Baptisms and Transfers

Early morning train ride to our Zone Conference in Berlin. Note the Elders reflection in the window taking the picture.

Our second baptism in January was Marcel Wieneke whose first contact with the church was when he came to Sven's baptism. He was baptized a week later. He is a cute boy and we love him.

A change in our District. Goodbye to Elder Orton and hello to our new District leader Elder Stekkinger. He is from Holland. Sorry the picture is so poor but it is part of the history.



Our new District Leader, Elder Stekkinger and his missionaries. He is dedicated and works hard to keep our district on the top. He was the Assistant to the President and will probably finish his mission here.



Goodbye to Sister Hoffman. She was blitzed to Bernburg. We laughed and cried togeter and we miss her.


On our way to way to the Bahnhof (train station) to go to the baptism for Shen. His mother was the one who cooked delicious Chinese dinners. Now that she is gone back to China he continues to invite us over. We helped him make dumplings the other night.



Here we are again at our third baptism in January to baptize Shen. Sister Hoffman was able to attend since she and Sister Vasileva taught him. It took him a little longer to decide to be baptized. They taught him for 2 months. Note our new roomate, Sister Liboschik next to Sister Gill. She is German and speaks very little English. We love her. We now have two German roomates.



Sister Wells got out of her comfort zone to sing alto in a duet with Elder Stekkinger for the program. They sang "Oh How Lovely Was the Morning." There were a few compliments.
