Week 73: oh the omas

Image
  Another great week here in Deutschland! I got to eat some rotten fruit, and fruit salad, got my weekly dose of cat hair, and every single one of our appointments was with German Omas so get ready haha.    Wednesday we tried to go help an old lady clean her house, but after some not complete directions and a whole lot of yelling, it didn't work out. While we were at the banhof waiting for her, this sweet old lady came up to us, we both thought she was the lady we were supposed to be helping so we walked up to her. She greeted us with the kindest smile, saw that our tags said Jesu Christi, and gave us the biggest hug. Then she went and got her newspaper and left. She definitely was NOT the lady we were looking for, but definitely was the reason we were there.  Saturday we went street-finding and I was just not feeling it. It was hot, I hadn't slept too well, and I just felt tired. I walked into it giving myself a pep talk tho and thinking to myself you only have 4 mo...

Week 72: Spinnen als Haustiere?

 A pretty good week out here.  I didn't  have to lick any rocks so that was a bonus. I am however dying of heat tho so I don't know which one is worse. Be grateful for ac brothers and sisters. This week I am grateful for 5 guys because it is the only place we found that actually had ac so shoutout to America. Also, I decided being allergic to cats is a mindset and that I'm not allergic anymore. I also think I'm going to be immune to them by all the cat hair I eat here, there is only so many you can secretly pick off. I found out this week that my comp is deathly afraid of bugs. Also found out that our fun cat lady likes spiders in her house and to NOT kill them.. that may be worse than telling her you don't like cats which I may or may not have done. Hopefully, I played it off good by blaming it on my allergies because I got the meanest look and I thought for sure I was gonna get kicked out (which I admittedly don't think I'd be too mad about)... sorry those...

Week 71: the beginning of the end

  Down to the last transfer! Not gonna lie it doesn't seem real yet so that's good haha. I'm not looking forward to the day when it actually hits me...   Munich 1 is an interesting place... let's just say I'm gonna have some good stories here. I think I had the weirdest member appointment of my mission yesterday.. we walked in and this apartment was just covered in cat hair... we all know my strong dislike for cats and IDK what God is trying to do to me but ya rough. My allergies just went off and I think I sneezed a total of like 80 times... we sat down for dinner and she looks at my companion and the other elder that have been here and asks them if they think we're ready for the ritual. My mind at this point was going everywhere thinking what the heck is she about to make me do. She goes on to pull out this salt crystal rock thing and explains to us that her cats love to lick this thing and that every new missionary also has to lick it to be initiated. I just ...
