Hallo! :)
The highlight of this week was being able to hear from Elder Evans.
It was a real treat that only Munich zone got to taste. He said things that
will change our lives. My favorite thing that he did was takes us through the
Book of Mormon. We talked about how we should be having our investigators start
at the beginning of the book of Mormon. Well its because we learn about
everything in that first chapters from happy home to prophets and personal
revelation. It was a big eye opener to me how important the Book of Mormon
really is.
Another cool experience I had was to be able to see the Atonement
really work in someone’s life. It was the coolest thing to see forgiveness and
see an investigator see it is okay to move on and that just because one member
of the church offended her, doesn't mean we're all that way.
This week one of the 2 young adults came with us and we visited many
less active young adults to invite them to sportabend (sports night)! It was
really fun to work with her as she is preparing to go on a mission herself. I
think that anyone preparing to go on a mission should spend time with the
missionaries, and when possible, do the mini missionary program.
This week I met an older member of the ward. She had my
personality.... it was very interesting to see me in 40 years. She was so dang
funny and I just got along with her great. We are meeting with her again and I
hope that there will be a way to help her see that the church is great
everywhere, not only in America. (I actually think church is better for the
most part over here... :) )
This week we had a finding day in Kaufbeuren, we painted eggs to give to the ladies in the
ward with no children. I just love doing service, we actually also got to help
someone in our ward organize their home. When you are in the service of your
fellow man, you ARE in the service of your God. I just think that that is
exactly what Heavenly Father would do if he was serving right here beside me.
This week we spent some time up in Donauwörth. It was really
cool because in a neighboring dorf (village) (where the biggest egg nest of the
world is, see included picture), we met up with a member. We decided to go give
a Book of Mormon to someone she had met. As we were driving we realized the weather
was really nice (that means NO ONE IS HOME, ever) and so were worried we
wouldn't find her home. As we were parking the car, the lady was walking along
the river right in front of us. It was a really cool miracle. I was really
happy that the member was there to witness it and see how Gods hand is really
in this work. We then got to spend some time walking along the Donau. A year
ago, I was moving into my apartment on the Donau, it brought me back.... funny
how that happens. I feel like I was on the plane over here yesterday.
It was a great week and its time to get back to work!
I hope everyone had a great Easter! Easter is celebrated for 2 days
here, so I can still say Frohe Ostern!!!! Also, I am OBSESSED with this video,
but I actually like it in German better-- http://youtu.be/23ea191GH3A
Love ya!
Alles Liebe,
