Germany Week 26

So I feel like there's really nothing super exciting that happened this week...
I/E/whatever I decided to call her got sick, but she called and rescheduled her appointment for this friday, so I'm still excited.
I had a Tausch with Elder McCallister again, he came to Bad Bentheim this time. It was a blast. We made an adventure of it. We went and looked inside some of the churches in Rheine. (Don't worry, we did missionary work too...) They were super awesome. So glad we decided to peek in. Though it always feels weird going into other people's churches as a missionary. But I love those churches so much. Then in the evening we had a delightful member lesson with the Thoms. We brought Berliners and Sis. Thom made sandwiches. It was marvelous.
Ooh! I just remembered that something actually did happen this week... It was just on Tuesday - that's like an eternity ago. So we went to Sis. A's house for our usual Tuesday eating appointment, and she asked us to move our car to make space for a friend she had coming. As we were moving the car, said friend walked up, and had parked elsewhere. After standing and chatting awkwardly with her on the porch for a few minutes, Sis. A came and let us in again. It quickly became pretty clear that she hadn't been expecting us to also be there, nor was she particularly comfortable with it. She was very friendly though, and made good conversation, so it was an enjoyable evening even if a little weird. It turns out she was a high school friend of Sis A's, and this was their first meeting since finding each other on facebook. We ate dinner, gave a spiritual thought, and explained the Book of Mormon a bit before we left. I feel like I maybe could've done more, but I definitely got the impression she was only listening to us to be polite. So then we left to let the two of them catch up.
Well, I believe that's all I'll write for this week. I hope you have a beautiful one. I know this is God's work, and I'm glad to be a part of it.
