It's a GIRL!!!

Hallo from Wiesbaden,

 

Lots of crazy things have happened this week. The biggest changes came from our Transfer call on Saturday. Our district got COMPLETELY changed. Well, as much as it possibly could have been.

 

I knew that I would be staying in Wiesbaden when we received FIVE bags of gluten-free flour randomly from a member of the American Military ward that was returning to the states. There was no way I was trucking all of that in my suitcase (that's a lie, if I were getting transferred, I would probably cart MORE) so I knew that I would stay. :)

 

Anti-stress District Meeting

Sister Eschenmann is heading back to France.

Sister Brown has been transferred to Mannheim.

Elder Strong has been transferred to Dortmund.

 

Sister Peterson is being joined by Sister Lyman.

Elder Melanson will be joined by Elder Christensen, and he will continue with his double duty as Zone Leader and District Leader/Relief Society President.

 

And my companion?

 

I'm getting a baby!

 

And her name will be "Sister" ! :)

 

My new companion will be arriving from the MTC on Wednesday, and I will go to Frankfurt to be trained on how to train, and then I will take my brand-new missionary back to Wiesbaden on Thursday.

 

It has just been a weird, crazy week in general. Lots of really awesome appointments, and miracle moments, but I will really miss Sister Eschenmann!

 

We were visiting an elderly man in an assisted living center, who we both love dearly, and Sister Eschenmann wanted to take a picture. As she was getting her camera, he leaned over to me and said

"I'll be back. I just need to go grab my teeth."

I almost died with laughter, and embarrassment. I had not noticed until that moment that he wasn't wearing teeth!

 

My thoughts from this week.

 

All you need is love, and God's love is always the answer. :)

 

Sister Roderer
