A Baptism!

Sorry for the late email! The Internet at the Church was being a butt
so I couldn't really write emails when I wanted to. This email will be
a little shorter than normal for the sake of time. This week was
pretty good though!

Last Pday we went up the the American Military base in Grafenwöhr. We
hung out with the Elders there and a member. We ate some Pizza Hut and
enjoyed free refills of Dr. Pepper. We then went to this place where
one can go and do various activities such as rock climbing, canoeing,
Frisbee golf, climb on a ropes course, paint balling, etc. Sadly, the
ropes course was closed and we couldn't really do the rock climbing,
so we did some Frisbee golf. It was a ton of fun! We pretty much went
from goal to goal through a forest. It was pretty sick. We all sucked
way bad at it, but it was worth it. We then went to this 'free-cycle'
place. It is essentially like DI, but a shack and everything is free.
It's organized and there are tons of books and cloths and toys and
cooking stuff, and random doodads. I found some American cake boxes
and jello and some syrup. I also found a really cool coin that
essentially has the 7 Day creation story on it. I'll have to send over
a photo for you guys. I also found some cool medals and a patch.

On Wednesday we met with the Lady that we helped move last week. Her
name is Susanna. We had a great lesson and she said that she would
come to Church and the Baptism the upcoming Sunday.

On Saturday we had a lesson with a potential investigator. He lives
out in the middle of nowhere. Way out in the boonies. He is also from
eat Germany, former DDR, so he has a heck of an accent. It was pretty
tough to understand him. He was really cool though. I guess we will
see what happens with him.

Sunday Beate was baptized! She was the lady who came to visit you
guys. It was at 6pm but we got there at 4pm to start filling the font
and prep stuff. Beate came early to make sure the jumpsuit fit. There
were a ton of members who showed up and they all brought tons of
treats for afterwards. Susanna also made it! She loved the baptism.
The spirit was super strong there! Beate loved it and was simply
glowing at the end of it. She will be getting confirmed this upcoming
Sunday. I had a good talk with Susanna and she says that she feels
like that Baptism is the right way to go but she wants to talk with
God about it first. She said that she felt so good there and loved the
people and all in all, had a really great experience. I was super
excited to hear that! We are excited to continue working with her in
the future. She is super prepared!

Again, sorry for the late email and throwing off the Family Home
Evening schedule hahaha! Have a great week and thanks for the emails!
