The Taufe

ok so Friday night we went to the church to meet with the ward secretary because he was going to preside over the taufe (baptism) and he wanted to see the program. so i had the program all typed for him and we went through it and he understood everything and said it was fine. then we met with bruder t and taught him our last lesson before his taufe and explained everything and finished all our last minute things. so now it’s saturday. and i swear i had planned for pretty much everything and anything to go wrong and had thought of how to overcome everything. i was very prepared and stressed. but anyway we got to the taufe early and everything was going just fine.

well.....the bruder L gets up to lead the program and announces things differently. and he skips over our musical number. what the HECK!! i could NOT believe that he switched it up like that! the bishop was even confused! but seriously i almost burst into tears when he changed everything around. i had showed him the program the night before and he didn't have any problem with it! and then to do that right then i was so upset and it was so embarassing. i had made those programs myself and then everyone was confused at the baptism and it just wasn't right. but the most important thing was how good bruder terhaag felt. and then on sunday he received the gift of the Holy Ghost in sacrament meeting. despite what happened - it was a very special weekend. now it's time to get sister t baptized! we`ll set a new date with her on thursday.

transfer calls were this weekend too. there are 21 missionaries going home and 19 coming back. i'm staying :) can you believe i've been on my mission for 13 months! on thursday i'll have been in germany for 11 months!

tomorrow we have to be in dusseldorf by 7am to leave to head to frankfurt for transfers. (sister moser is going to heidelberg - lucky!!!) so we have to leave our apartment tomorrow at 6am. but this time... we get to ride a ICE to frankfurt. they are like the fastest trains ever! they go super fast! i'm really excited. it's really expensive to ride them too. i dunno know why we get to ride one this transfer. i think it's because we have so many missionaries that need to get to frankfurt or something.

we haven't met with the nigerian sisters again yet. we had to cancel our appointment on sunday but we're hoping we can meet this sunday.
