Welcome to America :) - August 10, 2015

Well, hello, there friends!

I'm just gonna get right into the stories, because there are some funny ones this week.

So, last week was my birthday. We had a sport party in Gelsenkirchen (a city not far away from Essen). It was really fun. And hot. I think it was in the 90s or something. But, it was fun. We played kick ball, volleyball, Frisbee, and a little bit of soccer. It was the Essen, Oberhausen, and Gelsenkirchen areas, with 4 missionaries from each area. Sister Pettitt and I were the only sisters there, but it was still fun. They embarrassed me and sang happy birthday with candles. There was no cake, but we had brownies and they were really yummy, and it was really fun.

Tuesday, we had DDM, and everyone gave themes. We talked about the Plan of Salvation, and everyone’s themes were different. It was really cool.

Wednesday was an adventure. We had 2 appointments back to back, then a couple hours, and another appointment, Gemeinde Abend, and then had to leave to overnight in Dortmund, had to grab my 3 ridiculously heavy suitcases, and other stuff. And it was ridiculously hot. But it was fun.

Thursday was all travel. Up at 5:30; 6:30 travel to Bahnhof, then a 3 hour EC ride, an umsteig/ trains transfer, another 45 minutes, and Frankfurt main station, and transfer companions, then waiting, and heading to Wiesbaden. AND. I lost a suitcase. Thankfully, it was just my case that had all my extra stuff in it, so I have all my clothes, and important study materials, and everything, so it's not a problem, just a little annoying -- okay, extremely annoying, and very scary. But I keep getting the feeing that everything will be okay. So, I'm not terribly worried, but still . . .

Friday. We went to the Temple with one our newly reactivated members going through for the first time. It was amazing, especially because I hadn't been to the temple in more than 3 months. It was amazing!!

Saturday, we got a mini missionary! Her name is Rebecca Blodgett. Do we know any Blodgetts?? Because I thought I recognized the name, but can't place where from.

So, those are the highlights of my week. It was pretty eventful.

Sorry this is a bad email. I'm having trouble focusing due to some members and a nonmember friend. We’re playing a game called "betrayal at the house on the hill," or something like that. It's really fun, but kind of eerie. I'll tell you more about it later.

I love you!! Have a good week!!
