Week 15

HEYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!

This week was good!! We've been meeting with Desmond a lot!! He is super excited for his baptismal date and really wants to be ready but he really wants to do it on the 26th... so this Saturday! Everyone cross your fingers!! He is awesome! We taught him the plan of salvation and he thought it was so cool that he chose to come here from the beginning and chose to make the celestial kingdom his goal! He told me the other day that he is so thankful for us cause he can tell we really care about him and want him to be happy!! Him telling me that made my day!!!

So guess what!!! On Sunday Samson came to me while we were walking to church... and we were talking and he said he wants to actually be baptized this Saturday cause his birthday is this Sunday and he wants to start his new life on his birthday!!! Isn't that amazing!!! Ahh he is amazing!! I really hope we can work it out to do it by then! We have a couple things we have to make sure are okay but our fingers are crossed!!!

It was super funny cause we have to call the zone leaders and everything when we get a baptismal date and we called them... and I told them...and you could hear elder arnasen say CALLED IT!! Hahaha and they were like we knew it!!!! And they asked how we keep getting baptismal dates!!!?? So that was a confidence booster!!!

OH MY GOODNESS AMAZING STORY OF THE WEEK!!!!!!!!!!!! Soooo a couple weeks ago I was going to call an investigator and saw another name, JJ Prince, and I thought holy crap that is a rad name I want to get ahold of him!!!! So I tried to call him and it didn't work!! But I still wanted to try to get ahold of him and I looked for a progress record and couldn't find it...so I was so sad!!!  BUT sister Carroll and I were contacting and I walked up to this guy and started talking to him.  He said he used to meet with missionaries but lost contact so I told him that we would love to meet with him and continue teaching him...I got his number and asked for his name AND IT WAS JJ PRINCE!!!!!! WHAT?! I FOUND HIM!!!!!! It was so amazing!! He was confused why I was so surprised!! Haha but I'm so excited!!!!! So I'll keep you updated on him!

Amir got the priesthood this week!!!!!!! He was so excited!!! He is
seriously amazing!!!! He has been so excited all week!!!! He came up to me after he got it with a big smile on his face and was like
"Sister Baker remember when we were in McDonalds and you said that I could get the priesthood after I got baptized?? Well you were right cause now I have it!" And he was just so excited!! He makes me so happy!!!

We were playing soccer today for pday and we played with some of
our investigators and members and other missionaries! It was actually way fun!! Our investigators play on like an actual pro team here I guess and they just killed everyone... hahaha I realized how terrible I actually am at soccer!! ...and the elders both have played their whole lives and the friends people brought have also! So pretty much sister Carroll and I were the only ones who don't really play... so no one wanted us on their teams!! Hahahaha

That was probably so fun for jace and Fred to go up to Utah!!!!
Utah is so much fun!!! And what the heck?! No Colten didn't tell me he was moving to New York over the summer for work?! THATS SO FUN!!! I love New York!! And that's probably going to get him so much money!!!!
But I'm in Germany so I win!! Hahaha

Those pictures of you at top golf were so fun!!!! I love top
golf!!! I always loved going there!! I'm so good at it! I would have
definitely beat dad... No question!!!

To answer your questions... Joanna is great!!! But we just learned
since she is a foster child she can't be baptized till she is 14 which
is so sad!! Because Schwester Wohlgamuth has an older foster son and when he was younger he loved going to church and wanted to get baptized but he had to wait till he was 14 also and by the time he reached 14 he wasn't interested anymore and didn't want it! And I don't want that to happen to her!! But I also want to start talking to her older brother and try to get him interested again!!

We haven't met with Abu this week! He's been in Frankfurt all week and isn't getting back till Friday so that sucks! But we are still in contact with him! So that's good!!

We have been meeting with Sulay a little more!! He's been meeting with the sisters since before I got here! He's Muslim but we finally
learned yesterday that he is very confused with what he believes!!! So we are going to keep meeting with him!! He just had surgery on his face which is sad but he met with us anyway haha!! We called him apparently the day he got out of the hospital and he said he still
wanted to meet with us so we did! But we got there and he had to go back to the hospital cause something was wrong but met with us again the next day!! So it's goin good with him!!!
Well I love you all and will talk to you soon!!!!!

This is Samson!!!!!  It took me 6 1/2 minutes to make him smile!!!

This is Ike...he has an amazing story but too long to type!  So, remind me to tell you about it when we Skype.  He is my hero...other than you guys of course!!
