Happy Easter – it vas ferry grate.

Elder Anderson was sick for most of the week, so that cramped our style but the weekend came and we had some nice things happen. Once Anderson got better we decided for a fresh start so we rearranged the apartment. I may have broken a bunch of interior decorating rules but the place looks dang […]

Geschwindigkeitsbegrenzung

Right now we are doing a “40 day fast” where a different member fasts for the missionary work each day. And the goal is to give out 40 Book of Mormons in these 40 days. It’s been quite the blessing to have some of the members get excited about missionary work. Tuesday we got the first […]

Gold

Not a bad week, Tuesday we were in Hamburg for zone training meeting, where we got to teach old and brand new missionaries in two classes 30 minutes a piece about memorizing the good word (scriptures and such) it was good, and I learned a lot as well. In other news I received my German […]

Wonder World with Wunderbehrndt

For transfers this week I was up in Hamburg sending off my companion and waiting with the one and only Elder Bailey. Funny story I still don’t have my German license, so it should be here this week, but we had to repark the car. So Elder Bailey got to drive for the first time […]

House Hunters International

Transfers came, transfers went. Elder Headley is off to Görlitz, and I will be receiving an Elder Anderson from Texas, I think it will be super. This week we will be going apartment hunting with a senior missionary couple, pretty much if our current apartment was in America they would have condemned the whole thing […]

“Get Thee Hence”

Hey friends and family! Last Friday was pretty good, we had a couple cool moments. We were meeting with a member, helping him make an “I’m a Mormon” profile, and we got a phone call from one of our less active members letting us know he wants help coming back to church. And because his […]

Allstar Weekend

A couple highlights from this week – we found a guy in the area book, went by and he talked to us about how he read the Book of Mormon and how he thought it was good, and how humans are just slaves to aliens and that’s where the pyramids come from. Yeah, it took […]

Hamburg

It was a fun week, the downside was I was sick for most of it, but it still was a lot of fun. On Tuesday we traveled to Hamburg for my nice little 6 hour meeting, and it was actually pretty good, we read from the scriptures, did role plays, talked about the Savior – […]

Wooh

Right now I’m on a train back from Hamburg, we met up with some missionaries and visited a church, and wandered all around. This week we met with as many members as we could, and it paid off well. Monday night we went over to a member’s house for FHE. We taught a small lesson […]

Lauenburg

The first week in Lauenburg has come and gone… And thank goodness! I’m not a big fan of adjusting, so it’s been good to get a little settled in. Having a car is weird, our city is too small for us to work in so “dorf hopping” we go! We drive around to all the […]
