Baptisms!

This week was pretty good! Sister Nieman and I did a lot of planning and deciding what to do with our investigators and Sister Nieman found out real quick that Sister Tuschling does not function very well when she is cooped up in a room for more than 4 hours at a time. She quickly learned that so now we have an aerobics ball that I sit on and a soccer ball to fiddle with haha. We have around 4 baptisms this month if all goes well!! This weekend we have 2. One of them her name is Megan and she is 9 years old and is from the American Military Ward and is a little cutie :) The other is Alicia. She just turned 16 and she has grown up in the church but her dad never allowed her to be baptized until she turned 16 so now is her chance to enter into one of the most beautiful blessings on earth; a covenant with Heavenly Father and received membership of this beautiful church! I am so happy for her! And we will be meeting with her twice this week to go over some of the baptism details and just a refresher of everything! Our main focus is on our dear sweet Louisa. She is 17 and has been looking into the church for about over a year :) My kinda girl!! Ever since last Sunday she can't stop thinking about her baptism and we will be preparing for hers very soon!! She is so rock solid that we took her with us to teach Schwester Meineke. She did awesome at making conversation and bore testimony. Oh how wonderful the gospel is :) This week we also had Zone Conference (in the gorgeous town of Heidelberg)!! It was good to see some of the missionaries again! Elder Jardine seems like he is doing really well along with Elder Sleeman. It was really uplifting and exciting because I felt like I could baptize anybody right then!! We learned a lot about ways to find and what we need to do better. Präsident Schwarz is amazing :) Every time he sees you, you instantly feel his love. Mission Präsidents are the best! He said, "The Spirit will never prompt us to do something that we cannot do." This is so true! If the Spirit is telling you to do something, you better do it because that is Heavenly Father specifically telling you to do something. When he wants something done, he ALWAYS provides a way.
