Es geht mir gut

Another week in Germany has now gone by. A couple weeks ago one of our investigators moved. But he came by for a visit and we ate sundaes at McDonald's and had one final goodbye lesson. 

This week I feel was definitely a week of sugar. The people and members just gave us soooo much! We visit this one old couple who the wife is in bed rest. Well he ALWAYS buys us some sort of cake or pastry. So this week he went a little overboard and gave us giant pieces of cake, pastries, and ice cream. I literally felt like I had gained twenty pounds in that one appt.....

I had a really cool experience both with prayer and music this week. We were teaching a member who has 4 kids ages 5 months, 2, 5, and 7 who is living in government housing and her husband is living someone else. She is really stressed and loves to be strengthened and nourished by the word of God. We had finished teaching and wanted to say a prayer before we left but the kids were going crazy! Everything was so hectic and two of the older kids were crying and the mom was exasperated. I quickly said a silent prayer asking Heavenly Father to help us have peace so we could say a prayer together. Right after I finished the prayer Sister Clifford leans over and says maybe we should sing a song? So we sing the family Love one another. Everything  went so still and we were able to all feel the spirit so strongly and say the prayer. 

Oh boy. Sunday. I just remembered the day that was Sunday. A Russian member in our ward randomly invited us over after church. We accepted. We go and she makes us Pfannkuchen with tons of meat and onions. She then proceeds to make us eat more and more and more. There was one left and she said we needed to eat it. Sister Clifford kindly volunteered me for it. Oh man. I. Was. So. Full. I felt awful. Not to mention how much oil was in that food. Soooo much oil. It was disgusting. Then of course we get fed ice cream. Meine Güte. Then we left and taught a less active in the ward who only last year became a widow. Then we taught a new investigator and took him for the lesson at the Bishops house. Well. Turns out the bishop and his wife were expecting to feed us. I was still not even close to recovering from lunch. But I ate my giant plate of potato salad and wursts. Oh man. My stomach literally wanted to kill me. It was awful. But the good thing is that the lessons all went REALLY well. 

We also had Zone conference this week. It was a REALLY good zone conference. The spirit was really cool there. But it was also really sad because it was the last time I would be seeing a bunch of missionaries that were my good friends from Frankfurt and that were in my very first district. They will all be flying home June 1 with  Sister Clifford. 

This upcoming week is Mother's Day and my halfway mark! Crazy how time flys. Everyone make sure to especially love your moms and give my Mom a hug for me if you see her! Also shout out because my Mom just had her birthday on Tuesday!! Happy Birthday Mom!!! 

Love,
