The Final Ride [I'm a Big Missionary Now] (week 17)

Before you all get too worried, my foot is fine. It's no longer swollen and I can walk again. Hallelujah.

Welp, I'm officially DONE with my training. I'm a big missionary now. For information about how transfer calls went, you'll have to read to the end of this email.

Last week in my email I mentioned about an investigator who we met last Saturday and who came to church last Sunday. His name is "R", and he's a punk 17-year-old from Slovakia. We met with him this week, had a bomb first lesson, and... he agreed to be baptized. He still has a ton to learn and some utilizing of the Atonement to do, but if all goes well, he'll be baptized on the 12th of July.

If I hadn't been bit by some mysterious something two weeks ago, and if my foot hadn't been swollen, then we wouldn't have left our bikes at the Hauptbahnhof, and they wouldn't have been stolen. If they wouldn't have been stolen, we wouldn't have gone to the police station, and we wouldn't have found "R".

Medicine for a swollen foot: 6.62 Euro

New bikes: 100 Euro

A soul brought unto Christ: Priceless

;)

We had to ride our borrowed bikes back 13 kilometers in the pouring rain on Saturday. We showed up at the members' house looking like something the cat dragged in. Did I mention that my comp's bike is made for a 12 year old?

OH, guess what! I gave a 10 minute talk in church yesterday. It was a farewell for one of the YW in our ward (who's going to Singapore!) soooo there were a lot of people there. And I'll have you know that I made an audience of Germans laugh. Laugh! Check that one off the list.

That's about it for this week...

Sister Stuart is heading to Leipzig tomorrow.

I'm staying in Hildesheim and getting a new companion.

She's coming from Berlin, and her name is Sister Schwantes.

Sister Schwantes trained my ever-favorite Sister Bell! And I got to talk to her on the phone the other day and it was such a wonderful reunion. :)

I'm stepping on up here this week so your prayers would be appreciated. Until then,

Sister Seamons

Yes, we are wearing normal clothes because
we played volleyball right before.
