This week was awesome!! Being a missionary is seriously amazing! First things... AMIR!!!!! Oh my goodness he is amazing!! Amazing doesn't even describe it!!! We taught him tithing and he loved it!! We get nervous sometimes teaching people about tithing but he said that is makes sense and it's the least he could do!!! Then president came down for his Muslim interview and asked if he's been taught everything for the bap questions and we said technically but we didn't know how he would answer them and he said he would ask anyway to see what we should focus on AND HE DID AMAZING!!!! President said he's never talked to a Muslim that has been more converted than Amir and that he has an amazing testimony and will be an amazing member!!! Guys I just want all of you to meet Amir!!! He's seriously awesome!!!!
My contacting story for the week.. So we were contacting the other day and it wasn't going very well and it was cold and raining so no one wanted to listen to us on the street and it was just not a good contacting day and people weren't in the mood to listen to us on the Bons, but then I noticed this guy and I thought why not one more! What's the worst that could happen! So I went up to him and asked if he has seen the Because He Lived video and he said yes! I was a little
surprised and thought maybe he didn't understand me so I asked again and he said, "ya about Jesus"! And I got super happy and was like ya!!! And we started talking and turns out that when he was 19 his uncle met missionaries and had them over once while he was there in Africa... and he loved what they said! When he moved to Germany a little later he found some more and met with them and everything but had to go away for a little and lost contact with the church but had been looking for a way to get a hold of them but finally gave up!! But then I just walked up to him!!! He's so excited!!! His name is Steven!!!
So we have a family in our ward the fockers!!!! And we went over for a dinner appointment and told sister Carroll I was so excited cause I'm going to "meet the Fockers" but she didn't get it so it wasn't as funny to her but I laughed for a straight 3 and half minutes!!!! Hahaha
I figured out a new way of Bon contacting!!!! I was standing in the Bon and it started moving and I wasn't ready and I stubbed... and tripped... and fell on someone and said something really danglish on accident... and he started talking to me and we ended up talking a lot about the
church! He's not super interested! He's happy with his Muslim ways but he's super nice and a cute old man!! It was awesome!!! But I also learned that teenage Muslim boys don't care much about religion!! I started talking to one cause he had an American hat and just talked and I gave him a meet the Mormons card and I guess it had
our number on it cause we got a call that night and he said in very broken English "I'm guy with toll cap.. I want to go on date with you ya?" So we had to explain why we are here again haha!!!
Oh my goodness tell amberlynn to email me!!!!! I miss her!!!!
I'm glad your home safe!!!! Sorry the plan ride sucked!! But I bet the family is super happy your home!!! I'm glad everyone is good!!! That cool it's almost spring break there!! That's weird cause I'm still FREEZING here haha!!!! It's should start warming up soon though!! I
love you all and will talk to you soon!!!
Sister Baker!!
