As far as missionary work goes! On Friday we had an appointment with two of my favorite members in the area and i did not want to miss out on a possibly last appointment with the, because of elder Moons butt!! So the Herne Elders helped us out and we did a little power split so we were able to make it to that appointment. After that elder moon and I were at the apartment the rest of the day, getting in studies and all that.
On Saturday, it was pretty much a repeat of the day before. Elder Moon was asked to still stay in the apartment. He was givin the ok to have food that was only light on his stomach so we had some really good enchiladas. They were delicious as heck, but it set elder moon back to square one!!! Haha disappointingly he didn't break his streak of 25 the day before, i think it was only like 10 or so, but come Sunday he was a lot better. Oh and the last thing about Saturday that I forgot!! It was transfer call day. President hit us up in the morning and released me as district leader and that was the only BIG news. Then later that night we got another call about if we were leaving or staying and all that. They told elder moon he would be getting a new companion and that I would be white-washing an area with another elder in Köln (Cologne)!!!! Holy crap I was nervous as heck!!! Btw white-washing just means you go into the apartment but the last missionaries there leave... so pretty much the elder I'm going to be with (Elder Bahr) and i have no idea where we are or how to get to places or anything. Definitely wasn't expecting that phone call, but yeah Köln is pretty dope so I can't complain.
Sunday, we went to church, I said goodbye to a bunch of members and packed.
Monday, packed a little bit more, went and got elder Moons visa, set up stuff for a street display, and yeah that was it.
Tuesday, most stressful day of the week, transfer day!! I had a train that took me straight to Köln and holy cow, I was nervous as heck. Köln is the biggest city in our mission, and it's a little nerve-racking being by yourself with two heavy bags and hoping that other missionaries will be there to pick you up... which they weren't there by the way. It was cool though! I just borrowed some homies phone and called them, and they found me. We went to the apartment and Elder Bahr and i were told we had an appointment in an hour. We got to the apartment, dropped our stuff off and then headed out for our appointment. The Elders that were with us took us to where we were meeting the investigator and then they peaced out. Hahaha we just waited for this guy we never met, but eventually met him and had he decided that we would meet on Saturday with his friend because his friend can speak English and French (they are from Africa. Brothas). Which we said was cool. After that we got some Burger King for dinner because we have no food.
Wednesday we went to the city building and got stuff figured out there. We then had our studies and went finding/on an adventure in this huge city that both of us have never been to! Hahaha we got lost and decided not to look at our maps. We eventually (after 3 hours of walking) found where we needed to go and by that time we had ward council soon so we headed to the church. We got there and met with the leaders of the ward who are way cool! Elder Bahr and i introduced ourselves and we met all of them... I just said that... anyways after that we came home.
Today for pday we are going hiking
Well thanks a ton for all the emails!! Hahaha if you don't send me an email about your week then do it!! It takes like five freakin minutes!! Hahaha hope y'all have a good one! I'm very grateful to be
in this area with a missionary that wants to work! It's going to be really fun and I'm happy to always be able to go to the Lord in prayer for help and for thanks. The power of prayer is real and I know that it doesn't matter what we have done or how bad we may think we are, our Heavenly Father wants to hear from us! He loves and misses us!
Have a dope week, I'll hit y'all up next week!!
