sister missionary probs

I hate p-day... no i lied i love p-day..

I just feel sooo weird..

Sitting at these turkish internet ladens with not

a clue of what song is playing.. 

getting trunky emails 

and not being out working 

BAH I"ve lost it haven't i?? naja

lets see.

Lets start with what i learned this week...

First,

note to self: never EVER  play the game... never have i ever.....

 with missionaries (what was I thinking)

#GO UTES

Second,

Sleeping on a bunk bed and trying to be creative with 

sleeping in different directions results in a 

COMPLETELY THROWN OUT BACK

I couldn't walk, turn my head or sit up for 3 days this week!!

Our sweet senior couple rushed over and 

poured voodoo oils all over me to help with 

the pain.. Apparently there is some HUGE

new trend with these Oderra oils?? or something

Witchcraft i tell ya... but it works..

and smells good..

I smell like a walking advertisement for Icy Hot

Third,

I learned how to use chopsticks

( upgrade from my stab technique i had prior)

Fourth,

I learned that hairspray removes ink from letters

where you didn't mean to write something in pen..

Fifth,

I learned that this work is amazing...

NOTHING NEW THERE

ahhhhhhh

Lots of weird weird encounters this week..

Things that are probably not blog worthy..

One of my favorites just to give you a sneak peek

was attempting to teach a New Members mother..

She owns a African Hair Salon called: '' Harlem '' 

We dropped by to share the good word

with her..She couldn't of been less interested in our message,

but we shared it anyways...

When we asked her how she felt about our message is all she answered:

Which one of you will marry my son?

o_O

awesome.

Well.. Our happy little Elf Dirk is doing AMAZING..

This week leading up to his receiving the Holy Ghost

Satan was working soooo hard on him..

JUST GIVE UP SATAN

Dirk remained strong and is now the newest member

of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints

wow... such a blessing. He sat down with me after

his blessing with tears streaming down his cheeks..

He turned to me and said

'' Sister Diederich... today.. my life begins ''

BLESS HIS HEART

I love being a missionary

Why did i not serve earlier!?!?!

oh wait.... 

I'm one of them 22 year old dinosaurs you use to hear about

I wish i could share more.. but this week

was VERY NORMAL and working working working

I could swamp you with boring stories about

dooring, finding, rejected referral requests, investigators playing hide and go seek etc...

but i wont..

Instead i will compile a small list of

SISTER MISSIONARY PROBLEMS

When Elders wear a loved ones Cologne

or in sister fugals case this week.... an Ex's (that is rough)

When you can't GOOGLE or PIN it.... so you 

end up trying to set up the Apartment Fan

with a can of tomato soup and a pair of scissors..

As a sister your the AUTOMATIC GO- TO for:

Mints, Tissues, Hand Sanitizer, What to buy your

girlfriend back home advice, Chorister for meetings, Baked

items, Decorating Calendars and planning events.

When your companion forgets to wear her nametag

and you walk around looking like JDUBBZ (jehovah's witnesses) all day..

When you get mistaken for a lesbian couple

At conferences meetings,, etc.. There is always

conveniently a bench saved FRONT ROW for you

by the elders.... thanks babe

After a week you run out of sweater scarf combinations

Your only outlet for decorating is ripping Ensigns apart

and gluing the pictures onto your wall

The Young Women think you toooo old and 

the Relief Society thinks your toooo young

Almost immediately following being asked

what your age is... Your asked why your not married

yet and on a mission instead

THX.

I love you all so much..

Hannover is amazing!! We are seeing

miracles.. This week we found

a new sweet young college student to 

teach! We have our first appointment

with her this Tuesday at a members home!!

The Lord is really blessing us and i couldn't be happier!!

Line of the Week:

(note: THIS IS NOT A DRILL.... REAL LIFE )

Elder: Sister Diederich... do my shoes match my eyes?

Me: .....

(I  look up and down at eyes and shoes back and forth)

Nope..

Elders Companion: Duuuudddeee she just checked you out!!!!

-_-

dont worry... hahah our Zone leader that overheard the conversation took care of it..

My Zone leader asked me how i would like my form of an apology..

I said in comic book form...

because lets face it... i don't like reading long essays..

sure enough... i got a comic book apology 

gotta love the elders
