A Baptismal Date and ...Carrots.

This week has been pretty good in Michelstadt. We found a former investigator and she seemed interested, but she hasn't been able to meet with us. It has been a little frustrating, but hopefully we can meet with her again. We are really looking forward for this Thursday in meeting witht the Buher Family. I can't remember if I told you about them, but they are a couple that already have a baptismal date. Elders from Darmstadt taught them, but they are technically in our area. So when Elder Hogan and I got to Michelstadt, we found out that we already had a baptismal date set up. We met them at church this last Sunday and told us to come and teach them the rest of the lessons because they are really excited to get baptized. We are pretty pumped for them, but the one snag is that they haven't been taught the commandments yet... Hopefully it all goes well. The wife had been a member previously so there shouldn't be any surprises, at least that is what we are hoping.

I was on my first split today. Elder Hogan had to go with our DL to a Leadership Conference, so I was able to come up to Darmstadt for a day. It was fun being able to be in a new area. It is as huge city compared to Michelstadt and the people are a lot more...interesting I guess would be the right word. Elder Bame and I were walking through the Fuss (which is basically a mall, but outside) and we saw two men with what seemed to be silver magic marker all over there face. They set themselves up into a corner and were setting up microphone stands and putting on acoustic guitars. The best part of it was that they had no microphones, so they decided the next best thing would be...carrots. They literally put a carrot where the microphone would go on the microphone stand and sang into those. Haha I wish I would've had my camera with me, because it was pretty weird. Oh the things you see on your mission.
