Frankfurt Germany Mission #10

Hi everyone! 

This is Landon's sister Makenna.:) Landon has been super busy these past few weeks and hasn't gotten a chance to sit down and write an email. So he asked me to send out an email to let everyone know what's been going on. 

Last week Landon had the opportunity to go 2 hours north to the town of Ahrweiler which was affected by the floods. He loves service and was so grateful that he was able to participate in the clean-up. He said that he didn't know that he could love shoveling mud so much! The first picture below is of the hospital basement he was working in during the week. He said that you could see the line on the wall where the water hit. It was about 10 feet high! The second picture is of Landon and some other missionaries after a hard days work!:) He said that the locals called them minions because of their yellow shirts and blue overalls.

Landon also was able to go on splits( when the missionary goes with a new companion for the day) to Trier. While he was there he got to see some pretty incredible sites like the Cathedral of Saint Peter which is the oldest church in Germany!

Lastly, he was also site see around his area of Saarbrucken. This photo is of Ludwigskirche one of the most important Protestant churches in Germany.

Landon will be back next week to tell you more about his adventures. Hope you all are doing well and are having a wonderful weekend!:)

Hallo alle! A crazy week to say the least!    On Saturday we (the Essen and Dortmund District missionaries) hosted a stake youth activity in Dortmund. It was called "Great Gatsby Night: a Night in the 1920's" - who wouldn't want to go to that? It was a huge success and actually a good amount of youth showed up which was way cool. We played a bunch of card games, served drinks, and it was a ton of fun! Maybe I will be a waiter when I get home. I only managed to screw up a couple orders and forget 3 others, and only one person told me they would leave me a 2 star Yelp review. It was such a great opportunity to create better relationships with the youth and show them that missionaries are just normal people too!   We met this week with Dennis again, along with two other missionaries that we were on a split with, and Marco (the GOAT, he is got to be one of my best friends here in Germany now, plus he is like 6'11", so to have a connection like him has its perks! ...

Hallo Leute! It's been a good week! Last Thursday we had a lesson with Alex and Galina. They are dating, but Alex is a member and Galina is not. We talked about the steps before baptism, and we even asked them if they want to get sealed sometime in the temple, and they enthusiastically said yes! The Spirit was so strong and you could see how much they cared for each other and how much they looked forward to being able to be together for eternity. Galina is really excited to get baptized, and today we are going to be talking more about what it takes to get there. On Friday we had three lessons in a row, all of which were really powerful. The first one with Dominik who was recently baptized. He is such a great guy and he is trying so hard to live the Gospel! The Gospel has really changed his life and he talked to us about how grateful he is for it and for the blessings he has seen. We then had a lesson with Christian, who was someone who had ordered a Book of Mormon through our missi...
