Hamburg, here I come

Hey family and friends! I'm going to keep it short today because we're
super busy.

We had a fun week and stayed busy with appointments. At the end of the
week, we helped some of Tina's friends (Uwe and Albine) move. They
live auf dem Dreesch which is the south side of Schwerin and is
literally a communist ghetto nowadays. We basically coordinated and
did the work. Halfway through, this one woman shows up trying to win
back her Russian ex that is now dating another woman... When he rebuffed
her and told her to get lost she fell to the ground and played dead.
Then they called an ambulance and carted her off....  Life in the old DDR
I guess....  Here's what the neighborhood looks like:

Oh, also our Afghani friend wants to be baptized! He called and said
that he felt the spirit during general conference and said that it was
so nice to hear prophets and apostles speak.

Herr Daugs continues to pray and came to church this week. Speaking
of Sunday, we had a great turn out at church! Five investigators came!
Two of them were guys that we met Saturday. We had gotten a referral from a
member in Austria for the one guy. We met with him on Saturday and
while we were there, also got to know his roommate. They're both
doctors from Syria. They've been here for several months now and can
already speak some German.

Big news this week, though, is that I'm being transferred to Hamburg
on Wednesday! Elder Garner is also being transferred. So Schwerin is
getting all new missionaries which is super sad because we just got this
area up and running and we made a ton of great friendships. I'm
looking forward to working in Hamburg, though, for the final stretch
of the mission.  Here are the missionaries that we've been working with
here in Schwerin--auf Wiedersehen!!
Take care,
Elder Tanner Germann
