Not much new this week besides that we TAUGHT THE FIRST LESSON, yeah we’ve taught it before, but this time it was different. We talked to someone on the street, made an appointment, then we went and the person was actually there… and he was pretty normal. It was I think the first time that […]
This week was good, stressful but good. We met with S our eternal investigator of 10 years, he’s been making progress, reading in the scriptures and coming to church, we talked about baptism, and he showed me a page in this old evangelist book, talking about how you’re damned if you get baptized twice. (He […]
Monday night we stayed in Merzahn with Elder Glissmeyer and 10 other elders in a tiny apartment in the ghetto of Berlin. A night to not be forgotten! Elder Oliphant was also there! This zone conference was also our last time with President and Sister Kosak. President’s last testimony was simply about the Restoration, the magnitude of it, and why […]
This week we went by Herr G and he had a friend over. His friend apparently comes over every Wednesday because Herr G is most of the time alone, and… he has pretty bad Alzheimer’s. We had no idea but that explains why he hasn’t been following any of our commitments… because he just doesn’t remember. But his friend said he’s […]
Well Tuesday I sent Elder Brimhall off, then I hopped on a train by myself to Chemnitz not knowing that that day and the next would be quite the adventure. For a few hours we helped missionaries get on and off trains at the train station. We got to help a lady from New York that didn’t […]
Well this week I’ve been reading Jesus the Christ and so far one thing I’ve learned is that we really have no need to worry because JESUS IS THE CHRIST, HE IS our Savior and Redeemer. Hard times will come, they always do, but when it comes down to it we have no need to […]
Skype! It was great to see everyone! It was a good day. This week on Thursday is “Christi Himmelfahrt”(Ascension Day) a Catholic holiday but Germans use it to get really drunk, so we have to be in our apartment by 6 on Thursday… We taught 5 lessons this week with our 3 old investigators! They went well and […]
Well a little bit of color has crept into Zwickau, not a ton, but flowers are beautiful plants… now my favorite. But the church is amazing. This week I went on exchange with my trainer Elder O’Keefe! It was a blast and we taught a couple lessons to my investigators here in Zwickau. I’ve been […]
Well first off we got a referral last week, he’s a refugee from Afghanistan, he’s actually the son of an ambassador there but people wanted to kidnap him so he came here! He’s Islamic and has really good English, he mostly wants friends and people to talk to so I guess we work. But we […]
Braunschweig was cool! We went back to Primark and I bought a suit for 38 euros, and about 7 ties for 2 euros each, and Elder Brimhall’s arm is super, not broken anymore! We went back and visited Herr S. He was drunk again, we tried to teach the Word of Wisdom but he thinks […]
