Elder Tage Rex: Germany Frankfurt Mission

 But I passed you by Great stuff happening! We've been meeting with our 12 year old friend Dennis, and officially invited him to baptism. He and his mom are looking for and praying for a date currently, which we are super excited about! He is obsessed with Haribo gummy bears for some reason, so we bought him some as a present. If he shows up at church that is ;) We had a game night this week where we played cards, and our friend christian from Syria (who has limited German and English) taught us a game. It was kinda like hearts combined with phase 10. It was pretty fun! Sunday this week was crazy, we had a branch council afterwards (where the leaders of the congregation meet and discuss issues and how to solve them), and basically we made a plan to get members more involved with the missionaries! We've had very few meal appointments, and our connections with the members is somewhat limited, but they are trying to get us at least 2 every week so we are excited to get to know the...

  The days just be flying by New transfer started! Its a mega Long 7 week transfer, compared to the last which was only 5. We had our Kitchen remodeled this week! In Germany, kitchens are super weird because they aren't a part of the house at all actually, in fact you can take your entire kitchen with you when you move houses if you want. All of it is removable and installable, just like a desk or a wardrobe or bed would be. Because of the remodel, we couldn't use our stove or oven or anything for a couple days and had some very interesting meals. Tip: no matter how cheap the TV dinner gets, or how on sale it is, do not buy it. Especially do not buy the sausage with sauerkraut and mashed potatoes one for 2 euros. It is not worth it. We ended up cleaning the church again! We took over for an American member and he said he'd buy us some America food and asked for requests. I requested Jimmy Dean Pancake and Sausage corn dogs. We haven't gotten it yet, but I can't wait...

  From now on Pretty wild week this week. I feel like I haven't been able to say that in a while. It can only be described by one word: "squingy" We had an apartment inspection on Friday! We passed, I think. It wasn't made very clear but we didn't get kicked out so I think we are doing well enough.  The Church hadn't been cleaned yet and there were 4 baptisms planned on Saturday (2 from missionaries), so we took it upon ourselves as a district to clean the entire building, just the 6 of us. We spent most of the evening doing that, and we almost finished. Elder Evans and I, along with our branch president finished it up early Saturday morning. It was pretty fun to have a district cleaning party though! We had general conference last weekend!! It was wonderful. I learned about a lot of things I need to work on, and it was just nice to take a break from the grind and listen to the prophets and apostles speak, and feel the spirit that comes with that. We even had ...

  For the rest of your life We've got a new friend named Dennis, he likes to play tennis (he does not play tennis). He's 12 years old and his mom is a Brazilian member, and he wants to be baptized! So we said we could help with that, and hopefully within the next month or two that'll happen. We had our lesson with an American-Brazilian couple who bought a bunch of American snacks like chips and salsa, along with hostess cupcakes and Pepsi (I don't remember Pepsi being that good but suddenly it's really good). We played beyblades with Dennis, and had fun with the 4 dogs the family was dog sitting for break. It was great! Dennis also loves Mario, and I can get behind that. We taught him about the restoration, and the spirit was super strong. Dennis is awesome  . A few weeks ago we had a Russian dude randomly organize a bible study with us, and brought his daughters with him to study the bible with us and the sisters. They came again this week because we told them we c...
