Easter was so much fun! These wonderful American members invited all of the missionaries to their house to watch the Saterday Afternoon and Sunday Morning Sessions. (the German Sisters couldn't come, they already had arrangments.) We had an Easter Egg Hunt, and they even set up baskets for us. Inbetween Sessions, we played bored/card games. Tell Dad that he would love the game Dominion. The entire time we played it, I thought, "Dad would love this." It's a stratagy game with multiple ways to get victory points. We also had a Nurf Gun war. Sister Brown totally won. We played a German Easter game too. It's called splay. What you do, is you take a hard boiled egg, and two people slide their eggs across the table at each other. Whoevers egg cracks looses. It's a fun way to break up the shells before eating them. It was so much fun, and I ate so much sugar. I'm done with chocolate for a while. The Elders also discovered that if you lick the outside of a Robin Egg, you can put it on your lips like lip gloss.
We watched the Saterday Morning Session at this sweet older couples house Saterday evening. (The sessions aired in Germany at 6pm and 10 pm. The Priesthood Session was at 2am.) That was a much calmer setting and it was so much fun listening to their stories.
What Germans do for Easter, is close everything from Friday to Monday. Nothing's open. They also hang plastic eggs on trees and bushes. They don't have the plastic eggs that open up, so they do what we do and hunt for their basket full of goodies.
Transfer Calls were Saterday morning. There will temporarily be no more American Elders in the Wiesbaden area. I don't know why, but that's what happened. So, in our area, there will be four Sisters and Two Elders. When does that happen?
They also made some anouncments. Elder Bednar will be coming to our mission on the 24 of April, and he will be talking to us about how to use technology in our missionary work. Then we will be getting mobile devieces. I'm not sure about details about that or anything, because everyone was freaking out. President Stoddard also only used the term mobile devieces.
I also had a conversation with some Jehovas Witness missionaries. It was good. We didn't try to bash each other, just listen to the others believes. They even asked us about what we believe about the Second Coming. It was almost all in German too. One of them starting speaking English when they found out we're from America, but the rest was all auf Deutsch. And I understood most of what was said! That was fun.
That's all for this week. I hope you all had a fantastic Easter.
Love you,
Rachel
