Knee Trouble

Saturday morning I got an e-mail from Rachel. (Usually she only e-mails on Tuesdays... so I knew that something was up.) Her e-mail said... "Hey Mom! ok so yesterday morning my knee swelled up. not sure why. (it happened after she went jogging...) anyway so i called the mission doctor and he emailed me this questionaire and i just emailed it back to him. i'm emailing it to you too because maybe Dad could email it to the dr. or someone else and they could take a look at it as well. i'll be emailing pictures in a little bit. You don't need to call president or anything. i'm calling him tonight to talk to him about it so that he knows.

i'm a little worried though...my knee hasn't been this bad since before my surgery. i don't think it was even this swollen even then. i've been trying to keep off it and ice it, etc. and the terhaags dropped off some crutches for me this morning that i'm starting to use. anyway just thought i'´d let you know."

Rachel also sent a whole bunch of pictures of her knee to the mission doctor. (You can see her companion in the mirror taking the pictures.) He e-mailed her back some instructions for her treatment. In her e-mail this morning she said that she's feeling better but still has to be careful. I guess we'll be taking her to the doctor when she gets home. ♥

Street Preach

well the street preach wasn't as successful as i had hoped. we only got 5 contacts - which i shouldn't complain because sister dexheimer and i can't get any contacts on our own. one of the contacts was a fake number. the other i`m calling again on friday, another said to call back in 3 weeks, another didn't answer and the other i think the elders have.

anyway things on my end...are doing alright. sundays are hard. so sunday evening elder mccurdy and elder smith gave me a blessing. it was one of the most beautiful blessings i think i`ve ever received. i wrote down as much as i could remember with the help of my companion and the elders. i wrote it all down and mailed it home. so be checking the mail box! i`m doing a lot better now. apparently i still have more to learn... who`d have thought!

we still don't have any investigators. all we have is finding time. but it's nice and hot outside...so i`m getting tan! zone conference is this week. i`ll let you know how it goes.

Happy Day!

HAPPY DAY – I’ve been in Germany for 14 months today. Cool huh!

Well yes i’m still in MGB – but i think i’m ok with it now. We don’t really have any investigators so it's all finding time now with occasional appointments with members. But the weather is getting warmer so that makes finding time a little easier. I really hope we can have another baptism before I go home….so far it's not looking too good but miracles do happen!

I actually really love my new companion sister dexheimer! she's laid back and super sweet. she's in her 4th transfer right now so still kind of new but not really. Anyway she's willing to work hard and we get along. She's so cute! she likes to talk and tell stories. Her big thing is that she likes to re-tell movies…so I ask her to tell me about a movie that I’ve missed since being here and she tells it to me. She does a good job! Last night she told me about the new Batman movie…I think I must watch it with a boy because I will get scared. But anyway it's fun!

There's going to be a street preach here in MGB on Saturday…please pray that we can find people! It’s a great opportunity to get new investigators because our whole zone will be here singing and contacting people!
