Quiltting, Lawsuits, And Vishnu!

Hallöchen liebe Leute!

A great week! But this one might be a bit short.

 

On Sunday our friend Sam came to church and afterwards we had an awesome lesson and he decided to be baptized on August 20th! We are so excited for him. He is so ready to learn and loves the Gospel so much.

 

On Monday we made quilt squares with the young adults to make blankets for the new babies in the ward, which was a lot of fun, even thoughmine sorta looked like I found it in the trash, but thats ok, I dont think the baby will notice.

 

We also talked with our friend Višja from Croatia and she has been reading in the Book of Mormon and praying about it. We are so excited for her because she is willing to exercise faith by reading and praying, trusting that God will bless her for her efforts.

 

We also have had a lot of success this week with contacting former friends in areabook. Of course we run into people who threaten to sue us if we text them again or tell us to get mental help, but there are also some 9eople who havent been talked to in many months by the missionaries who are willing to meet again and who want to learn more about the Gospel! 

 

We started focusing more on member work this week and started going through our member list to call people. My favorite thing is when we call an old german grandma who is so incredibly grateful for our call, and is just glad that she has someone to talk to. As missionaries we want to help bring others unto Jesus Christ, and one of the ways through which we are able to do that is by helping them feel His love through service and our love. 

 

Today we got to go to the temple with Vishnu! Vishnu was a member in Duisburg who was recently baptized and today he took out his endowments. He is such an incredible person and was so happy. The Spirit was so strong and I am really so grateful for the opportunity to go through and share the experience with him.

 

Anyways yall, thats all for this week. Miss you!

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...
