A Perfect Plan

Hallo liebe Leute!

Well this has been a crazy week.


On Thursday we had another incredible lesson with Alex and Galina. They asked US what more they could do to help the ward out and be more active in it. We had a nice discussion about the power of prayer, and it was really awesome. As both Elder Christensen and I gave testimony of prayer and how it has helped us in our lives, the Spirit was really strong. Alex and Galina are such incredible people, and I am grateful that I have been able to get to know them.


On Saturday I got the call that I would be transferred to Frankfurt. That was pretty darn unexpected and I was hoping to be able to spend the rest of my mission in Essen. But I am also really excited to be here in Frankfurt. I am actually serving with Elder Urban again, who I was companions with in Darmstadt for two transfers last year. So that was also pretty unexpected to say the least, but I am so excited for us to be able to work together again!


Saturday and Sunday was Stake Conference in Dortmund, so I got to see some member friends in Dortmund which was cool. I love reunions!


The past week has been pretty crazy, especially with transfers and leaving Essen, new missionaries coming in, and the missionaries leaving the mission. During this time I have learned even more about how perfect God's plan is for each one of us.


It was pretty hard to leave Essen and say goodbye to Elder Christensen and the couple members I had gotten really close to. But I came to remember how God's plan for each one of us is so incredibly perfect. No matter how difficult our lives may be, and no matter what challenges we go through, there is always something for us to learn and a way we can grow. The experiences we have are perfect for us in order for the Lord to develop us into the people He wants us to become. Live everyday with that knowledge. That you are of divine potential, that you are worth more than you can imagine, and that God has a perfect plan for you.


I love you all, see you next week!

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...
