Hey Everyone,
Happy Easter! I hope that you all had tons of fun with all
the Easter Eggs, Easter Bunnies, and other fun things that come. We had a
great weekend, and it was a lot of fun to be with the members.
This week was a really great week, and even though it was a
lot colder than I would have liked, and we didn't have as much success as we
would have liked to have it was good. First of all on Monday for P-Day we
went bowling with some other Elders. Which was fun. I almost scored
100, which means that either my sweet skills from Wii Bowling don't transfer to
real bowling, or it's just been a long time since I have bowled. I would
be tempted to say both. Afterwards we had an appointment with the S
family. They are way cool. And their kids are super funny. It
was just really good.
On Tuesday, we had our District Meeting, which was tons of
fun. I just always love being with other missionaries. There is
always such a great spirit there. The new missionaries to the District
are really great, and I think we will be able to help each other quite a bit.
On Wednesday, we went by on Sister V, who we did service
for last week.
Thursday, was a good day. We baked some no-bake
cookies for a potential investigator. I think I have talked
about her before. She was now sick, and we figured that if Sisters take
cookies to people all the time, and if Sisters always have investigators maybe
we should be more like Sisters. (Only relating to missionary work.
Nothing else here.) So we baked no-bake cookies which was
hilarious. Mostly because we kept asking members of the district how hot
the oven needed to be, and how long it needed to be in the oven, and so they
were all getting super nervous that we were going to burn our apartment down
and just have problems. The Sisters phoned us and got mad at us for it.
The other Elders just made fun of us. Elder C and I just
laughed a ton. So we made the cookies and they turned out okay (we forgot
the butter, so maybe we aren't as good of cooks as we thought) and then gave
them to Frau C. Then we were going to have an appointment with the
W family.
On Friday we had the baptism. Which was really cool.
I sang in the middle part while B was changing, but it went well, and I
was happy with it, so that's all that matters. We stayed and ate after
and then helped clean everything up Then we tried to go by on some
people, but nobody was home and we figured that going door to door on Good
Friday wouldn't be super great. We tried to talk to everyone we saw, and
met some 'friendly' Russian men, who gave us their address. We later
found out it was fake.... Great...
On Saturday, we were in Pforzheim for most of the day and
were finding.
On Sunday, we had a Young Women's Presentation. I
don't ever remember having anything like that at home, but I have had two here.
It was pretty good, I suppose. After church we went to lunch at
J's. Which was pretty good. I even ate some Salmon. And
I liked it. I guess it's just because I am so old and mature.
All in all, it was a good week. We are working
really well, and get along great. I really know that Elder Chapman is the
answer to many prayers said during times with some 'sweet' companions.
We're making a lot of progress, becoming better missionaries, helping
more people, and having a lot of fun.
Don't
forget that you can still send me some letters too if e-mails are too boring.
Haha!
