so basically today was kinda whack, we woke up at 6:30, and left to some awesome tourist places at like 9 or smthn- it was all cool beans until we had lunchtime.

got my period.

went to the restaurant's toilet.

change my pad.

no.

fucking.

waste bin.

i cant, and also refuse to, carry my used pad with me all day so i just put it jn the bathroom and .. left it there. it was a nasty restaurant anyway tho so its cool ... i guess

THEN

two full hours of waiting for the other people in our group to arrive.

two full hours of waiting in the burning sun, with some cold water and no food bc i didn't bring any since my bag couldn't fit all of my stuff.

then.

the colosseum.

so we're in there for a while

like what- half an hour, 45 mins max of walking on our own before hell breaks loose. thunderstorms.

lighting was striking so closely i no joke felt my heartbeat in my head- i was THAT scared (mind u im already a bit skiddish of thunder in general)

we finally get out of the colosseum and head for a local supermarket for food for tomorrow. we get some alcohol to drink as well bc well ... fun

the teachers make us return it

the cassiers are getting mad at me and i feel really- REALLY bad

i exchange the drinks for something else

and head back to the group, only to wajt for half an hour more and walk 15 more minutes to our bus

that was like 20 to 30 mins late

again

30 mins of waiting in the burning sun

we finally get back to the camping where we get some okay food, and we get some free time at the pool. twas pretty okay but not rlly special or anythin

after dinner me n some of my friends get together in my residence's garden for a drink and some chatting, a game of uno, all that jazz

Woche 57 (Aug 7 - 15, 2017) "Excitement!"

Oi.

Maili Moment:(So there was a ton of larvae on the outside garbage cans) Maili- "Did you see the larvies? I was so happy!!" Us- "Ew why!?"Maili- "I was soooo excited!!! Excitement!!!" Us- "They turn into flies! That's not good Maili...." Maili- "Yes it is, it's food for the birds!"Us- *face palm*

Last week p-day, we did a photoshoot in our dirndls with Mailis daughter then went bowling with her and her daughter. I forgot how much I love and how fun bowling is. Doesn’t sound like a big deal but for us missionaries it was.

Tuesday was interviews in Munich with Pres. Brown which were good! He's awesome and I love his enthusiasm for missionary work. After those we went with the Munich Sisters to an eating appointment with a less active named Ada. She was a professional model back in the day (I mean she modeled for Gucci and what not) and is currently a chef. She has her own cooking show in Germany. She made lunch for us so we could experience her cooking skills; filet mignon to be exact! I was in heaven talking with her about cooking and food! She is so sassy but has a good heart about the gospel. Hopefully we run into her again.

Wednesday was zone conference. Sis. LaFontaine and I, along with the zone leaders taught about how to improve our teaching/planning skills, then applying that into member missionary work. Our main focus was getting better trust between members and missionaries so investigators could be brought into appointments/friendships. Because, we always talk about as a mission how we need to go finding, then come baptisms. Yes, finding is important but from finding to baptism, there's a huge gap of something missing that helps those investigators reach the end goal of baptism and that we need to work on more. It could be a lot of things, but we felt inspired to teach about the members and working with them better. Stake president Auras came to talk to us about it too and I could really feel the spirit as he was talking. It was a good conference!

Thursday/Friday I woke up sick so we stayed in but on Friday we were able to make it out to see Susanne. We met her in a Indian restaurant, because she like the vibe it gave off?! She told us she had finished reading the whole Book of Mormon the day before! Wahnsinn! 2 months since baptism and she was finished! She loves the Book of Mormon and knows it's the Word of God. I love listening to her talk about it, because she speaks with genuine love for it and what it contains. We showed her the Restoration video which she loved, in the middle of the Indian restaurant, while eating fancy curry rice bowls. ‘Twas a good time. Came home and I slept because I was sick.

Then we went to a members house with the Elders for dinner. We had a traditional German abendbrot; bread and spread, different cheeses and meats including blood sausage and Mettwurst (raw spreadable meat for toast and my favorite now) it was delicious. Shared how the Plan of Salvation is one of the biggest examples of Gods love for us, then got some tips on how to work with Germans.

Saturday=old lady train, one of them was too sick to meet and the other was excited to play Uno with us. Before we went over, we went dooring across the street. We got to the next apartment building and I'm up to klingel, so I say a prayer before beginning and the first doorbell I click turns out to be a past investigator of the Elders, from 6 years ago! He quickly invited us up where we talked with him a bit and were able to give him some pamphlets, because he was still curious about the church. He just got busy with school so stopped meeting with the missionaries. Those english pamphlets though, I hadn't had in my bag since the last time I got the impression to put them all in my bag, then gave them all away at Neuschwanstein. And on this day I got a feeling to again put all the English ones in my backpack, so I did. Few hours later, we meet him and he wants pamphlets! Before we went dooring, I asked Sis. LaFontaine how long it had been since it had been doored and she didn't know. Turns out its been 6 years and good thing we did it or he wouldn't have been found again. Then we had a bbq with Maili and the Elders that night.

Sunday Calvin came to Church! We gave an awesome lesson on the plan of salvation which he said afterwards it all made more sense and it gave him more hope for life after this one. We were able to answer his questions about baptism and those who don't get the chance to be baptized, and he loves that we all get so many chances in the plan to hear the gospel. That night we had a games evening with a member family. So fun! We shared a thought about the Armor of God because we played a church game called the Armor of God. It was way cool to hear what their 18 yr. old son had to say about why it's important to wear the Armor and put it on each day. I could tell his parents were very proud of the testimony they heard coming from him.

Monday we went by on a member family we haven't seen in awhile. They weren't home so we went...finding! Woo. Actually, no it really was a good day of finding. We started with a prayer, then headed off to a the first house where the girlfriend of the guy living there answered. Long story short, we gave the whole first lesson, gave a book of Mormon away and got her number. It was awesome and just pumped us up for the rest of the evening. Which included A LOT of cats.

So many random cats were walking around/following us, getting asked on a double date (this person was cool actually, we shared our beliefs in afterlife which he found interesting and gave him a pamphlet though he was kinda anti organized religion), getting yelled at by a lady with a bad leg who walked down a block just to find us and yell at us, and getting sunflowers from a selbstschneiden (cut yourself) field. Came home exhausted but feeling accomplished.

Today we went to Dachau for district pday. Very very sad and solemn place is really all I can say about it...something you have to experience yourself. Something my grandpa recently sent me relates to a spiritual aspect of what I felt at Dachau... Always remember, beloved Granddaughter, ALL is in God's hands. Our God lives. Our Father in Heaven loves us, always, no matter what. If sometimes in mortality, we are obliged to go through the most trying of times.....His vision is greater than our own. He knows what we need; be it good or ill. We must trust in Him, have Faith, be submissive, be obedient.....and take joy in every small thing that we can bear to see or hear or feel; for it IS a world that is "glorious, and beautiful to behold" Love you all and I'll let you know about transfer calls that come in this saturday! Mit freundlichen Grüßen, Sister Campbell
