Same as usual

Hello Family!
    This week was, like every week haha.  The Schweinfurt Elders had a
baptism, and there is no baptismal font in their Church, so they held
the Baptism in our Church.  We learned how important it is to plan
everything, the other Elders had not planned a thing.  They got to the
Church about 45 minutes early, the first thing one of the Elders said
was, "I have 45 minutes to write a Program."  So, he ran down to the
computer to start working on the program, then, the other Elder
started to work on his talk that he hadn´t thought about, then they
both had to decide who was going to give the other talk on the Holy
Ghost, since the baptism started in 45 minutes, the Elder writing the
Program ended up giving the talk.  Then, it was time to start, and
only 1 family was there, the Schweinfurt is on an American military
base, so they have over 100 members (That´s big in Germany haha) and
they were expecting a lot.  They started calling all the Ward Members,
and everyone thought that it started in an hour, so, we waited for an
hour....  And then only 2 more families ended up coming.  Jason still
ended up getting baptized, but, it was pretty embarrassing to see how
everything was planned.
    Other than that, this week was the same; nothing out of the usual.
    I get to go on 3 Splits with
missionaries this week, so, I´ll get to work with a lot of different
missionaries, it´ll be fun.
    Thanks for everything you guys do, you´re awesome!
