Another Baptism

schwester terhaag got baptized on sunday! it was great. everything almost went perfectly. the only thing that went wrong is that someone forgot that they were suppose to give a talk so the brother who lead it gave the talk. otherwise everything was good and it was cute and wonderful.

the other 3 investigators that we got....well 2 have said that they will call us (whatever) and the other we are meeting with on wednesday.

so last saturday was Frauen Tag (woman`s day) - lamest woman`s day ever! we were in krefeld for a street preach and afterwards sister olson and i went looking for an icecream place because it was woman's day and we wanted ice cream. so we looked and looked and finally found a place that looked like they might have good ice cream. it was gross! it was like fake ice cream! and then i was eating french fries and one of the fries cut my tongue! LAME

other than that nothing new has happened. things are going good with the exception that we don't really have any investigators anymore. but we`re working on it. sister olson finally got her running shoes back and so we went jogging yesterday morning. haven't done that in a LONG time and now my legs hurt! haha but it's good we`re going to start jogging every other day.

Sister Rice

Sister Angela Rice completed her 18 month mission in Germany with Rachel and Sister Moser being her two last companions. Just so happens that she is from Bellevue - not so far away from us. So, today Rachel's parents went to hear Angela speak in her Sacrament Meeting and to meet her. It was wonderful! Angela gave me a great big hug from Rachel and we were able to visit briefly. Even though we had never actually met before , it felt we had. Rachel enjoyed serving with Sister Rice and it was an honor and a delight to be with her today! (I just wish I had remembered my camera...)

New Companion - Sister Olsen

i have just one new companion. sister olson. i love her to death! we get along SO well! and we're having tons of success. 3 new investigators already!

schwester terhaag is getting baptized on sunday after church! and her husband is baptizing her! he got the priesthood on sunday. it was so awesome! she bore her testimony in sacrament meeting... and she was like glowing when she was done with her interview. that's right! the church is awesome!

we haven't been able to meet with the nigerian family. no update

but we have appointments with those 3 new investigators for this week. they are all pretty sweet and seem sincere. so we'll see what happens with that.

so last week was LONG. wednesday i spent the day on the train going to frankfurt...and then coming back up here. and then on friday... we did it all over again. but that was cooler because i got to meet Elder Dallin H. Oaks!!!!!!! and guess what... the AP (assistant to the president) called the day before and asked if sister olson and i would put together a musical number for the conference. so we put a group of missionaries together and practiced when we got to the church before the conference. yeah so i sang for an APOSTLE! and i had a solo!!!! we did so good it was awesome! the train rides were fun though. and really beautiful. we rode along the rhein river and there were a ton of castles along the way that i took pictures of!

i think that we're going to have a lot of success this transfer. i'm really excited and looking forward to what happens!

This photo makes me laugh.
This is Rachel's zone,
or at least it was before transfers this past week.
These are sweet, gentle missionaries
and I guess this is their
"tough guy" look.
