Church and my experiences with the Police!

on sudnay me and a girl named hadley decided that we were going to set out and find the church. So the location of this church is not on any map that we have, but we had general directions so we set off in the direction that we needed to go. So we were riding our bikes, and we just kept riding until we were totally out of the city. This is when we started to doubt our directions and made a turn off the road onto another road, well, this road took as no where pretty quickly. I asked an old woman how to get to Kieler Weg (the street in which I needed to get to) and i think she thought i was asking for the way to kiel, so she was no help. Then i asked an old man, and he again did not know. So at this point we were getting pretty discouraged, but continued on our way. Well. we saw a sign that seemed to point in the right direction, so we followed the sign, but it was weird cause we were kinda on the highway but not really. well apparently we were not suppose to ride on this street because the cops stop and started to yell at us! in german! so we conveyed that we didnt speak german very well and that we didnt know and then they pointed us in the direction of the bike path! hahaa. so then we are riding along the bike path and it just keeps going and then we run into a very cute old couple. I then stop to ask them if they know the street! and they did! we of course were heading the wrong direction, but we got the directions for the way. well this couple was very cute, and they seemed to want us to stay and talk with them cause they kept asking us questions, but we left and were able to find the church! it was great. we were a half hour late so we missed the sacrament. We got into church in the middle of a talk and both could not understand anything! haha. after sacrament we talked to the missionaries! there were two elders and two sisters and then one couple that works at the institute at the university! yeah so there is an institute and there are a number of young adults! i think i am going to go to their activities! they all seemed very nice. the missionaries were really nice, they also laughed at us for getting lost and a little wet! haha.
