Germany Week 38

So I'm starting off with a blank, but I'm pretty sure this week was pretty crazy.
Let's see - Last P-day we ended up hanging out in the church for a while - since it was Easter Monday, everything was closed and we did emails in the church - so while one was writing emails, the other watched videos on the D&C DVD set, which is perty awesome, I gotta say. Mmmmk. Then we got invited to a member's Birthday party, which we went to. It was fun. M, one of our investigators was also there. But I found out yesterday that his name is spelled M. Heheh... it's funny, cuz the first letter is still the same.... ooooooook....
Tuesday.... was also quite the party. We met with this guy who was interested in Genealogy, but not the church, we had dinner with a part Member Family, who are super awesome, and we had a walk in while doing doors. On the doorstep, I just kind of said who we were, and he said, "I'm Evangelisch. (I guess english people would usually use protestant for that....anyway)" Then I said, "Oh, that's very good." And then he looked at me with surprise in his face and invited us in. He was a very friendly man, and we were able to have a nice chat and gave him a Book of Mormon.
Wednesday Elder Huber came on Tausch with me from Heide. That was a lot of Fun. I like him a lot. We visited A, a less active member, and watched "The John Tanner Story" with him. It's pretty much the best thing ever. And then we had a really good discussion. A's a super cool guy. Then he gave us a bunch of soda, because he has a friend in Denmark who can get 72 cans for just 15€. Also pretty awesome. Then we took a bus out to H (It's So awesome that he's so willing to ride his bike for over an hour to get to church, by the way), with whom we had I nice discussion about Joseph Smith's search for and discovery of the truth. He still wants to get baptized, and is very aware of the situation in Afghanistan. We're pretty sure that he's able to stay here, but we've got to make more sure of it before we proceed. After him, we just barely missed our Bus, so we were just kind of trapped at the Bus stop for an hour. So I put together a Fortschritt's Bericht (progress report), and Elder Huber quizzed me on some German words. I'd almost forgotten how awesome it is to have a native speaking companion. Then RH picked us up and took us to the M's for the Ward mission meeting thingy and Dinner. That was all really good. As we were talking about it, It was cool to see how the missionary work has really been picking up in the last several weeks. Woo hoo!
Then Thursday was Zone Conference, which was fantastic. There was a real focus on the converting power of the Book of Mormon. I'm excited to better implement that into my teaching, and really help investigators to understand the significance of it and how they can apply it.
Friday we probably did something.... ah yes. We tried by a bunch of people, and V, who we had a nice quick chat with and B were home. With B we had a nice little music jam, then we showed him the restoration video, which he got pretty excited about. But he was dissapointed that it wasn't in Polish. But glad that it was in Russian. Then he wanted to save it on his computer, and insisted that he'd be able to. So he kept it and said we could have it back next time. But he said he would have V over and they would watch it together in Russian. Which is awesome. Then that night we went to Member couples' for Dinner. It was very nice. He turns out to be an Opera Star, and they have a fancy convertible.
Saturday... I think we did something else.... We went to Rendsburg! Where we had a Strassenaustellung. It was really funny because all of the political parties had Austellungs right around us - I almost felt like we were campaigning for SPD, the people whose stand was literally within 10 feet of ours. They gave out Chocolate.... nom nom nom. I went off and just did street contacting with Elder Sowards for most of it. Afterward, we did something else missionaryish - oh yeah! we Visited F - we had a nice review of the philosophical/religious discussion that we've been having with him. It was cool, because it's the same stuff he always says, but it was more organized this time, and it really helped us see what we need to teach, and it was a really good discussion. Then we had Dinner with Schwester P. That was good too. Except when we read Enos together and my mind kind of went blank and I kind of did a terrible job of talking about it afterward. It was still nice though.
Sunday... That's yesterday, we just passed the sacrament then watched the Sunday Afternoon session of Conference. It was good. I especially liked Elder Ballard's talk. H was there with us, and he really couldn't understand it (It was also pretty hard for me to understand it with the German translation from the English... I'd keep tuning into one or the other language, and not get much of the meaning before switching) But H doesn't speak English, and his German, while pretty good couldn't keep up. After President Monson spoke, he said, "I could understand him because he spoke slowly." That made me very happy. H is so awesome.
We spent the rest of the day wandering around to contacts, talking to people in the street, and doing Weekly Planning. Looks like this next week is going to be quite the party as well.
Church is true, love y'all! Have a nice life!
