Stuff n' Stuff

So, Family, How is everything going this week?

Good?

Wonderful!

I find out, a week from today, where I’m going, who I’m going with, and so on and so forth. I don’t want this Transfer to end! Both Sister Dröge and I are praying that we get to stay companions, but… we’ll see how it goes. I may go outbound, I may not. We shall see.
Since today is our second to last p-day, we’re having a zone activity and going Bowling. Sister Shugart, Dröge and Fellmann and I are all going to gateway after words and getting ice cream to celebrate our times together. It’ll be fun. I’ll be the only American in the group! Canada, Germany, and Switzerland/England/France. Fun, no?

Anyway… this week was good, kind of merged into the other week.On Wednesday we had 5 German tours. I think we both had an overdose of German. The first 3 were fine, then we contacted a German motor coach and after that we both had headaches, but it worked out. The first family that we gave a tour to that day referred. We were soooo excited because that was the first German family that had ever wanted to learn more, aside from what we told them, enough to fill out the card.A little later in the week, we had a tour with a husband and wife, the wife wanted to learn more, but the husband didn’t want to. We’re praying for her and really hope that she gets more information.

I’m sure something funny happened this week, but I just can’t remember a specific thing.
We did go to the Oquirrh Mountain Temple Dedication. That was really good. We went to the last session and got to hear President Monson talk on a somewhat less formal level than he normally does with conference. He talked about how he met M. Russell Ballard, and a lot of stories, one where he was visiting the people in East Germany before the wall went down, and they really wanted a temple, one family had at least 12 pictures of temples in their front room. When a request was put in to the government to build a temple, the government replied, “We’ve watched you all these years, and we trust you. Permission is granted for everything you’ve requested.” It was made even more special because my companion is from Germany, even if she is from the West side rather than the East.He also really emphasized making sure we have room for Christ. He said we have rooms for Eating, rooms for sleeping, rooms for entertainment, but do we have room for Christ? Even though I’m on my mission, it still hit home, because sometimes we get so busy with things here that we forget to really focus on the important things, even though most of what we’re doing is important.

So, are you all going to take a picture when you come for Jared’s baptism? And are you going to send said picture to a certain someone? :D

Any ways, much love to you all!

Be happy and all that!
