Hey mama!!!
It was really great to see you!!! You
all look great! To clarify we found 17 potential investigators; not
investigators.
WE JUST SET A BAPTISIMAL DATE!!!! About 30
minutes ago!!!! Ja voll! It was great.. That’s the first one in Switzerland for
me!!!!! HIs name is Paul Dällenbach! He is super cool! Thank you for your great
example through my whole life!... sorry I lost my train of thought... there’s
this one missionary who does emails here and plays terrible primary songs while
we email. sorry... oh and I thought that I could Skype for an hour or so, but
then i realized that i could only skype for 40 minutes.. it was my fault for
forgetting... don’t worry about it. I loved seeing how Brian was trying to make
jokes and dad thought they were inappropriate. haha that was a great taste of
home!! haha. I love you have a great week... my schedule for every day...
I have no idea... wake up at 630, for 5
minutes, I sit there and try to wake up and then work out for 25 minutes and
eat and shower until 8, then we study. Sometimes we teach Rajeev at 830;
sometimes not. We finish up studying when we get back from Rajeev... for about
30 more minutes. (1 hour for together study, and 30 minutes for German) Sometimes
we are invited to a members house for lunch... we talk to people on the train,
and on the way to the members house... we eat there. and we talk to people on
the way back... we usually have another appointment somewhere else and we go to
that and talk to people on the trains and on the street. We also occasionally
spend about 15 or 20 minutes at home calling the people whom we talked to
earlier in the week. Then we go out on the one street and talk to some more
people. We usually eat dinner around 5 or 6 and watch a church video. Then we
go out again. We usually see a member somewhere on the street and talk to them
for a bit...
The members and the investigators are amazing,
but especially the members!!! They are like trained missionaries; so great. We
had an appointment with a less active sister Giannati and Sister Bauman, who
has been befriending her. Sister Bauman would not give up inviting her to church.
Another person who was there invited her to come in June, because it is a
special time to invite people. But sister Bauman said... yess but we would
really love it if you could come THIS Sunday... and eventually sister Giannati
said yes!!! She wants to come back to church.
Just a little taste of Zollikofen! I love you
Oh and Europe has a goal this June to bring
someone to church every week in June... I would like to invite you to do that
mama! The ward is really excited about inviting people and even before June,
there have been friends of members every week at church! Its great! Try it
out... try inviting people to church! You will have the joy it talks about it
doctrine and covenants in 18:10-15!
Love you, Jesus love us, He lives!

Hey Father!!!
That sounds like so much fun. Going to North Carolina...
are you driving? ... Oh those were great times going to the game in the z and playing
some baseball with my dad. Thanks for those memories.. I still remember when
the tornado sirens went off and I thought I would be sucked into the sky, so I
grabbed hold onto a tree. haha ... Good times.
Button down type is just fine... just at least
something that looks good when ironed and not raggedy... if that’s possible.
I love reading the scriptures, last week Sunday,
I received an impression that I should
do more with the scriptures and really try to read more, even when its just during lunch or during my couple of minutes of free time at night

I love you father... thanks for all of the great
help... oh and there was once a talk from elder Bednar about scripture
study, http://www.lds.org/media-library/video/ces-firesides?lang=eng&query=elder+bednar+patterns,+connections,+themes#2007-02-01-reservoir-of-living-water
Thats a really good talk about how to study!!!! It helped me a lot to try to get the most out of it!
