Bonnie's Mission Adventure: I found two trees in the garbage!

GUTEN TAG! Hello friends and family! It's been a wondrous week in Germany. It was a little weird because of transfers and being in Frankfurt but good. It was so exciting to have the new missionaries fly in on Tuesday and not be the new meat anymore!! It was also super fun because I got to help set up and be at the new missionary street display. It was really funny watching the tired, scared, and confused missionaries try to talk to people!! It was also super cool because I had my best street display ever!!! I got two peoples numbers and gave out several Books of Mormon!!! Sadly we could only stay for an hour and a half because Sister Jenkins and I have the job of picking up all the trainers and other missionaries that are going through Hauptbahnhof (the main train station). But that was fun! We ate delicious Currywurst again and then had the coolest miracle!

Miracle: we had an awkward time in between people coming to the station and were just sitting around in the cold and sister Jenkins said: we should take a photo right now. So we did. We set up her iPad and placed it on a wall with the self timer to take a photo. Well suddenly a guy walks up to us and says: Hey! Want me to take your picture? I love taking pictures and I'm not a bad guy I won't take your camera or anything you can trust me!! Then he had us go a little walk aways to have a better background and took our picture! Then he proceeds to talk to us for HALF AN HOUR we learned all about him and he loves Christ and he took a Book of Mormon and is accepting to talk about the gospel!!! So we got his number and everything!!! It was awesome.

Also funny story about him! We called him Saturday to invite him to church. When I asked him how is day went he responds with oh it was okay. But then he pauses and suddenly says:

"Wait but I found two trees in the garbage today. It was awesome! I love trees!"

"Are you going to plant them?......." (me)

"No. they're not real trees. They're the fake kind. But God made them. God made these trees!"

It was hilarious. sister Jenkins and I were having a really hard time not laughing out loud.

Ummm oh last pday!! So we went out to Michelstadt with our district (because we got a car ride with the tech elders). We thought they just had to fix a tire on the car there. NOPE turns out the elders there are being changed to sisters. So we spent a couple hours cleaning out an apartment so that it can be semi livable for sisters. Yuck. Elders. Inside the fridge was a giant pot of chili that had only a couple bites out of it but was several weeks old. It actually turned out to be fun though. And then we checked out a palace and some Christmas shops that were in the town!! Plus the van ride was just fun.

This week we had a boy in the ward get baptized that her mom asked sister Jenkins

into teach the lessons to. So that was fun. Hahaha they asked sister Jenkins and I to sing. Luckily all the elders agreed to sing with us too. So it wasn't too scary.

Saturday night we had dinner at a members house that is about 45 min away by Sbahn. And the bahn only comes every half hour. Well we had a lesson that was really important before dinner so dinner got pushed back and so by the time we got out there, ate (really delicious food), shared a fast message, and left. It was 8:40. Well the bahn only comes every half hour and they were about 15 20 minute walk away from the station. We RAN but missed it by three minutes!!! So we had to sit in the cold for half an hour and then make a call of shame to the district and zone leaders to let them know we would be late. Hahahaha

Umm so pretty cool week. It was a little off because of transfer things going on all week but altogether good. Got some AWESOME lessons in! And got to talk to and know so many people!

Ps. Today was mission wide cleaning day. So all day was spent deep cleaning the apartment. But it felt really good to get it all cleaned!
