Pizza Night, Baptism, And Hitting The Streets

Hallo Alle!


This week was really awesome! My mom said a lot of people were confused why my pday is on Thursday, so I thought I would quickly explain. In Germany they love holidays so there are tons of holidays on Mondays, meaning that a lot of stuff is closed on Monday, so some time in the past the mission president decided to moved it to Thursday.


Anyways we had splits this week here in Saarbrücken which was so fun. We made some cookies and brought them to a new Young adult in our ward, tried delivering a couple Book of Mormons (but they werent there), ordered some pizza while working hard at the church building, and did our English class (which is always fun). 


We found a new friend! I met a guy on Facebook who was interested in talking about the Book of Mormon and Christ, and we actually ended up meeting with him in the church, gave him a tour of it, and when we showed him the font he asked if he could be baptized again even though he was baptized in a different church! It was so awesome and he is so ready to learn more. (Sorry to psyche yall out with my title, but we didnt actually baptize anyone this week haha)
Elder Jacobsen and I had a cool experience on the street where we decided to stop someone and we started talking with her even though she seemed preoccupied on her phone. We then had like a 15 Minute conversation about prayer and how we can recieve answers to our prayers. We were both able to bare powerful testimony of the truth of the Book of Mormon and the power of prayer. German was coming out of my mouth and I wasnt even thinking about what I was saying. God definitely helped me to say what I needed to say. The Spirit was so strong and she said she would definitely read in the Book of Mormon! Hopefully we will be able to meet with her again sometime!


Halloween passed, and not really anything exciting happened, but they are already decorating for Christmas here! 


Better get excited because its almost that time of year!
Talk to yall next week!
Tschüss meine Kumpels!

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...
