Well, if the GI Joes last week weren't enough, this week we had a flood!  Hahaha, oh the adventures of Sister Turner and Sister Means continue!  Tuesday morning during personal study we hear a weird sound in the hallway.  We walk over and see that the water heater broke and water is going everywhere. I grabbed buckets and our one towel and Sister Means ran up the stairs to grab the member who lives above us.  They weren't there so she calls our Branch President who is in charge of our apartment.  His workshop is attached to our building.  The phone call went something like this ''uHHhhh Präsident Seidl, lots of water, LOTS of water in our apartment. HeLp''.  After a few days we again had water and then later warm water.  We are happy and clean :) and even more grateful for the blessing of warm running water.

I also need to be careful what I wish for.  This weekend we went on tausch (exchanges).  I went up to Chemnitz to work with Sister Chevalier.  Sister Means stayed here with Sister Helzer.  While in Chemnitz we had the opportunity to run for many buses and trains.  One saying we have is that if you did not work out in the morning or did not have a good enough work out; the Lord will make sure you get it in during the day.

On Thursday we had a conference call for just the sisters in our mission.  We found out that next transfer (in 4 weeks) both Sister Means and I will be training, (Father of the Bride 2 moment) as well as the rest of the Sisters, with the exception of Sister Training Leaders.  I am very surprisingly calm about this.  This means that I will most likely be in a different are for my last 5 weeks...not my favorite idea, aber ich gehe wohin du mich heißt o Herr.  I'll go where you want me to go.  In four weeks we will actually find out where we will be training.  Präsident Kosak thought it would be good to give us a little heads up before the big change hits.  Crazy!

We have also had our hearts broken this week when 2 investigators decided to stop meeting with us.  But we are continually blessed to be at the right place at the right time.  We found a new investigator from a contact list.  His last name was not on the klingel, and we would have had no idea which one was him, except he just happened to be walking out the main door and asked who we were looking for. We have a joint teach set up for this week!

Ahh, running out of time.  I wish I could share more.  I love you all!!!

Also I am so excited for General Conference!!!!!!!!!  Plan, prepare and listen to the Spirit!

Have a fantastic week!!!
