A Kiss from Jesus

Braunschweig was cool! We went back to Primark and I bought a suit for 38 euros, and about 7 ties for 2 euros each, and Elder Brimhall’s arm is super, not broken anymore!

We went back and visited Herr S. He was drunk again, we tried to teach the Word of Wisdom but he thinks drinking is healthy for you… While we were there a nurse came and gave him a shot for his diabetes, then he told us he was Jesus and showed us his hands (nothing there) so we decided to leave and come back when he’s sober. When we were walking out he kissed Elder Brimhall on the cheek, not a European kiss thing but a giant smooch, I started to laugh and started back toward the door, but then Herr S told me I was next, I tried to explain that we were in a hurry but it was to no avail… I got one too.  Elder Brimhall laughed pretty hard…   But ja, we’ll keep working on him.

I taught a lesson in District Meeting about Humility. If we are humble the Lord will make our weakness our strengths to help us reach our full potential. Ether 12:27

It reminded me of “The Last Crusade” when Dr. Jones has to go through a trial of test to reach the Holy Grail. First Only the Penitent man will pass, second he kneels before the Lord in Humility, and third takes a leap of faith and trusts in the Lord. In the end he reaches the Grail and which cup is it? The humble cup of the carpenter. The Savior was our perfect example of Humility, he is one of the most popular individuals in all of history but he directs all the glory to our Father in Heaven.

I hope this week we can look to be a little better, a little more humble.

“We are all in it together, all of us, and we have a great work to do. Every teacher can be a better teacher than he or she is today. Every officer can be a better officer than he or she is today. Every father can be a better father, every mother can be a better mother, every husband can be a better husband, every wife a better wife, every child a better child. We are on the road that leads to immortality and eternal life and today is a part of it. Let us never forget it” – Gordon B. Hinkley

Thanks for the Easter package!

IMMER mit liebe
