Dear Family,

It has been a great week.  Schwarzenberg is a branch, much smaller than Lankwitz and Altona.  The members are so fantastic.  This week we have had a Genealogy Display at the church and the church has been open to the public every day from 14-18.  And this is no small display.  Schwester Richter went all out and made it look amazing! I'll send pics.

On Friday we had a Family History Devotional mostly for the members, but a few members brought friends and the neighbors came to take a look.  Schw Richter had asked the missionaries to do a musical number during it.  Surprise!  Ha, well it was for me at least.  Elder Marshall is amazing on the piano, so he played while the four of us sang “As Sisters in Zion/Army of Helaman” in German...  None of us are singers...at all....  
All I can say is that there were definitely angels singing with us, because it went really well and we could all feel the spirit.

Friday morning we rode our bikes to our serving project.  We help at an Elderly Care Center.  Ha-ha that was fun :)  At first it was a little challenging figuring out how to ride a bike in a skirt while being modest.  Don't worry, I finally figured it out!  Sister Sadler is not the biggest fan of biking, but we still practice.  We try to take the bikes up our hill or run up it every other morning for sport.  Liebe Grüße from the Thunder Thigh Sister ;) Ha-ha it's great.

Schwarzenberg is very different from Hamburg and Berlin.  It is a little more difficult to do street contacting because there are not very many people on the streets. We have been doing a lot more door to door, which is not my personal favorite, but it's great.  We are really working on finding new investigators.  Please pray for us and those we meet.

Thank you for the pictures.  It looks like you are having a great summer.  Mom, thank you so much for the package.  It got here on Tuesday.  I really appreciate it!  I'll send you pictures.  The dress looks great and I love the skirt!  Dad, remember how I would make fun of you when you said you were going to ''hike'' over to grandma and grandpas because it was not really a hike.  You should come walk around Schwarzenberg. Anywhere you walk really is a HIKE. I love it, no sarcasm, I really love it!!

Well I hope you all have a fantastic week!!!!

All my love!!!
Sister Turner
