The Plague, Mutual, And Rules

Grüß euch!

 

This week was great! (For the most part)

 

On Saturday I had a bit of a cough but thought nothing of it. On Sunday it was getting a bit worse, and I was trying to not annoy everyone during Sacrament meeting. Throughout the day it got a lot worse, and my sinuses started to wack out, so I went and got tested for COVID.... and...... I tested negative yayyy! I still felt like I had some crazy disease and that my body was going to explode, but I survived! So I think its been allergies cause I bought some allergy meds at the pharmacy (also shout out to the lady at the pharmacy who gave me a tissue when she heard me sniffling). But we are doing better today!

 

On Tuesday Morning we got the call that Elder Urban finally tested negative and would be heading over here to Darmstadt, so my temporary but amazing 1 week companion Elder Stevens left as well for Nürnberg. It was a fun time!

 

We also visited a family we didn't know who were new in the ward. She is from Brazil and he is from here, and they met over the Mutual dating app! They were both looking for someone, and were getting pretty desperate and so they set their boundaries worldwide, and what do ya know! They were meant for each other!

 

So far it has been awesome with Elder Urban. He is such a great guy, I have already learned a lot from him. We have been meeting a lot of cool people on the streets and in buses lately. I stopped one guy who told me that although he thought that what we do as missionaries is great, he wasn't very interested. I just bore testimony to him about the beauty and power of the Book of Mormon, and the Spirit was really strong. He still wasn't too interested but we exchanged numbers and he said he has a friend who he thinks would be interested so he's putting us in contact! So that was a pretty good experience.

 

Also Germans really do like their rules. Our neighbor complains to the Landlord whenever he hears us too much, and so our Landlord showed us the contract of the apartment complex. Apparently we aren't allowed to run our washing machine, dryer, or even shower between 8pm and 8am or between 1pm and 3pm (the midday peaceful time apparently). It also specifically says that we have to close doors quietly. But anyways we are trying our best!

 

Sorry but that's all for this week folks! Love y'all and miss yall!

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...
