I can't believe another transfer has come and gone.  Where is the time going?  We are staying together in Altona!  The whole district actually.  We're very excited.  We were pretty sure that I would be leaving, but if we stayed together, Sister Dunlap decided she wanted me to cut her hair. On Sunday she came to church with a pixie cut and everyone knew we were staying together.

Getting to church was a little crazy this week.  A lot of the city was shut down because of a marathon.  Carlos' mother was not feeling well so he went by himself, but because of the race, the buses did not run normally and he got lost, so he just went home.  Ha, next week we'll pick him up and travel with him.

I am all better and we are out working hard.  We have really enjoyed the sunny days we have had.  We have seen a lot of miracles this week.  When Sister Dunlap first got here she told me about a recent convert she knew from Berlin.  They had recently moved to our area, but had stopped coming to church because of work.  We have tried so hard to get in contact with them. This week we ran into them at the bahn stop and we exchanged numbers and we will be meeting this week.  After 11 weeks we finally found them!  

We met with a less active and her family.  We had a great lesson and the spirit was very strong.  On our way out the elevator door opened and her home teachers were there!  She let them in because she had just met with us.  Ah, I am so grateful for home and visiting teachers!

Hey Lindsey, I am getting really good at making homemade tortillas too!!  They are kind of hard to find here and they are spendy.

Great news!  I finally got my German drivers license!  Oh my goodness, I cannot begin to tell you what a process that has been, but it is finally finished.  We went to pick it up on the 1st, but in Germany May 1st is a holiday, whaa??  Ha we need a list of German holidays.  We were in the middle of Hamburg and got stuck by parade/demonstration?  Not sure which it was, we got out of there pretty quickly.

Skyping at five will be great; do you want facetime or Skype?

Also, Happy Birthday Rittos!  I can't believe he is two! Dad I hope you have a great birthday!

I love you all! Can't wait to talk with you on Saturday!
