Hey everyone,
sorry it's been a while...
LOTS of stuff happened and I probably won't write about everything. So.
Things have been going really well in Hannover. So our friend Ismail is got baptized! We invited a bunch of people to his baptism and lots of people came. We have started teaching this girl (and she's actually German #wunder) and she is really interested and after we met with her she came to church and even stayed for the baptism afterwards. She really enjoyed everything, and there were just so many small miracles throughout the day.
We were running around the whole time trying to get programs ready and fill up the font and getting the food ready and set up for after the baptism and our friend Elizabeth asked if she could help and it was awesome, she helped us fold the programs and get food ready after the meeting and it really helped me realize how important it is that we invite people to 'come and help' because then they feel needed and don't feel awkward. The members did a really great job of talking to her and making her feel welcome. One of the best parts though was during Sunday School. The topic of the Sunday School was the Fall of Adam. We had given her 2 Nephi 2 to read as a commitment in our last lesson and so she was already prepared! She even brought her BoM to church and then shared the copy with our other friend! It was really cool. She was out of town this last week, but we will be meeting again this week and we are really excited. We also found a couple on the street last week that are very interested and we will be meeting with them this week as well. (They are also German). I have never taught so many native Germans almost in my whole mission, so I am very grateful.

We have been working really hard and have been having a lot of success. Oh also we got transfer calls and I'm staying and Elder Hansen is getting transferred to Neukölln in Berlin. My new companion will be Elder Schmid! I lived him with in the 4 man apartment in Tiergarten for 2 transfers. We gonna have a great time here.
We have another friend that is on baptismal date, but they prefer privacy so I won't be sharing many details about him, but they are also really awesome.
Also I hit my 18 month mark.... ya i feel so old. 6 months to get back in shape hehe... no more chocolate :( jk ill probably still eat it
