I thought it was funny when jay leno asked simple questions, and no one knows the answer, but it is even funnier when we do it, and it is in person. So yesterday we had a little time right before church, and we went around the city asking people what Easter was. Man. I would say about 70% said that is was because the easter bunny comes. We had some other good interesting remarks. Part of our easter sunday we went and took part of a catholic service. Our church is so true!! It was actually really interesting to see. The main guy (father?) sung everything, they did alot of hail maries, and we all shook hands. It was actually really cool to see, here in Germany, a land with so much religious history. I have been to that church now twice, which means I am just as active, as the majority of the members, (Christmas and Easter) we also got to see a service in the evangalish cathedral,for karfreitag, not sure what that is in english. It felt just really dark, and cold. Our church was really good, my companion had a talk, and forgot his sheet, so he winged it, did alright. But then we got to see a women from bremerhaven get baptized. I have see a couple now, and am just waiting to put on the hometown whites myself. The work is going really good here, one of our investigators had a date for next week, but he forgot to come to church, so that will have to be pushed back a little bit. mal sehen. We had easter dinner at our bishops house. He is great, really excited man. His daughter is actually on a mission at temple square, so if you are ever there, ask for sister fritzch. I actually met here at the MTC, think I already said that. It is actually a holiday today, so we are going to go and work, while people are home. so have a nice day, all sounds good.
Elder Cramer
Anita- I talked to my bishop yesterday about the geneology, he is really big into it here in Germany. He was way excited to see some of those names and places. He said he knows alot about Oldenburg. He wants to be in coorespondance. He gave me his email address, but it is in my other suit coat. He said if you gave specific dates, and what not, he would be more than glad to help. I will give the email address for him next week. He has already done some for me, just because my name was German, and found a coat of arms of some sort for Cramer. Danke schoen.
So it turns out the Elder Waldrip, was really good friends with Barbara. We didnt find this out for 3 months, until he was about to get transfered, he happened to see a picture she had sent me. So we wrote her together. Thats about it.
