Hallo Leute! This week we got to meet for the first time with Zoe, who we had run into at a park. She is from China, so we invited one of our members, Bohan, to teach with us. She has read the bible 3 times, and the first time she read it in 1 month, so she said she could read the Book of Mormon in just a couple days! Whenever we would say something she didn't understand, Bohan would translate into Chinese. Towards the end of our lesson, she said something in Chinese to Bohan and Bohan looked at us and said "She wants to know about baptism". So we took her to the baptismal font and shared how it changes lives and helps people become happier. She said "I want to see that. I want to experience that". We are so excited for her! We also had the chance to be at a couple Zone Conferences. I got to see my last companion Elder Christesen, it was awesome to see him again. The whole time, in all of the conferences, the Spirit was so strong. So many people shared their per...

Hallo Leute! The weeks just keep getting better! We had a lesson this week with a friend of ours, Andreas, who is already Christian and was so excited to meet with us. We met him in the miracle park that I talked about before. He sat down with him and he had so many questions. He told us about his story of how he came to find Jesus Christ. He went from heroin addict, alcoholic, and gambler to a devoted husband and follower of Jesus Christ. He is a testament to me that the Atonement of Jesus Christ works for everyone. No matter how far you have gone, you are never out of reach of the redeeming power of the Atonement. All you have to do is be willing to give Jesus Christ a chance, come unto Him, and you will be given the strength you need to overcome any challenge. Yesterday evening we had a lesson with our friend Markus and his daughter Lily. The Spirit was so strong as Markus told us that he has been searching for such a long time for a faith that combines the good parts of every churc...

Hallo Leute! Another great week.  This week we had an exchange with the Langen Elders, and we had an incredible lesson with Markus, his daughter Lily, and his son Niko. Originally it was all over the place because both Lily and Niko have a lot of energy, but eventually we brought the focus back to the Plan of Salvation and how important Jesus Christ is. The little girl Lily got really excited and showed me all the songs about God and Jesus she had learned in school, and FROM memory she recited Psalm 23, the Lord is My Shepherd chapter. The Spirit was so strong when she was saying it. What Jesus says in Matthew 18:3 is so true! "Except ye...become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven." We should all try more to be like a child (trust me, that's not hard for me sometimes haha) There was also a girl in our ward getting baptized on Saturday so we invited Markus, and his little girl Lily also wanted to come along. It was a really awesome experience...

Guten Tag Leute! A very spiritual week! This week our friend Markus came to church and he brought his daughter! They both loved it! His daughter went to primary and as soon as church was over she ran up to Markus showing him the picture she had colored and said that they had to come again next week! It was the sweetest thing. He is so open to the gospel and so ready to learn. The Spirit was strong when when we were talking to him about the gospel! Something that I have learned a lot about is how much the Gospel can truly help us in our lives. My theme song this week is "Does the Journey Seem Long" 1. Does the journey seem long, The path rugged and steep? Are there briars and thorns on the way? Do sharp stones cut your feet As you struggle to rise To the heights thru the heat of the day? 2. Is your heart faint and sad, Your soul weary within, As you toil ’neath your burden of care? Does the load heavy seem You are forced now to lift? Is there no one your burden to share? 3. Le...

Hallo liebe Leute! Another week filled with a lot of cool experiences. On Friday we had a lesson with a philosopher that went a little bit over time, and so we were going to be late to our next lesson. We started to drive over to our next lesson at a park, but as we were driving, our next lesson was canceled. So we had to decide whether we would just keep going to the park and just talk to people, or turn around and go do some studying. We decided to go to the park anyway. Once we got there, we realized how cold and rainy it was, and there were not many people out. But we decided to keep going. We stopped this one girl named Anette and ended up walking with her for 45 minutes answering her questions about life after death and how to find peace in life. She was so interested! As we bore testimony to her, the Spirit was so strong! We ended up exchanging numbers and we will be meeting with her tomorrow. There are no coincidences! On Sunday we also had an incredible lesson with Liam, who i...
