This week was a fun one

 

Monday we had p day and we went shopping for most of the day then afterwards we had Galia's b day party. it was the 6 Magdeburg missionaries Galia Marian Rafeal and their friend Flor and her daughter Elisabeth. we had the party at the church and played pingpong fußball and air hockey. we all had a really good time.

Tuesday we had a really cool lesson with a new kid we found the week before. his name is Patrick. his parents are polish and he was born in Germany he is a student here at the university. the lesson went really well and he asked us to come back. then later we had English and German class. now we teach a German class i don't know how but we do. then afterwards we did English. One of the guys in the class wanted to know the rules. we didn't really know rules we just know don't argue with us that it is fun funnier and funniest  when all four american native speakers say its fun more fun  most fun.

Wednesday we had district meeting. I had to give a ten minute lesson in German so that was fun I'm getting better at German so its nice, I'm nowhere close to good but I'm a lot better. Then we had some lessons and a lot of street contacting.

Thursday was a hard day. we talked to a ton of people. and the ones that weren't complete jerks to us can be counted on one hand. That went for almost the whole day. Finally we found some really cool Brazilian guys, there gonna come to English class and want to learn about the church.

Friday we helped Marian get ready for his move we spent an hour there then went to Johanna. we watched a video with her and then her dad wanted to find church houses in camaroon so we got on the computer and helped him. Then we had a lesson with a member and we'll just say he is German. It was not a fun lesson at all. He argued everything I had a spiritual though consisting of two scriptures. It took 55 minutes to share because of how wrong i was. 

Saturday was all moving. marion and galia got sick of their neighbor so they complained and when the Hausmeister did nothing they moved. moving out was easy. they lived on the first floor. moving in was a completely different story. they now live in a fifth story Wohnung and the building has no elevator. we did a chain gang up one flight each but then it came to the fun stuff like the washing machine the kitchen counter-top with the sink in it all the cabinets because that's how you move in Europe. its everything in the apartment down to the light fixtures. so we fought all this up stairs. and that consumed our entire day.

Sunday we had fast and testimony meeting. (i gave mine again so thats 5 months in a row that dad owes me for. i dont care if he says they dont count because 4 of them were in German so he has no room to talk and he has to give his in sacrament.) its awesome to see how we are blessing lives. Marian got up and gave his testimony it was so cool. he said before he met with the missionaries he would have said there is no god. there are no good people in the world. but now he knows god is there and loves him he prays every day and knows. that there are good people in the world. this is why I'm here this makes it all worth it. all the bad all the people who are rude. just to see people like this and the friendships we have made with these people and the love I feel for them.

Then we went to give the sacrament to the Leroy's they came to church but left before sacrament because a lot of people were sick and sister Leroy has ms and cant get sick. when we went they told us it was Superbowl Sunday. until this point none of us had realized it. so we had a little party just us four elders. we had a ''super bowl'' (it was leftovers put in a bowl because no one invited us over to eat this week and we don't plan meals for Sunday because we always are invited to eat somewhere)  it made for a fun time.
