Week 12

So I tried to get on as early as possible today! This was the best I could do! But this week was awesome! We didn't do much, but we met with a lot of people! I met this guy marek! He is seriously so rad! I was walking down the street and saw this guy and he just looked awesome! He has long hair and it's half red half black and he has a gnarly beard that is also half red half black and he had great piercings on his face! So obviously I talked to him! He was so respectful and kept complementing my German (which was awesome) and he said he's not super interested but would love to learn more about our church! So we met with him and he's actually atheist, but I'm convinced that we can change his mind! He's super cool though! 

We also met Solji! I met him the same day and he's from Africa and has a super cute 6 year old daughter! He has an awesome testimony of God! But we have only met with them once so I'll keep you updated with them!

Amir is still awesome!! I was trying to explain how God is our Heavenly Father and I thought I could use my dad as an example so I was saying how I am here and my dad is in America and I can't talk to him everyday, and I miss him, but I have my Heavenly Father and I can talk to him and all that missionary stuff... and what he said back was

"oh sister baker.. If you are ever sad or miss your family, just remember you always have a brother right here!" Oh he's awesome! And he loves talking about the church! A couple days ago we met with him and Mohammad together and I asked Mohammad to be baptized and he was saying how it really dangerous for him cause you aren't allowed to leave the Muslim religion and how they have rules and Amir started saying that he felt the Christian rules make more sense and he likes them better and Mohammad got really mad and started raising is voice and was like "oh ya Amir are you God? Can you decide what rules to follow?" And they started arguing in Persian so we decided we should start meeting separate! haha ...but they are fine now and both came to

stake conference together!

We met with a referral we got and we got to his apartment building and the clingy es were broken so we didn't know how to get in (I told Sister Carroll I would boost her up and she could go through the open window but she didn't like that idea) so we got these guys with their window open to let us in! And three doors later we found the kid and we knock on door and it opens and the smell of pot just engulfs us!

And he's soooooo high!! And he's like, "whaaaaatssss uuuuppppp!" And we told him who we were and how we got a referral and he was like ohhh yaaaa!! I want to learn about Joseph Smith! I believe him! And I was like oh ya! And he said ya dude cause it happened to me! And I went

with it and learned a lot about him and his future goals but he wants to meet again and promised me he wouldn't come high! So we will see how that goes haha!

Another funny story! At stake conference three speakers spoke English so they had translators and the lady that was speaking was telling a story about a swimmer! (Side note: mist in German meets poop or crap)  and she was talking about how the mist was thick and she swam through the mist and all the missionaries were trying soooo hard to not laugh!! hahahaha

I'm glad the boys are feeling better! And dad will do amazing! I want to hurry and send this so I love you so much and miss you all like crazy!!!

Love sister baker:)
