Hallo Meine Lieben -
This week we have been busy busy. Since Sis Dietz came, we have reevaluated the monthly goals and it has really helped get a grappel on what we can accomplish. The members want to meet with us again and I'm finally seeing Spring. We had Ward COnference yesterday and the chapel was overflowing. From the regular 15 people to at least 35. The excess were all the Stake visitors who'd brought their families along, but it was still great. Because Sis Rodrigues' daughter got married this week, they were still out of town and I was asked to play the piano. I played the songs the 'normal speed' which to the Germans is always 'too fast'. We sang 'Heark All Ye Nations' in the way it's meant to be sung and half the people couldn'T keep up. The Stake President stood up to speak and he talked about me playing 'flott' (briskly, lively, peppy)...which at the time I didn't know the definition for. AND, afterwards, everyone came up and said they really enjoyed the songs. It's amazing what tempo can do. No more draaaaaggggiiiiinnnngggg oooouuuutttt eeeevvveeerrryyy wwwooorrrrd.
Please let me know the status on Grandma. Hopefully she'll recover enough to go home. Being cooped up and not feeling well is no fun....believe me...I spent three and a half weeks straight in the apt due to a flu virus. How is Christina Mabry doing? Has she had the baby yet?
I'm excited for the Easter surprise and to clear something up...I LOVE m&ms...please send more!!! I was just teasing about the fact that that was the only thing I would receive (not that I'm ungrateful). I didn't realize how much I like m&ms until you're in a famine-infested life and someone sends you a water bottle. It's great!! Sis Dietz brought a Swiss Chocolate bar that we pretty much devoured before the wrapper was even off.
Franziska called us Sunday morning to tell us not to worry, but she wasn't coming to church. When I asked her if she was sick, she said no, but that she would be fine. Sis Dietz called her today and she was so grateful that we called and that many of the members called her yesterday to see if she was alright. She just had had a rough weekend. She is so strong and I am so excited to see her progress.
Jenny has been having a super rough time. There are porblems in her life...still. She met a guy over the internet and he turned quite inappropriate to her over the email and so now Jenny doesn'T believe in love. She is planning on just picking up and leaving Germany to move back to Puerto Rico and quitting her job without notice (just not showing up anymore). She called Schw Blaschta while we were at their house yesterday for dinner and Schw Blaschta convinced her to come to their house to stay for a couple of days. We plan on meeting with her every day. She says that if she finds an aparment, she will stay. That is our goal, to help her realize her worth and to help her in any way we can.
Allergy season is here and now I notice every blossom-filled breeze. Scratchy throat, stuffy head. Not my favorite time of year, but it's still beautiful. Sis Dietz and I plan to climb the Münster today due to the BEAUTIFUL weather.
We have Zone Conference this transfer so I'll get any mail sent to the office in München.
Love you all and wish I'd caught someone online today. Oh well! That's what happens when there's a time difference.
Alles Liebe
SISTER CHOCOLATE
