No Title

Hallo alle!

 

This was another great week! 

 

We went over to the Pilz family's for dinner on Thursday along with Sam! The Pilz's are a younger family with two incredibly crazy but cute kids. They were trying to karate chop us and build pillow towers. We were at first a bit worried that Sam wasn't really ready to get baptized, but we just talked about what the Gospel, Jesus Christ, the Atonement, and other things meant to him, and he gave such heartfelt, comprehensive answers. He has such a cool spirit around him, and everytime we talk about the Gospel with him I feel the Spirit so strong. He is getting baptized on sunday!

 

We also visited the Frankfurt Cemetery today which was really cool. There was a Jewish Cemetery right next to it. We had to wear yamakas while inside which was really cool. I respect them for taking the level of respect and reverence in the cemetery to a whole nother level. The guy at the front asked us a lot of questions about our beliefs having to do with life after death, and I was thinking to myself "I am standing here explaining life after death in Germany, to a Jewish man, in German, while I am wearing a yamaka.... where am I and what am I doing?". The spirit was really strong but I was just having one of those "wow i'm on a mission" moments.

 

Anyways that's all folks love ya miss ya tschüss!

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...
