I would never want to be the hunchback of Notre Dame

My week since I last wrote you! So starts off with pday!!! We had a sisters pday and all the sisters in the zone came to köln and we climbed the Dom (the large cathedral)!! It was a LOT of stairs. But it was really fun! Just definitely wouldn't want to have to walk that everyday as a bell ringer in the olden days.
 (All the sisters in this picture aren't in our zone we just happened to run into some other sisters for a minute and had to take a picture)  Then we got ice cream and Mexican Döner. It was delicious!

Then I ended pday by starting my split with the wonderful sister Van Vleet!! There are always so many miracles and successful contacting stories on splits!! Although literally half our split was spent running for bahns and buses because of buses being late or just running out of time. We may or may not have gotten home late because of that. But we also may or may not have had a cool conversation with someone because of it. My favorite highlight from the split: we were on our train coming home and we sat by this man. He was carrying a sport bag so I asked him what he played. He said ice hockey! We ended up talking about that and then he mentioned how he was engaged and going to be married soon! I meant to say something along the lines of oh that's wonderful!!! But I accidentally shortened the word and said oh that's a wonder! Which in german means a miracle. Ha.... ha.... ha.... he gave me a very put off look and said what? But luckily I was able to save myself with the fact that I'm learning German. Just really hoping he wasn't too offended.

We had another super lucky experience this week! We were traveling on a Bus home from buying tickets because of some ticket problems we were having one morning and we get a call from one of our investigators. He is usually pretty busy and can't meet a ton. Turns out he had some time but he was in Bergisch Gladbach and we definitely weren't.. BUT as luck would have it! The bus we were on just happened to go right there!!! So we were able to go and meet him and make sure he was coming to general conference. Hahahahahaha but we show up, and he's African and has dreads. Well. HE CUT HIS HAIR!! We couldn't recognize him at first without the dreads! Not to mention that he was wearing a beanie cap with a sequine star on it........ It was hilarious :)

Then we had conference!!! Conference was awesome!!! We had an investigator stay at the church for two sessions and a member made all the missionaries, new converts, and our investigators lunch! It was so fun and it was so cool to see someone who enjoyed the words of the prophets! We also had another investigator who is soooo cool! We show up at her house and she says. Yeah I watched ALL of conference!! She loved it and

Well. Last Miracle story. We were having a hard day of no one wanting to talk to us, it made it harder because we were trying really hard to contact while traveling and on transportation. We had had no luck. But suddenly our phone rings and a potential we had contacted weeks ago called us!! I know Heavenly Father blesses us for our efforts and hard work!

I hope you all have an amazing week and enjoy spring!!
