Hello From Deutschland

last pday was SO much fun!!! ok so you've all seen pictures of the castle. well on the otherside of the river theres like a huge hill mountain thing and we climbed that! there were ruíns and this awesome old ampitheather thing that apparently was used by the nazis..cool huh! at the top of the mountain theres this old building thing that looks like a knight piece from chess. that thing was awesome! yeah so we spent the day hiking with our district. we're the only sisters. its fun our elders are awesome!

the language is coming. the bummer thing is, is that pretty much everyone that i talk to speaks ENGLISH! ug! 2 of our investigators we teach in english and then whenever we're at the church or around other missionaries we speak english. so i dont speak enough german to really help me get any better. thats not good! and i still dont understand it at all. its funny.

ok so we've only had like 1 eating appointment with a member. so i havent really tried the food because i cook for myself. except we did eat a restaurant last week for pday with the elders. and yesterday we were craving chinese food so we ate at a chinese place. that was good!

transportation... well we have bikes that we could use but seriously who wants to ride a bike in a skirt?! we walk mostly which works perfectly here because everything is really close. we also take the bus, bann and train alot. a bann is like a subway car thing that they have in newyork and whatever.

this sunday we met with a man named Stephan. he was contacted by the other sisters and we just like called him up to ask if he wanted a BOM. he said he did and we met with him sunday morning at the church before the men watched the priesthood session. we taught him a first (this guy we teach in german) and it went really well. hes just really searching for something. he even stayed a little bit and watched part of the priesthood session. (in the chapel they had the conference sessions in german and in the gym we had it in english). he said that he wants to come to church this next sunday! so hopefully we'll have all three investigators at church this sunday! pray that no one really wierd bares their testimony..hahaha!

ok so yesterday we met with Frau Kästle..hahaha. (she's the older Russian woman.) she LOVES me and hates sister ranzenberger!! hahaha i dont know why but everytime sister ranzenberger talks she like yells at her and whenever i speak she like smiles and just loves me. haha i think its because i brought my primary book and played songs on her keyboard. she loved it! she didnt even yell that much yesterday. so next time we visit her we're going to play the piano and sister ranzenberger is going to sing. shes definately just a service project. but we feel its a good thing to do. shes just so lonely. anyway its fun.
