Well the hectic week came to a close. But it was a good one. So Thursday we were in Magdeburg for district meeting, then we had to go home and plan for English class, but then we had to go check on our member from Nigeria who was getting ready for ankle surgery, and it […]
Our Ward mission leader told us a story this week about when he accompanied Elder Eyring in Russia. They were sitting on the stand of a priesthood meeting and they noticed a lady walk in and take a seat. Not knowing what to do, Elder Eyring and Bruder Schutze went and talked to her in […]
This week we had some interesting moments. We went to a city called Aschersleben, where we have about 7 less actives and a few other members. It turns out there used to be a branch in this city but then it was later combined with Bernburg. We have now met/made contact with everyone on our […]
This last Monday we headed to Wittenberg-Lutherstadt, to see “The Ninety-Five Theses” church from Martin Luther. So we grabbed our “wandering canes” and met up with the Magdeburg elders. The city was beautiful and full of memorials to Martin Luther and the other reformers. Unfortunately the church is closed until 2017 for the 500 year […]
This week Elder Perkins and I taught a lesson in ZTM in Leipzig, our topic was “The Atonement”. Well we were quite pumped to have such a great topic, but then after 3 days of trying to plan on how to teach it, it put it back into perspective for me of how big it […]
General Konferenz was great! The rest of the week was alright… Our cool friend from China decided to move to Berlin, and he said he wouldn’t commit to anything and that he mostly just wanted to know what we believe. But he made us some crazy good Chinese food, and boy was it spicy! The […]
A nice week. A highlight of the week was a Part III exchange with my friend Elder Barrios (from my first district). We hit the streets and did some street contacting. In the evening we decided to go by an old contact, and to our surprise they let us in! It was an amazing time to […]
This week I received the wonderful Elder Perkins. Since he arrived, the people have become more hostile, but we’ve started also to see more success! Elder Perkins is a transfer older than me but has never served in East Germany so it’s been a bit funny watching him adjust to the East Germans. But we’re […]
This was a wild week, first off I’ll tell you about my new ward mission leader… So he just got back from a Temple Mission in Finland, and I just got to know him a little better. He’s been an Area Seventy… twice. The Freiberg Temple Präsident, Germany Berlin Mission Präsident after the wall came […]
Well if you want a true update on how things are going… finding, finding, finding, finding. And actually that has been the last 5 weeks… we have yet to teach a lesson in English/German this transfer. (Albanian is a little hard) But it’s okay! I’m having joy in the fact that the gospel is true, […]
