Krefeld, Germany

The alarm went off at 6:15 … out of bed at 6:25. Late getting out of the house. Picked Br. Trautmann up and got 15 minutes late to Presidency Meeting. Br. Rudloff was already there. Discussed re-organization of Primary and Relief Society organizations. Got the announcements straight. Br. Trautmann has the lead today. I get to sit back and take it all in.

Eleven brethren at Priesthood Mtg. 43 people at Sunday School. The English lesson was about the miracles of Jesus used to teach his apostles and disciples. We had Correlation Meeting right after Sunday School. All auxiliaries except Primary were represented. I talked to Sister Hohmann just prior to the meeting. She had to go to work and couldn’t stay for the meeting. She suggested Rebekka Hansen as a counselor and a teacher in Primary. (Sister Hohmann) has a problem getting Wednesday free. It’s normally her free day but if something happens, she has to work and can’t be to Primary.

Visiting Teaching districts were set up and will start in February The additional Relief Society on Sunday morning will also start in February. Sister Hansen has talked to Sister Trautmann about teaching a class and about being a counselor. I wish Sister Hansen wouldn’t do that.

We had Missionary Correlation Meeting at 3:00 p.m. Rachel Hansen and 4 missionaries were there. We talked about training Rachel and the missionaries made an appointment for Friday to take Rachel tracting and to give a discussion. The missionaries will make a chart to tell us what is happening with referrlas and contacts. We planned a Fireside for February 16th and will have the movie “Meet the Mormons”.

Thirty-six people at Sacrament Meeting. Br. Dietrich and his wife and a High Counselor were there. Sister Mohr didn’t show to give her talk.

Br. and Sis. Wright and Peter came over after Sacrament Meeting. I took everyone home about midnight and was in bed about 12:30 a.m.
