P-day Sister Cluff and I got invited to go bowling with the Elders and a wenige aktiv in their ward. We were cleaning before we headed out, I thought I would deep clean the bathroom. The drains were so clogged so what did I do... I became PLUMMER MAN!! Got my gloves on and went to work. You would not even imagaine the things I pulled out that shower drain!!! I am pretty sure it had not been cleaned out since 1830-when they bought the apartment for missionary work... (haha okay not really...) But seriously PEOPLE! it was NASTY!!! So after I had deafeated the terror drain of all times I looked over and saw the sink drian. I thought... man that probably is relly nasty too. I am going to clean that out. Well what I did not know (because I have never cleaned out a drain in all my life... THANKS DAD for always doing that...) is that the sink drain connects to that big silver pipe underneath it... So as I unscrewed the top ALL of it came tummbling down and all the sudden water was shooting EVERYWHERE and there was the nastiest poop looking stuff spread all over the floor!! (the floor i had already cleaned). I burst into laughter and sister cluff came in to see me. Holding part of the sink in mu hand... it rocked!!!!
Sister Cluff and I have had bikes sitting in our keller for EWIGKEIT and the only thing stopping me from forcing Sister Cluff on those bikes was a lack of a helmet..... so we bought one right when we got home. IT HAS FLAMES ON IT!!!!! we are so legit. So we ride down to the church while flashing everyone because skirts are really fun to ride bikes in and have a really nice lesson with a wenige aktiv from the Ivory Coast in Afrika. Afterwards, I pulled out the tire pumps to get some more air into the wheels before I left.... and instead of pumping air into the tires, the pump let all of the air out. So we were stranded down at the church, past curfew calling our district leader about how to use a german bike pump.Sister Cluff was about ready to burtst because I had made such a big fuss about how much FUN riding Bikes would be and then BOOM! No Air in the tire. I started laughing so hard I could not even contain myself. I had to hand the phone over to sister cluff cause I could not even talk to our district leader I was laughing like a hyena!! Basically i was delirious and on the ground laughing THE WHOLE TIME. Our district leader, bless his heart, puts up with alot. So we ended up having to just leave our bikes at the church and walk home... because GERMAN BIKE PUMPS ROCK!
TUESDAY, Br. Wieckenberg and Manu ( a JAE (YSA) in our ward) bring over a desk to our apartmant so that I don't have to use a kitchen table for a desk anymore. While they are there we ask them to fix our light fixture that has been broken since before the dawn of time. Br. Wieckenberg drops the glass disk that goes over the light bulb as he is trying to screw it in, onto the floor and it EXPLODES into thousand of tiny sharp shards of glass, all over the carpet. So instead of study time we got to vacuum! And we are still finding glass all over the apartment haha. It is like an ester egg hunt everyday, except the egg is a shard of glass and you find it in your foot. So it is really easy. :) We had a lesson with Herr Sultani and Afshen and watched the Testmants. THEY LOVED IT! They have never seen it before and Herr Sultani started singing the Hallelujiah song when Jesus comes down. It was so cute.
WEDNESDAY, we had zone training meeting. President was there, so it was a party. It was actually one of the best we have had! Our district did a musical number, we sang Abide With Me in German and there was lots of harmonizing and it was very beautiful :) Afterwards we stopped by for our appointment with Marc Buckley (the man we got a referall for) We were really nervous and had no idea how it was going to go. We decided we would do our best to get to know them and try and get in a lesson that fit their needs best, if they would even let us. We got there, he is american, from Salt Lake City. His wife is German and his son was visiting from America for the Summer. They let us teach in English!!! BOOYAH!!! We found out Marc used to be a member and has a daughter on a mission in LA. She made him promise to try taking the first missionary lesson with his wife and to see how things went. (She isn't a member) So we gave the first lesson and invited the whole family to read in the book of Mormon and pray together as a family. They accepted!! It is so incredible to be the missionary, knowing their is another missionary in LA (his daughter) doing the exact same thing we are doing and that she is praying soo fervently that her father will accept the gospel again. They are such a special family and I can not wait to see what happens.
