Hallo hallo hallo!
Laws
Soooo apparently Germany has a law that we can't share any information about the people we teach sooooo just disregard the names I said before...they're fake or something lol (oops). Also we can't share pictures of the people we're teaching either so get ready for lots of pics of only Sister Smith and I haha.
Teaching!!
So we're trying to baptize our whole area, but it's not exactly going according to plan...yet 😉 But we had some good progress this week!!
1. So our one friend won't answer us back...awkward.
2. The other one we are inviting to be baptized next week!! Buuuut he doesn't live in our area apparently so we have to pass him off after the next lesson...so sad.
3. The one guy has been so busy with work that we haven't had a lesson in a while. BUT he read some of the Book of Mormon! We had marked it up with our fav verses and he read those, so hopefully he likes it!
4. Most of the lessons this week were with members and less actives since I don't know any of them...still don't cause the all spoke German (it's like I'm in Germany or sum) and I didn't understand a word but whateva, they seem nice!
New Friends!
Remember "Project English Connect" ?? Wellllll we found FOUR solid people from that this week!!
1. This one's my fav, she's so stinkin cute. She messaged about one of our English-Teaching posts and said she wanted to practice English AND learn about out church...like whaaaaa?? So that was cool. She's also the nicest person I've ever met (besides my mom) so that's cool.
2. She is also adorable!! We are going to meet with her in person next week so that's exciting! To practice her English we read an article from the Gospel Library with her the other day and she asked us so many questions about the plan of happiness and eternal families!! Very very cool.
3. THIS IS THE COOLEST ONE. Soooo like 3 years ago this guy saw some missionaries who gave him a Book of Mormon. And he saw our post and recognized the badge so he messaged us to practice English & German (he's from Mexico) well it turns out he read that whole Book of Mormon and believes it!! He was telling us all about how he loves the book and knows it's what he should live and follow...it was amazing. We're aboutta have a BOMB lesson with him next week.
4. This is our homie who refuses to call pickles anything but "salty cucumbers" and he's also the cutest person ever. He's just so sweet and genuine!! He wants to know more about our church and is SO interested in the modern day prophet thingy so we're pretty pumped about him.
I'm Deaf...I mean Blind...I Mean Both
So we were on our way to the church the other day (to mooch off the wifi yanno) and we start chatting with this guy at the cross walk. Well he turns around and listens up until he reads my badge and then he points to his ears like he's deaf. So Sister Smith does the sign for Jesus Christ & Faith, and he covers his eyes...? But then a lady across the street said hello to us as she was crossing the street and the dude turned around and said hi back. It was super awkward but then it got even more awkward when we all started to walk the same way 😂 alles gut though, we got the message.
The Language...?
This week I've noticed that for every new German word I learn, I forget 5 English words. So basically instead of bilingual I'll be coming home mute. Haha jk the language is coming! It might be slow but it's still improving!
The Title
So last night I was having a dream that I was on my sisters floor and there was a lot of smoke in the air so I yelled "SOMETHINGS SMOKING!!" But it turns out I yelled it in real life and woke myself AND my comp up. So now we're both half awake and she's like "...what??" As she's freaking out in her head cause she thinks somethings buring (ptsd from the panini press maybe??) And I'm like "...hm?" (still processing the crazy dream I was just having) and she's like "...are you awake?" And in my head I said "no not really" but out loud it sounded like "mmhamnmdmm." So basically we're going nuts #sendhelp.
Weekly Spiritual Dose
A lot of the people we've come across these past couple of weeks don't have an interest in the gospel, but they remember the missionaries being so nice. It's really all about planting those seeds, and not just any seed but a GOOD one. Every. Single. Interaction is a chance to change someone's life. That could be a good or bad thing, but I hope y'all make it a good one!!
Love & miss all your cute faces!!
