So my week was kinda slow pretty normal here in Prenzlau nothing really too special. Something cool though last tuesday we had Zone Conference which is always great to hear from President and to see all my buddies from the mtc and wherever else. Anyways on Monday the Zone Leaders assigned us to give a warm up story at Zone Conference so just a cool story to tell the rest of the missionaries to invite the spirit or bring a little excitment to the work. So My comp and I were like ok we have no cool stories really we havent found anyone super solid and so I dont know what were going to tell the missionaries. But we decided we would work monday night to see a miracle or a warm up story. So we prayed that day that it would happen and since we only have 3 hours to work on Mondays it was looking a little difficult. Anyways we were over at Elder and Sister Mcclellens house and we had them pray for us as well before we left to do work. We decided to drive down to Schwedt its the big city in our area but its like 45 minutes away so we dont get down there too much probably 1 or 2 times a week anyways so we went down there. We talke to everyone on the street and nobody really had interest we met some younger guys prob 20 or 21 and they seemed a little interested but no time to meet with us cause they work outside of Schwedt in Berlin or somewhere. Anyways it was getting late it was about 15 to 9 and we needed 45 minutes to get home and we are supposed to be home at 9 so we called our Zone Leaders and they said stay out till 9 and the one Zone Leader said I know you guys will make out an appointment and they prayed for us as well. So we said ok and we talked to a couple more people on the street and nothing we didnt make out an appointment. Than I got the idea to call a member and have her pray for us because that is how missionary work is supposed to be. So I called her and asked if she would pray for us and told her our situation and where we were at so it was good and she was excited to pray for us! She is like prob the strongest member in the branch and always helping out the missionaries she has a picture of every missionary who has served here and calls them every year for birthdays and goes to america every 4 years to visit haha so she loves the missionaries. Anyways so she prayed for us and less than 1 minute later we stopped a younger guy on his bike and talked to him he was really interested and we made out an appointment! That really shows us that missionary work is also a responsibility of the members. So help the missionaries out when you can! haha anyways the sad news of that story is that the appointment fell through. But we did get a warm up story for Zone Conference. Other than that a pretty slow week. But yesterday for P day we were able to go to Berlin. President has given us permission to go to Berlin for 1 p day a transfer. Man how I love Berlin its probably my favorite city ever its really a dream to serve there!! So many people and so many cool things!! We were able to tour the government
buildings with our branch president who is a state senator and President Pimentel and Sister Pimentel came along with us so that was really cool the Eberswalde elders and also the Mcclellens were there too. It was way awesome we toured the Reichtag which is the equivelent to the Capital in DC so that was way awesome and we went in some places where only government officials can go and normal tours can not so that was cool. So there is so much history there! It was really amazing. I took 120 pictures so I have a lot of pictures to send home! That is why I wasnt able to e mail yesterday cause our train left kinda early and we didnt have time to do e mails. and we didnt get back untill 6 and it was time to work at 6 so thats the story behind that. Anyways Berlin was awesome! Now for a funny story. So I am sure I have told you all about the Hannemans they are less active and it is only a son and the mom the son is 60 and the Mom is 88 and so he just lives with her and takes care of her and everything and he is really wierd we actually think he is probably Homo and I think he has a crush on my comp hahah he will like rub my comps head its really really wierd. Anyways the Mom is so funny she is just so old and half the time has no idea whats going on. Like one week we were making animal noises and she would try to copy them man it was funny and I always talk to her in a donald duck voice and she almost dies of a heart attack everytime cause she is laughing so hard! So last week not this last Sunday but the Sunday before I think that was the 30th of October anyways we were at there house cause we meet with them every sunday and I showed the Grandma my planner and I have a picture from Hunters baptism on my planner and its the one in front of Grandma Sondras house with the whole family so I showed her that and she loved it and said next time will you bring me a copy of that picture and I will pay for it! I will buy it from you haha so I said ya I can bring one but you dont have to pay for it! So I took a picture of the picture and printed it off and took it to her and when we got there this last week I told her hey I have a gift for you but you will have to wait untill later so we ate first and than I pulled it out and she was so excited haha she was like trying to kiss me it was a little bit wierd but she gave me a big hug and she told her son to put it in her shelf right in front of her and she said she was gonna buy a frame for it! Haha now she loves me which is funny cause I always sit by her and now she puts her hand on my leg sometimes which is a little bit awkward but what can you do haha she is 88 yrs old! Anyways that was my funny story for the week!! Nothing much is new here! Its the last week of the transfer already I cant believe how fast time goes by! I dont know if anything will change but we will see!! Cross your fingers!! Change is always good!! Anyways thanks for everything have a great week!! Love you all!!!Elder Christian J. Voran
