C-R-A-Z-Y

 Hey y'all! 

Germany

TWO elders from the MTC made it to Germany!! There was a lot of confusion at the borders but they made it in (legally lol) and then literally right after that the German government announced they would be extending the restrictions on the borders. Sooo that means the rest of us won't be going there at least for another 2 weeks but it was still good news that someone made it!!

What Now?

The talk is that we'll be reassigned to missions in England but we actually have no clue haha. Things are finally moving though and it looks like we'll be getting out of the MTC eventually if its not to Germany. 

The Toilet.../:

We have 2 toilets in our apartment (thankfully) but one of them you have to like...pump the handle to get it to flush. Ooor you have to stand on the tub and put like all of your weight on the handle. Anywho Sister Cannon always really struggled with it and then it stopped working haha. So we tried to fix it but England toilets are different than America's (crazy how that works) and we ended up having a dude come fix it. It flushes now but you still have to kinda jump and push down as hard as you possibly can haha...I'll update y'all if the handle breaks off. 

Bomb Shelter? Nah, Covid Shelter

We're #boredoutofourminds and built a fort!! That's what the weird pictures with the cheetos are. 

Frank

Frank ran from us ): but then we saw him again and he gave us lots of loves. But then he poked Sister Winder with his claw and it freaked her out so he ran lol 

THOMAS IS GETTING BAPTIZED!!!

lol jk Thomas is actually my brother Tanner acting as a German guy so we can practice teaching the lessons in German. Haha gotcha. 

Real Lessons

We've been able to sit in on some lessons with our virtual companions in Heidelberg!! It kinda makes us super duper stressed but it's soooo nice to actually use the language we've been studying for 5 months haha. We had a pretty BOMB lesson with this dude Ali who we taught that Jesus Christ is not on a prophet but also the Son of God. It was awesome!! We didn't know what was going on most of the time but the gift of tongues is REAL and Sister Cannon bore her testimony of Jesus Christ at the exact moment he needed it. It was so amazing. 

Escaping Prison 

England is now on SUPER strict lock down because they've been having 50,000+ new cases each day...it's bad. BUT before the new rules (we can only leave our room once a day now) we would go on walks on the temple grounds and down to the canal in our jogging route. It snowed the other day and it was SO pretty so that's why there's a million pictures of it. 

Weekly Spiritual Dose 

My cute friend Nicole sent me the sweetest message on the day we found out we weren't going to Germany anytime soon. It completely lifted my spirits and changed my whole week. Do you guys ever have those tiny thoughts to text someone or even just wave at someone? I know I do and unfortunately more often than not I push them aside. This week I'm going to TAKE ALL THE PROMPTINGS!! And my challenge is for y'all to take them as well. Let me know your experiences!

That's it for this week! Sorry there's nothing super exciting lol. Love you all!!
