The Life of a Missionary

please pray for bruder "M"!!!!!!!!!! he told us that he's worried that he's going to drink coffee this upcoming weekend. he makes it sound like his friends are going to shove it down his throat. i WANT to say... bruder "M", you're like 40 years old. no one is shoving the coffee down your throat. and i'm pretty sure your friends will still like you even if you don't drink coffee. patience.... i'm still learning patience. he's getting really excited for his baptism. the ward is awesome with him. someone invited him to a FHE group that they have and he asked us about it and we said that we didn't know anything about it and we weren't going. he looked pretty happy that we had no idea about it and that the ward asked him without us asking them. it's awesome.

sister davis is off crutches. we're still a little slow walking but getting a little faster everyday. we get transfer calls a week from this saturday. i have a feeling that i'm staying. i kind of want to go though. not that i don't love mainz because i do and i love the ward and stuff. i just don't know how much longer my patience can go... but it'll go as long as Heavenly Father needs it to. but Heavenly Father has been kind to both of us and has been answering my prayers and this week was a little better. it was nice having sister barnhart with us for a day.

anyway the weather here is cold! it's august for heaven sakes! where's the sun!?! i've started pulling my sweaters out and wearing them with scarfs. i don't want to wear nylons again.

we watched the movie hercules last week with our elders... that is an awkward movie to watch with elders! i had forgotten how flirty the girl character was! everything she said was like in this trying to be sexy voice and sister davis and i almost died! hahaha it was so funny and also really awkward! i still love the movie though...just not with elders. i've realized how many awkward situations i go through every day. pretty much everything i do is socially awkward. sister ranzenberger would always say that she now thrives on awkward situations. it's so true! but hey it's the life of a missionary.
