Conference! 4/7/14

Happy April! The weather here is sooooo nice. Seriously, Mannheim looks so much better with green in it. The parks are so pretty now. I love the good weather! I think I may have blinded all of Germany because I finally unleashed my pasty legs from their tights last week. They are in serious need of some Vitamin D.
General Conference was soooo great! We watched the Womens Session in Heidelberg on Saturday afternoon. Then we were able to watch the Saturday morning session on Saturday evening. Next day they broadcast the Saturday afternoon session, which we watched in Heidelberg with one of our investigators. That evening they broadcast the Sunday morning session, and we watched that with some members. Usually they'll broadcast the Sunday afternoon session the next week at church. I hope they do that here, too! It was soooooo amazing! I learned so many things. I'm way bummed that that was the last conference of my mission, but I'm glad that I learned how amazing and important General Conference actually is! I hope that I remember all that I learned and that I actually do something about it, haha.
Glad that everyone is alive! We're still alive too. This week was good. We were able to be outside a lot and do some service projects and stuff, and I was way happy that there was no rain or anything. We had our last district meeting at the Wasserturm and then went out to eat together. That was way fun. The new district is cool, too! We also have Zone Training tomorrow, surprise! Told us about that one just a couple days ago, haha. This transfer is only five weeks! It's going to go by sooooo fast, especially with all the crazy stuff happening, like Easter and splits and stuff.
We had a way fun PDay last week! We did end up having a picnic on the river. A dog came and stole some of our stuff. But luckily his owner was nice enough to bring it back, haha. I think we're going to a castle today. I'm not exactly positive, but it's okay, PDays usually always turn out way fun when you hang out with your district. Also the Zone Leaders have apparently announced that they refuse to plan anymore Zone PDays, because the last one was a big flop, I guess, and hardly anyone came, haha. Oops and I showed Sister Lehman the pics before I read the email...that's okay, she's cool and doesn't judge. We just laughed and she said that that's her family as well. But luckily we have the Internet and Ensign to review the talks that we slept through!!
Mannheim is really great. We serve one ward here. The Mannheim ward, obviously. The members are really cool. We usually get to meet with them a couple times a week. Good food lately...we've been trying to figure out how to make curry, haha. We went to a little creepy Asian food store and bought some coconut milk and curry paste. It tasted pretty good for it being our first attempt! I love curry now. It's soooo good. Also all the ice cream stores have opened up again. That's really dangerous for us. Ice cream is really delicious here. And very convenient to get, haha.
The church is true. General Conference has answers for us.
