We are the Champions!!

Enough said.

Last night was CRAZY!  I can't even tell you. The game started after our curfew so we weren't able to watch it, but we got permission to watch it today!

We put on our jerseys and pajama pants and laid in our beds and "listened" to the game.  Between the neighbors yelling and the texts we were getting from  members we were able to follow the game pretty well.  We had pieced together  that it was going into over time and that no one had scored.  Then Germany scored. 

Sirens, yelling, music, fireworks, cheering, horns honking, bells, and all other manner of loud obnoxious noise making ensued for the next hours.  

It was crazier than New Years.  

Germany is a whole new place.  Everyone is SO happy.  We just need to hurry and bring them all the gospel before it goes away.  "Hey do you want to be this happy ALL the time?? Let us tell you about Jesus!"

What else happened this week??

um.....

We were supposed to have an appointment with a man at the church.  We waited and waited and then prayed that he would remember and come.  5 minutes later he came bouncing up the stairs.  

Prayer works!

A sister shared a story in sacrament meeting yesterday about the skaters in the east during DDR times and how people in the west would smuggle old boards in for them to use.  Who knew?

And then Germany won the world cup!

it was a good week
love you all
