Hannover

This week we were able to go to the beautiful one and only city of Hannover! The place of dreams, city of courage, town of terrific, land of love… Yeah you get it, the place is awesome. But first we had to get there… So that meant that we had to get over to Köthen […]

Was it a good week?

A good week it was. Mission Tour was in Berlin so of course it was good! Wednesday night we went to overnight with my friend Elder Braun over in Köthen, which was of course a blast. The next morning we woke up at 4 am, walked 30 minutes through the dark street of the city […]

Glück Auf!

Very good week, it went by very fast and surprisingly enough I have been everywhere in our area… pretty much, the 3 major cities, and a handful of villages in the area. Its small but it’s good that I could get to know the area quick. How we managed to accomplish this feat of traveling […]

I Can Ride My Bike With No Handlebars

Bernburg is quite the town. It only has about 30,000 people, but it’s really pretty. It reminds me sometimes of my first area. Our apartment is great! We live in a cool attic apartment above the church! So Wi-Fi is really easy to get, but… it’s about 80 degrees in there most of the day, […]

Nach Bernberg

TRANSFERED, well off to Bernburg I go, I will be serving with Elder Illum from Roy Utah! He’s only 1 transfer older than my current trainee Elder Burns… it’ll be great! I’ll still be in the same stake as Zwickau so I’ll see all the members in a few months at stake conference! But I’ll […]

Love

My time here in Zwickau could be coming to a close. Saturday is transfer calls, so we’ll see what happens. But I’ve thought a lot about what I have learned during my time here in Zwickau. First I thought about what I learned when my journey began… Minden. I learned a lot there, but one thing that […]

Laborers

This week we had a few interesting moments, Wednesday we went back to the city of Hartenstein to visit the investigator we found, but she wasn’t home… A bus didn’t come for a while, so we decided to do some doors, which we were reluctant to do because finding investigators that live far away can be hard […]

Bamboozled

So we got bamboozled this week… we had a guy call us and he told us he had met with the missionaries before and now wanted to be baptized. Well I’m always skeptical of these moments so we did some investigating. We found him in the area book and he lives about 45 minutes by […]

Land of the Free, Home of the Brave

This week was a bit of a ride… it was an interesting one. Tuesday we decided to go somewhere new, so we took a bus an hour out to a place called Hartenstein! It had the closest thing to a mountain that I’ve seen since Provo. We had a less active that lived there but when we […]

“He is MY Prophet!”

So our Wi-Fi in the church broke… So at the moment we’re going to go look for Wi-Fi in the mall to send our emails… But if you’re reading this we found internet! This week we had a ward BBQ! Our eternal investigator came and had a great time (he’s known the ward for quite […]
