The 6 month adventure in Bernburg has come to an end. We saw some miracles, and success these last 2 weeks. On Friday we had my first Joint teach in 6 months, with our Russian investigator! She’s such a cool lady, one of the older ladies in the ward came and it worked out perfect. […]
It is cold. Not as cold a Nome Alaska but still cold. I guess it decided to snow here just in time for… the 6th of January. We did a lot of walking and talking as usual. Wednesday we had all 4 elders in our district over in Bernburg for a “finding Palooza!” which made […]
New Year’s was insane. Literally hell breaks loose, and a straight riot is started in the streets. Bombs. New Year’s Eve we were invited to a member’s house for lunch, and then a member in a branch next to ours invited us over for the night. Interestingly enough we ate lunch at the same member […]
Quite the week, nice to have it over and hopefully things can get back to normal! On Monday we accompanied the Köthen elders and their 8 or so youth (7 young men 1 young women) to Leipzig to spend our P-day with a Christmas market, because for some reason our tiny market in Bernburg decided […]
Well well, Merry Christmas to all! Honestly, there is no place like home for the holidays. But you become more thankful for what you have when you go without. We’re also still dreaming of a white Christmas. Northern Germany normally doesn’t get any snow, so we’ll make the best of what we have… rain. This […]
Well it was a good birthday, ate some Subway, and played some ping pong. Alles gute! It was a slow week for us, but ya know, the work goes on. We spent most of our week handing out invites to our choir concert composed of our members and missionaries. We had our first one on […]
Currently we are in Magdeburg waiting for Elder Casperson’s new companion who will arrive tomorrow, Elder Brimhall! We sent off Elder Barrios home today and so to mourn we went ice-skating! It was a blast! We couldn’t get ourselves off the ice for a couple hours and I could say we’d probably win gold in the […]
Berlin again last week… This time we had to wake up at 4 so it was a bit of a long day. But because our train got to Berlin at 7, we had some time to do some sightseeing. We went to the Brandenburger tour, not very many tourists out at 8 so it was […]
A nice week here in Bernburg, we managed to stay somewhat busy and that is always a blessing. First off on Tuesday we had an exchange with the zone leaders and luckily our cozy little 4 man district is doing well, so I had plenty of time to do finding with the ZLs. It was a long […]
This week we had the special opportunity to have Elder Ballard visit our mission, we heard on Friday morning that on Sunday night he would be coming so figuring out how to get there was a fun ride. The mission rallied together in Berlin! Always rad to see all my friends from the other side […]
