The Week of Baptismal Dates - 5/19/14

So uh...this week, we set 2 more baptismal dates...which gives us a grand total of 3!!! Take that, Satan! Can't stop us now! Bwahahaa. What a great way to start out the email for the week...I just couldn't help it, we were so excited!

We had Zone Training Meeting this week, and it was quite fun. I never knew that I could mess someone up in a role play so bad before...my bad. Role plays can be quite entertaining...when you play the character of yourself as a non-member...haha. Let's just say, this poor Elder didn't know what was coming when he tried to practice street contacting! Bwahaha. So. Funny.

We played some good basketball with some like...proffies this week. Well, Sister Schmidt did. I played soccer with some kids, they were definitely better than me and I need soccer shoes...ASAP! All the little 10 years olds were like, those are running shoes not soccer shoes! (awkward)

We finally had our Ward Mission Council! Sweet! Our new Ward Mission Leader is super cool! Let's just say...that some missionaries do fall asleep in those meetings...and it wasn't me! :D

We are teaching some members how to speak German, (because they are not German, obviously) and that is pretty fun. Sometimes hard, I appreciate my German teachers so much more right now.

Had a great time trying to get to our eating appointment on Sunday...let's just say there was a demonstration and lots of police. Aka, the tram got searched and then we had to get out and walk to the appt. through the sea of police. Funnnn. Crazy. But the appointment went well! So, yeahhhh! No worries, no one got hurt.

and as always, keep up the good missonary work and someone PLEASE let me know your cool experiences with mission work! (it can be with in the ward, outside the ward, with families, whatever!)

LOVE

EMAIL OF THE WEEK - 5/12/14

BWAHAHAHA, once again, it is I, the only Sister in Germany that you get an email from. Or...actually, I don't know, do you get any other emails from missionaries in Germany?

Well, we said goodbye and hello to friends this week. We received a new Elder fresh from the MTC this week. He should be good for our District Leader, he will teach him English...(wait, I thought this was a German speaking mission! Nah, he already speaks German, English is next! :D)

We had some great things happen this week, for exmaple we TOTALLY got more joint teaches this week than other lessons. In fact, we basically DOUBLE our joint teaches! (Take that, Satan!!!)

We had some great experiences with other missionaries, aka, we helped each other find people to teach! That is what I call TEAMWORK. TEAM LEIPZIG!!!!!! That is dang straight.

We even had one of our Romanian investigators come to the Book of Mormon class, ooo, moving up in the big leagues!!

So you know how they give stuff to all moms on moms day? Well...the little kids gave me a flower and my investigator laughed at me because that apparently makes me a mom. That and the neice from my mission president was all...'ohhhh do I need to tell my unlce something!?' Haha, real funny. Then I gave my flower away. Phew!

I LOVE YOU ALL.This week should be legit because...we are inviting lots of people to be baptized because there are so many prepared people! Watch out Leipzig, you gonna done be baptized!!

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE

The week of weeks - 5/5/14

Well this week...you know just went to the Zoo and ate African food and went insane playing soccer!

We found lots of people this week, and got a Quar'an this week. Hahaha. We traded it for a Book of Mormon. This should be a fun family to teach. We have many simliar beliefs.

So...get this. We show up at our appt. with our Romanian investigators...they invite us in. There are TONS of new people in there, they talk with us, they read with us, and then they are all like, hey, why don't you stay for lunch? Sit down! Here is some food! That was very nice of them! I love investigators like that, plus they listen to us! It is so great!

We also played some hard core soccer and basketball, too. This is the best way to find, I am telling you. You have to try it out! You get some of the best contacts!

We also did a service project, painting a garden fence! Yeah! That was fun! And then we were given lunch! Best part of service is food. Wait, the best part of everything is food! Amen! SERVICE IS FUN. Okay, seriously though. 

Church. Oh man! WE HAD 3 PEOPLE AT CHURCH!!! One in Poland, one in our ward, and one in ward two! My goodness! IT'S A MIRACLE!!! We have been trying to get these people for weeks! WEEKS! more like MONTHS. But now! They are heading down the road to righteousness! So excited!

I hope you enjoy these pictures at the zoo and us on the way to Soccer in Delitzsch with our member!

Alles gute! Happy Star Wars Day (yesterday) And happy May 5th, see you on Sunday!

Sermon on the Mount - 4/28/14

So...you know the Sermon on the Mount where Jesus just teaches people in the outdoors and stuff...we had a similar experience like that this week. We met this Romanian guy...while teaching someone else and he said he would bring all his friends the next day...

so we show up at this park and BOOM over 20 Romanians there ready to talk to us. We had 3 copies of the BoM and they started reading immediately and passing it around and listening to whatever we had to say. This looks promising. We even had two prayer circles in the middle of the park! MEINE GUTE!! It was super legit and i am pretty sure everyone is jealous now. After that, we even played fußball with them! Of course...we lost, only by 2...haha, but it was fun and funny, and I think I am getting better and faster at soccer...too bad I have the wrong shoes for it. Shoes make all the difference in EVERYTHING. Don't believe me? Try wearing church shoes all day while you proselyte, then tell me shoes don't make a difference. :P

Other than that, we had a great week teaching people, finding people, studying outside so we can be brown and such....haha. But really.

Today, we went to the Leipzig zoo! It was super cool! I will send some pictures next week, I forgot my camera cord...again. Whatever. But the ZOO. Was cool, saw some cool things like...penguins, lions, RED PANDAS. I really want a Red Panda...like the one on Legend of Korra. That would be really cool! Red Pandas are SUPER COOL.  

Anywho, I hope you all have been studying Preach My Gospel and learning lots, I cannot wait to hear from you!

PS Football, fußball, and basketball are the best ways to find new people and friends! Be brave and go outside your circle! LOVE YOU ALL!!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO EVERYONE IN APRIL BECAUSE THERE ARE SO MANY BIRTHDAYS IN APRIL.

See you at Mother's Day, next week!

Love
