Trost

This week was a lot of a learning week, yesterday we were in Hamburg for the multi-stake conference broadcast. We spent the night Saturday night, with my boys Adams and German and went out for dinner. The rest of our week was filled with service and finding. We helped patch holes in a ceiling, we […]

Grace

So this week was filled with service and water… I guess because it rained a bunch this week and that we helped a member whose basement flooded. Normally a basement flooding here isn’t that big of a deal because they don’t have basements or they are just really small, but this member happens to have […]

Hedgehog

So we challenged our friend to pray about the Book of Mormon, this last week he let us know how it went… He was sitting out in his garden and he said “I prayed for a sign, because the Book of Mormon logically makes sense, it seems good. But is it a good book from […]

Wunderbar

We had a miracle this week while we were street contacting. As we were walking a man standing in the doorway of a cafe gave me a weird look, waved us over and asked if we could talk with him for a couple minutes. He went on to explain that he is a member of […]

KZ Neuengamme

This last week we were pretty busy, service and such. I was on exchange with Elder Adams and we had a blast, we went and met with a less active and had a good lesson with him, in the end we’re going to be meeting with him more often, and I may or may not […]

Month of May

Right now my 4 elder district is just us and the Spanish program, so this week I was on exchanges with my amigo Elder Castillo from Nebraska! His family is from Mexico and he reminded me of my trainee Elder Burns (so he’s the best). We went and chopped some more wood for a member […]

Wunder

This week was the last week of our 40 day fast with the ward (different members fast on different days). We saw a couple days of miracles and it was really cool. On Thursday we went to the city of Swarzenbeck where we are teaching a man from Iraq how to speak German. His son has a rare […]

Stake Conference

Last Monday we spent some time in Hamburg and we went and visited this park that’s got these giant swings, it was pretty cool. Right when we got there a guy came from the city to hook up the zip line (that you sit on). Well after tightening it all up he let us have […]

Barmherzigkeit

We had an interesting day in the woods this week. Awhile back my companion and I did some doors on a street that we picked out with a member family and we came across a dude and the only way to describe him is a mix of the Underminer from “The Incredibles” and a bit […]

It wasn’t too busy of a week, but it was nice to finish off with General Conference. On Friday we had an exchange and I went with our German Elder Behrndt where we did some finding. We were able to give out a Book of Mormon to some atheist dude. The next day we drove […]
