happy moments roll...

I said, "Off."

Oh, off. Got it.

Sister Keller?

Should we do

our companionship study?

Sister Keller?

Listen. It's probably better

if you study German first

so people can actually understand

what you're saying.

What if we study together

in German?

I already speak German.

Erika is very interested

and already came to church

a couple of times.

But her parents

don't want to meet with us.

We usually meet her here,

where she hangs out

with her friends.

I totally want to go

to America one day.

You should come and visit.

We have a big house.

Wow! It's huge.

My family would love to have you.

You're always welcome.

Really?

Erika, could you read

this scripture with us?

Repent, all ye ends of the earth,

and come unto me

and be baptized in my name,

that ye may be sanctified

by the reception of the Holy Ghost.

What does this scripture

mean to you?

I like it.

Sanctified.

Sounds beautiful.

Erika, will you follow the example

of Jesus Christ and be baptized?

What?

What am I supposed to do?

She wanted me to speak in English.

She also wanted us

to drink iced tea.

Look, I didn't know...

I didn't know

that I wasn't supposed to ask her

if she wanted to be baptized.

I just--I thought that's what we do.

You should have listened

to what I told you.

Aren't you at least happy?

She wants to be baptized.

She needs more time.

Why do you think

she needs more time?

Is it because I asked her?

Is that it?

Listen, she doesn't know

what it means to be baptized.

Yah!

She's been to church before.

She's had several lessons.

I know she felt the Spirit,

and she's looking for the truth.

She wants to be baptized!

You've met her

for the first time today.

I know her better

because I taught her

for the last 2 months.

And I'm your senior companion,

so please stop preaching to me.

# Happy birthday to you!

# Happy birthday to you!

Happy birthday,

Sister Taylor.

Thank you.

Alright, everyone.

Let's go to work.

Dear Heavenly Father...

I just don't think

I can do this anymore.

Please, help me.

You poor thing.

You must have lost

someone very close.

Did you know

the deceased very well?

It'll be alright.

Sorry for inviting you

to be baptized.

I didn't mean

to put pressure on you.

No, don't worry.

I was a bit surprised,

but then I felt wonderful

about being baptized.

Erika, next week might be

a little early for your baptism.

But we can continue

to meet with you

and teach you

and help you to be ready.

That's great.

And when do you think

I would be ready?

I haven't been teaching

you long enough.

What do you think,

Sister Keller?

If you come to Church

a few more times,

I think you will be ready, Erika.

Alright.

I think she really is ready.

If she's ready,

she won't mind coming to church

a few more times.

You know,

we don't do anything.

We don't tract

or talk to people on the street.

And we don't even baptize

the few who want to be baptized.

Alright. Since you think

you know everything better...

feel free to talk

to as many people as you want.

Hello, we're missionaries

of The Church of Jesus Christ...

Excuse me, we are here today

to share a special message...

with you about

the gospel of Jesus...

Hello, I'm glad you're home.

This is Sister Keller...

and I'm Sister Taylor

from The Church...

Before you shut the door,

may I ask you just one quest--

Would you listen to us?

Please?

Just one minu...

Hello. We are missionaries

of The Church of Jesus Christ

of Latter-day...

I don't speak English.

No, no, no.

I speak German.

Sorry.

I don't speak English.

She's usually on time.

Do you know where Erika is?

She doesn't want

to meet with you anymore.

What?

She said she doesn't want

to meet with you anymore.

I told you she wasn't ready.

Why do you hate me?

Was?

What "was"?

Don't "was" me.

You know "was."

Come on, Sister Taylor.

Don't be hysterical.

You're such a hypocrite.

A hypocrite?

You're calling me a hypocrite?

What is wrong with you?

You don't care what I think,

and you don't respect anything I say.

And you know everything better.

Don't twist things on me.

It's you who constantly tells me

that I'm an idiot.

I can never get your approval.

And how did you know Erika

wasn't ready to be baptized?

And now we lost her.

See, you're doing it again.

You're blaming me

for Erika not showing up.

As if it's my fault.

Whose fault is it then?

Do you even care about her?

Or me?

Or anyone?

You think you have

it all figured out, don't you?

I bet you don't even realize

how prideful and arrogant you are

and how you constantly act,

like you're too good to be here.

What about you?

Why are you here?

We don't study,

we don't pray,

we don't even talk.

At least I'm trying.

What are you trying?

I am trying to be

a good missionary.

Really?

Hello. The Church of Jesus Christ

of Latter-day Saints.

Hi, Elder Miller.

Yes. Yes.

She's right here.

It's for you.

Hello.

No, everything is fine.

We're just having

a companionship inventory.

Okay.

Alright.

So, I stay here?

No problem.

No problem.

Thank you.

Bye.

Pack your bags.

You're going to Salzburg for a week

to work with Sister Young.

Tell her "Hi" for me.

Salzburg.

Hello, Sister Taylor.

I'm Sister Young.

Welcome to Salzburg,

best area in the mission.

It's really nice to meet you.

Sister Keller says "Hi."

Thanks.

How is she?

She's good.

Good.

Let's go.

That's your bed.

Cool.

What do you want to do

for the next 7 days?

Missionary work.

The more, the better.

Alright.

Let's go then.

Okay.

# The errand of angels

is given to women

# And this is a gift

that, as sisters, we claim

# To do whatsoever

is gentle and human

# To cheer and to bless

in humanity's name

# As sisters in Zion,

we'll all work

# Together we'll strengthen

the weak

# We'll build up His kingdom

in earnest

# And all of His blessings

we'll seek

# As sisters

And God is speaking to us

through his prophets,

not only in ancient times

but also today.

Would you like to learn more?

We could visit you

and your family

and teach you

about the plan of happiness.

Why not?

Okay.

What did you just say?

I said, "Why not? "

When would you like to come?

We could... come...

tomorrow... or tonight.

Why don't you come

on Monday at 5?

Thank you, Mr....

Fritz. Fritz Zimmer.

Thank you.

Alright. I gotta run.

See you on Monday.

I just got my first appointment

from street contacting.

Congratulations!

How did you do it?

I don't know.

I just--

We were standing there and it just--

it just happened.

That's great.

What?

What?

I forgot to ask for his address.

I forgot to ask for his address!

Well.

I forgot to ask for his address!

It's gonna be alright.

It's not funny.

It kind of is a little funny.

No, definitely not funny.

No, no, really,

I think it is.

Please don't laugh.
