Expect Miracles

Hallo alle!

 

It was a great week, I promise, but I am so tired so sorry for the half-thought through email!

 

We had a conference on Tuesday with some other missionaries, and it was a really spiritual time. It was also great to see some friends from earlier in my mission.

 

We also had dinner at the Sauer family's which is always a great time. They are so much fun and they are almost as sarcastic as my family, so I really feel at home there haha. We all went around and shared scriptures that help us and bring us hope. It was really cool and I felt the spirit so strong. I shared Mark 9:23-24 (but the whole chapter is good) I would explain it, but I think it would be better if you all just read yourselves. Please let me know your thoughts :)

 

We have really been trying to find more people to teach, and its been hard. We have talked to a lot of people and exchanged numbers, but its been hard to find anyone who is actually down to meet and learn more. In spite of that, we are having a great time. We have a great ward with a ton of awesome people our age, and we are working hard, so we have high hopes for the future! Something I have learned on my mission is that if you have faith and EXPECT miracles to happen, you will see them. 

 

Today we hiked up by Mainz to scout out the hike we are doing for our Zone Conference. It was really really pretty and we saw two castles! It was a good time.

 

Anyways thats all for this week! I love and miss you all!

 

Bis nächste Woche!

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...
