell down.
Mostly I was getting off of it and my foot got caught on the bar and I just
fell right down on my Popo in the middle of a busy sidewalk. That was
embarrassing. I had to do the walk of shame with my bike. It didn't hurt and
nothing bad happened. I just fell all over my bike and was embarrassed. Oh
well!
We went to this funeral this last week. About a month ago
Sister Wilson and I were walking around Hanau, and a man stops us and is like,
'Hi I'm a member! My parents are these people, and I'm baptized!' Anyway, fast forward a month and the son's
wife has passed away, and we were asked to go to the funeral. The dad spoke at the graveside service (the
woman was cremated). I was sad for the
guy because his wife had just passed and he was obviously really upset, but he
gave Sister Wilson and me a big hug (not allowed, ps), and then did the crazy
European kiss on both cheeks thing. I have gotten more
kisses here than in my whole life. (That is not hard, though, bahaha). They are really sweet.
Actually, yesterday I spoke in Sacrament! Who knows how it went.
Nobody said anything, so maybe that's a good thing?? Or maybe it was so bad
that people didn't want to face me afterward. Oh...we are in a weird little
Turkish internet cafe and there is wonderful Turkish pop music going on.
Delightful. Also during District Meeting last week, some people in the ward
were setting up for a wedding reception and they were playing some stuff from
the Harry Potter soundtrack. And then this really popular pop song came on.
That was weird too.
So the Street Preach was basically around ten or twelve
missionaries, and we went to Aschaffenburg and set up this table/booth thing
and had huge pictures of Christ and lots of free material and balloons and
candy to lure in the children, heheheheeee. No, lol, it was a really big
success. I got to hand out balloons and candy for four hours! That was awesome.
Also an old guy declared his undying love for me during the Street Preach, but
don't worry that's normal. I'm just saying that if the pickings are slim when I
get home next year, I can always come back here and have plenty of options...
We're hoping to do a street preach in our area this upcoming transfer. I have a
feeling that I'll be staying and Sister Wilson will be going, but we still have
a couple weeks until Transfer Calls, so we are just being patient. We have an
awesome ward out here, and we're just over this one ward, so that's the only one
we attend. It is way awesome. I love it so much!
Tomorrow we get to go back to Aschaffenburg and look at the
AWESOME castle that's there. So next week I should have some cool pictures. The
picture is all the sisters after the Street Preach. It was way fun
.
It's been a really cool week, and we're excited about what
we're doing this next week. Love you all so much!
