It was definately a suprise two days ago, when John and Cathy came with your package. Thank you so much for the decorations! I'm going to be honest with you, last year I didn't rreally know what to do with them, I only ended up using some of them. However, we spend so much time now in the appartment and office, and the group here is so cool, we are totally going to deck the place out!
Anyway, two days ago here's how it went: Elder Leinberger and I were at McDonalds with a member from a german ward that he's good friends with. We were talking with her about the gospel and her situation, and then we finished up and started to head back. On the way Elder Leinberger sent a text letting the others know we were on our way. We then, next to an intersection, recieved the following text: " Elder Lingen's family is coming in 45 minutes." I was shocked, called and he said just that someone was coming with a package. We rushed home as fast as we could with the public transport, then we rushed in to an empty office. Bit of a letdown. However, the others got back, I talked to Elder Gildner, who said it was a female voice (up to that point I was thinking either my trainer, Marc, Alice, or Jeannette, and that ruled out Marc and my trainer). We waited a little bit, got some work done and the bell rang. I was excited to see who it was. When Cathy and John walked in it made total sense, but I was super suprised! We talked for a bit, took some pictures, then walked them back to bahnhof. The crazy thing was, they knew Elder Hanson, the senior missionary in charge of apartments and phones! They had been neighbors in payson, which was crazy! They spent some time talking too, and he gave them his suggestions for what to do while they were in town. it was a nice suprise, and there was a funny part at the end when John mentioned that he was my dentist.
