Erin's Exceptional Errand: Christmas in Herne

This week was a pretty good week. We had transfers this week and me
and Sister Schuring are staying together! That means I get to have
Christmas here with the awesome members in Herne. It will be awesome!
This week we had some pretty fun adventures.
We learned how to call the police in Germany. That was an adventure.
We went to invite people to our ward Weihnachtsfest and a lady stopped
us and had us call the police for her. Apparently her Mann had just
hit her and ran off with her purse. Some girls helped us out and we
called the police and helped her find her Mann. So much for contacting
that night.
We also had a wWiehnachtsfeier! It was so much fun. A little weird,
but our phone didn't stop ringing the whole time! We had a whole bunch
of people show up. And most of them were invited by our investigators!
We had an Albanian table and an Indian table and a random African
table with guys that no one knew why they came, but we welcomed them
anyway. It was super fun! And stressful. But that's ok.
Yesterday after church we decided to go visit an investigator who
slept in and missed church. Her name is Sahitya and she is from India.
We got there and she had made us this huge meal! It was so good and
soooooooo much food. It made me think of Athi. She would have made us
similar food. What was funny though was that she gave us cola which
has caffeine in it and my body that has had caffeine a total of maybe
once thought that was interesting. Sitting still and focusing during
studies afterwards did not happen. :) there is a reason I don't drink
caffeine.
Also this week we set a baptismal date with Andre! He wants to read
the whole Book of Mormon first but he is already done with 2 Nephi and
who knows, maybe Jacob by now. He is way cool and really wants to make
sure he is done no the right thing. He asked us what the covenant was
that he would make when he got baptized. Looks like we need to go over
lesson three with him.
Today we were in Dortmund again at the Christmas Markt. It is so cool!
I got some cool stuff. And we just enjoyed everything in the Markt. It
is a lot cooler when it isn't raining. But because we spent so much
time in the Christmas Markt I don't have much time so.... Hope you
have a good week! Ich liebe euch!
Liebe
