Samson got the priesthood this week at church!!!! He was so happy! He even wore a white button up shirt! He was kinda sad when he figured out that he was getting it in priesthood meeting and sister Cressler and I couldn't be there so we asked bishop and he said we could sit in and watch!!!! His smile was so big and he was so happy!!!!
After church we had gemeinde Essen and he stayed to eat and then helped clean up afterwards and got mad at me for not cleaning as much as him!! He would have never done that before! He didn't even like being in the same room as a lot of people!!! He is just part of the big ward family now and everyone loves him!!!! It's amazing to see the difference in people lives when they come closer to Christ!! He is even a great missionary!! He came to me and asked for five copies of the book of Mormon for his friends! Three English, one German and one Albanian!! Hahaha ...and we were walking somewhere all together and he totally contacts people!!!
Amir is still amazing!! He works in Essen a lot so we don't get to
meet with him as much! But he is an amazing little missionary!! He has found the Essen sisters 4 new investigators and brought a girl to
church and translated everything to Persian for her!!! Him and Samson are asking for book of Mormons left and right to give out!!
Desmond wants his baptismal date pushed back again!! Ahh he drives me crazy! Last time we met with him he told me straight up "I know the Book of Mormon is true and that Joseph smith is a prophet and everything you tell me is true and I know I will get baptized I just want to be in the right mind set" which I guess maybe makes sense! He is super stressed with school, work and his visa...and all that... but I can't get in that big head of his that baptism And the Holy Ghost can help him!!!! Ahhhh!!!!
So I got a pie shoved in my face this week... A full on real whip
cream covered stinky pie! No joke. Shahira, one of the elders investigators, made a deal with elder crossley that if he got transferred that she could shove a pie in his face! But she brought two cause sister Carroll was getting transferred also. Soshe was going to shove it in her face! So I helped her get the pies ready and made the mistake of telling Samson to hold the other one so I could video tape shahira for her! Then I wasn't paying attention AT ALL to Samson then all of a sudden he shoved the pie in MY FACE!!!!!! WHAT THE FREAKIN HECK?!? It felt so gross after!!!! But don't worry I got him back!!
So that night I got a call from a random number and they spoke
kinda bad German and he was saying he's in Bochum and wants to meet and I was like well it's 10 so can I call you tomorrow! And he was saying something that sounded like he lived in Essen so I was trying to explain how there are other missionaries in Essen and I can give them his number and they would love to meet with him!! But he just wasn't getting it so finally I was like I have to go I'll call you tomorrow! So I hung up! Then the next day he called me again and said he was in Bochum and said something about living in Essen again but when I tried to explain the other missionaries again he didn't understand so finally we were like okay we will meet in Bochum! So we met them and long story short it turns out they meant Essen food not Essen the stadt! So they were asking if they could take us out for food!! Hahaha and they spoke barely any German...only Arabic so we called Ike our Arabic speaking member and told him to tell them that we were missionaries and what we did so now we have an appointment to meet with them, and Ike, to teach them!!! We will see how that goes!!
For pday we went to Gelsinkerchin and went to this park with a
"palace" but it's not really a palace it's just a big building... A big
disappointment really! But it was a pretty building!! Haha and the
stuff around it was super pretty!! And we played football in the
park!!! So that was fun!!!
That's awesome about all the mission calls!!!! I'm so happy for
Braden!! That's so cool he's leaving so soon!! And that's cool for
Colton too!!!! And I'm happy Gage's arm is okay!!!! I love you all so much!!!!! And I'll talk to you all soon!!!!:)
Sister Baker!