Thursday was awesome. Sister Cluff and I went to go help an older man in our ward move into a new apartment. He has cancer and a lot of other health issues and can't do much, but he had to be there with us to organize his things. He couldn't lift boxes and things to take them over to the new apartment, so we had to have him stay at his old apartment while we took things right across the street to his new apartment. He can't stay alone in case he falls down, so we had this brilliant idea to ask a neighbor to stay with him while we were gone for a few minutes. So we go next door and Sister cluff knocks on the door and this crazy old lady opens the door. The second the door opens my eyes go wide and I think my jaw it the floor...yes... the LADY had NO pants on. She was a jolly woman, jolly like Santa Clause and has no pants on. Meanwhile sister Cluff is explaining the situation to her and had no idea what was going on. I tried to get sister cluff to stop asking her... thinking poor Br. Wölfl (the man we were helping), but she did not get the hints I was throwing at her. Trying to stop myself from falling to th efloor in laughter I excused my self and Sister cluff left the door to go get Br. Wölfl. As she was leaving the door I saw her eyes widen... that was when I knew she had seen that I had seen... Do you see what I see...
Poor Br. Wölfl we had to leave him with this psycho old lady. I am sure he was terrified.Luckily he is so nice and went in while we left. However I am pretty sure he stayed there until we turned the corner to leave and then ran back to his apartment, because when we got there he was sitting in his apartment alone! we both knew EXACTLY why he had not stayed...
Friday we rode our bikes all day! Yes, We fixed them and it was PURE BLISS!!! Sister Cluff is very little and had a hard time riding sometimes...but we just kept putting along... I was LOVING EVERY SECOND OF IT! We had an eating appointment that we road them to and we parked them outside their house in some bushes so we could lock them to a fence. The whole appointment our legs were itchy and felt like they got stung by an insect.I was a little concerned but sister cluff seemed to be fine with stinging bubbling legs... Afterwards we realised there was some kind of venomous german plant that attacked our legs! That ROCKS! So we had some really cool skin rashes. We were so proud of them. We were also able to use it as an excuse for icecream! :) heehee It was perfect!!! (Don't worry mom... my legs are back to being rash free... no need to worry).
Saturday we got Tschussed by an investigator. Meaning they told us they did not want to meet with us anymore. That was really heartbreaking.It was hard for me. They have a little boy with austism that plays the Ukelele!! I had gotten Uk chords from katie last week to play I am a Child of God for him. I was really sad. They tried to give back their Book of Mormon, but we wouldn't take it. We told them to hold onto it, as a gift from us. Hopefully one day they will change their mind and give it another try.I know they will!
Sunday we went over to the Timms home for our eating appointment. They are this crazy old couple. They are SO funny. They have the BIGGEST HOUSE we have seen in GErmany, and it is filled with the creepiest statues and rocking horses. I would not want to be there at night...
AND Guess what they fed us for dinner???? Cake! NASTY GERMAN Cheese cake, and apple cake. It was really healthy! The whole time schw. Timm was going on about how important it is to be healthy (she is a health nut) and saying how she was just going to eat fruit and that when you eat too much cake you get fat and then cancer and then you die, all while she was eating cake crumbs as she served everyone cake. She ended up eating the cake crumbs off of sister cluffs plate! Sister Cluff and I just about LOST IT! It was so funny. They also wanted to feed us some raspberries they got fresh from the market, which somehow ended up in the oven. They seemed really surprised about that. The whole house smelled like burnt raspberries. Which to be honest is actually a really nice smell. They should make a candle for it someday. Br. Timm is realy cool, he is a construction engineer and designed the big football stadium here in Hamburg. So, we met a celebrity basically. He also thanked us for saving him from Hitler. We told him 'You're welcome' :) THREE CHEERS FOR THE RED, WHITE, and BLUE!
Well that was our week. It was quite spectacular. OH! This is the last week for this transfer! So we will be getting transfer calls on FRIDAY! AHHHH! SIster Cluff feels that she is leaving again to train.On Wednesday when president was telling us that he needed 9 new trainers he looked right into her soul... So basically she is leaving... which we are SOOOO sad about.I love her and she loves me... We are basically just one big happy family.
WE SHALL SEE!!!!
