Week 73: The Egg

Hoi zäme!

This past week was my last one with Sister Bréant, but it was a good one! We met with quite a few members, so that Sister Bréant could say goodbye. We also had some really good appointments with friends, so things are going pretty well in Burgdorf!

We met with one of our friends, and let me tell you, it was an interesting experience. She is from Peru and is a very spiritual person. Near the end of our visit, she asked if she could perform a cleansing ritual for each of us. We were okay with it, so our friend went into her kitchen and came back with two eggs and a glass of water. She proceeded to clasp the egg in her hand and began saying some sort of prayer. She then took the egg, and rubbed it up and down my body while chanting something in Spanish. Then she cracked the egg into the glass of water, examined it, and said that I was healthy.

She then did the same for Sister Bréant, except when she cracked the egg for her, there was a little bit of blood in the egg. Our friend had a very serious expression on her face, looked Sister Bréant in the eyes, and said, "Du bist krank". (You are sick.) Our friend ran inside, grabbed some scissors, and started violently cutting up the egg yoke. Poor Sister Bréant looked so scared.

What's even crazier is that Sister Bréant got sick the next day. I think Sister Bréant was a little shaken, but I told her it was probably just a coincidence. I'm still not 100% convinced that you can use an egg to determine the future.

Yesterday, I said goodbye to Sister Bréant. It was really sad, but it'll be okay because I'll see her next week at zone conference. :)

I also met Sister Field, and she's awesome! She's so funny and very go-with-the-flow, so I'm happy that I get to serve with her for these last 3 weeks.

That's all for now! Bis später!

Liebe Grüße,

Sister Gladwell
