Miracles and Adventures

GUESS WHAT!!!!!! BRUDER M IS GETTING BAPTIZED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
we set a new baptismal date last friday! he's getting baptized on September 7th - the absolute LAST day of this cycle! (did i tell you how i had the impression that sister davis and i should fast for a baptism THIS cycle? well we did...and now we have one!) what a miracle and blessing from Heavenly Father!


it's been amazing how quickly the time is going by and to see how much i'm growing! before sister stevenson left i was SO worried because i still had a hard time understanding german and i was thinking... how the heck am i going to be able to talk to everyone? but Heavenly Father has blessed me SO much these past 2 weeks! i can understand everyone that i need to! i can understand members and investigators when i talk to them... but when i'm listening to a talk or something i have a hard time understanding. it's wierd but a miracle!

i'm less stressed now - but we've been getting a lot of opposition! every day is a battle, whether i'm personally struggling with something or we have appointments that fall out or whatever. i never know what to expect when i wake up in the morning! every day is an adventure!

anyway so talk about adventures! we got on the bus to head home from church (it takes 2 buses and a train to get home) so it was the first of the 2 buses. and the bus pulls up and the driver yells at us in english to get on the bus. yeah guess what... he's drunk! he had a can of beer in his hand and drinking it while he was driving. but we had NO other way of getting to the other bus! we got off as soon as we could though. what an adventure!

oh last pday we went to the Guttenburg Museum and took a tour. most boring HOUR tour of my life! all in german. couldn't understand anything. too many people and he only took us to 3 little exhibit things! but we got to walk around the whole museum. still - boring. a t least i can say though that i've been to the guttenburg museum in mainz germany where he lived and printed things. i can't remember if he printed the bible here or not. anyway he is still a really important person! just a really boring museum.

today we're going to wiesbaden to the schloß (palace) there! actually theres 2. one at each end of a park! i'm WAY excited! i love castles! well these are a schloß...so i love palaces!!!!! (i'm the princess what i can say?) it's a little overcast and rainy. i feel right at home! ♥
