Transfers and a New Companion

Transfers: saturday night we got transfer calls. one of the APs called us and told me that i'm staying in mainz and getting sister van den berg. sunday night I got a call saying that my new companion would be sister simmons. monday morning we got another call saying that i'm getting sister davis instead. we haven't received any more calls from president yet... so i think that's how transfers are taking place tomorrow. when i found out that i was getting sister davis and i got SO excited! i love sister davis!

president ninow is a great man. i'm really grateful that he took the time to calls us and ask how we felt about things and really listened to what we had to say. apparently on sunday night he called 4 sister companionships to talk about transfers because he didn't feel right about what he had originally decided. but when i talked to him on monday he said that he felt really good about everything. what a crazy first transfer for him! not to mention for us too!

guess what! there's a castle in wiesbaden!!!! (that's where our church building is... its like a 20 min train ride) the elders found it yesterday! i'm SO excited!!!!! they said that its small... but it looks like a castle! i can't wait to go next week... i told them that they HAD to show me where it is!

bruder "M" update: no baptismal date yet but we're meeting with him tonight at the schuhs. he's been looking at the baptismal questions and he said that he doesn't feel like he has a testimony of joseph smith and the restoration. so that's what we're focusing on tonight. sister stevenson and i are going to sing Oh How Lovely Was The Morning before we start teaching. we practiced this morning (sister stevenson is singing alto) and the spirit was SO strong - i almost started crying. s o hopefully i can keep myself together when we sing it tonight.
