A Visit from President Uchtdorf

Hello Family!
    This week was really awesome, guess who decided to come to
Offenbach?  President Uchtdorf =)  It was way cool to hear him speak
in German, afterwards he took the time to give everyone a handshake,
all 500+ people.  It was so cool, and he knew a bunch of the people
right by me personally, so, he gave them a hug, and I just happened to
be in the way, so, he basically got on top of me to hug his friends. I
felt more loved than them all haha. 

This week I also got to interview
someone for baptism, his name is Erik A.  He talks SO much!
Basically every question in the interview had a 30 minute answer to
it.  He was way awesome, and had a solid testimony, he just got
baptized on Saturday.  When he came up out of the water, he looked
around and then smiled SO big, it was awesome.  I talked to him
afterwards, and he couldn´t explain what he had felt, he just said
that it was right. 

Wolfgang also made it to the baptism, he said he
just wanted to jump into the water right then and there to get
baptized haha, he´s trying so hard to quit smoking, we actually had to
move his baptismal date back because he´s having troubles with it.
Hopefully I can stay and see him get baptized, we get our transfer
calls this Saturday, I´ve never stayed anywhere for more than 2
transfers, so.... this could be a first =)

    This week also had more fallen out appointments than I have ever
seen before.  Basically we planned out the most epic week ever, we
were expecting around 23 lessons.  I would like you to know, that 23
lessons is a lot haha, the mission average is 6.  Almost all of our
appointments fell out, we had 6 lessons this week haha, and 2 of them
weren´t even planned.  We called everyone the day before our
appointment to make sure they were okay, and like everyone said that
the appointment would work, until we got to there doorstep, then
something had come up and they had to cancel.  All I can say is that
it happens haha.

    Things are going good, I´m excited to see what happens for this
next transfer, I never know what to expect.  Thanks for all that you
do!
