Moin moin!
Well another week is now finished and I am still here. Sorry I just realised that last sentence sounded like I almost went home or something but that is not the case. Never mind I'm moving on. I had a good week though! For P-Day last week we went to the St. Andreas Church here in Hildesheim. It has the highest steeple in Niedersachsen so that was pretty cool. That is what all the pictures are of the city from up high.
We found some new people this week. One was a man named Mr. Abbas. He is from Lebanon and is Muslim. He already had a Book of Mormon and has read it all the way through. He said he still likes the Koran more but we'll see if we can't change that:) We commited him to pray and ask God if the BoM is true or not. We will follow up with him this week.
We also met a guy on the street named Alexis. He is younger and said something that we have never heard before when stopping people: "Sure. When and where?" Haha we have gotten so used to rejection that we almost didn't know where to go once he said that he would meet with us. We got his number and gave him a card and we will try meet with him this week.
We met with Stavros last week as well and he is doing well. We will meet with him again tonight too so that should be good.
Our appointment with Herr Thunert fell out yesterday too. Were not really sure what happened either. He wasn't home and didn't answer when we called him. Hopefully everything is OK.
We finally met with Melody, the gypsy lady as well. We walked in and she immediately started apologising and saying that she had read in her Bible and it told her that she isn't allowed to believe in Mormon. I told her that it's OK because we don't believe in Mormon either, at least as a God. She was confused but we explained the Book of Mormon again and now she is excited to read it and ask God if it is true. She has a lot of potential so we are looking forward to next week when we have our next app with her.
As far as the Family History thing goes with pictures and stuff we are just trying to fill out the "My Family" booklet thing. We need the following info:
Direct Ancestors (Parents, Grandparents, Great-Grandparents)
Birth Date / Place
Death Date / Place
Marriage Date / Place
Pictures
Short stories or memories about them
Other close indirect ancestors (Aunts, Uncles, Great-Aunts, Great-Uncles)
Birth Date / Place
Death Date / Place
A lot of that info I can get from FamilySearch but the pictures for living people is where I will need your help. Some stories would be nice as well:)
Haha I have kind of a dumb request so please feel free to decline;) I was thinking about my missionary plaque when you mentioned it and I'm not sure if it's too expensive but if you could change the scripture on it to a quote from Skyrim.
What is better - to be born good, or to overcome your evil nature through great effort?

Haha I know its weird but I have just talked to so many missionaries who have all used the same scriptures on their plaque. I tried to think of a good Star Wars quote but I couldn't think of any other than the standard too well known Yoda ones. I want to make sure that everyone knows that I'm not a part of the system. Word.
If you can arrange this I would be so happy I might cry.
I hope you all have a great week. Sorry I didn't have time to respond individually but I did read all your mail. Ich habe euch Lieb! Bis nächste Woche! Möge die Macht mit euch sein.
Smooches,

P.S Yes thats a real €100 bill and yes I am really that cool.
