This week we had the chance to go visit B**** and see how he was doing. He got moved to a city pretty far away, so we went and read some scriptures with him. He shared the story of when he was going to be smuggled into Italy, he was placed in a boat and […]
Well this week Friday was our last day in the apartment! We ended with 10 not going anywhere… it was rough but I had a lot of time to read in the Book of Mormon and watch every church video ever made… “Together forever” will always be a classic haha. I studied a lot about the Atonement, […]
This week has been kind of long, but immer gut! Elder Paul is pretty cool and he’s been on his mission for 17 months so das ist toll auch. His first name is Hunter too. Unfortunately he came sick – pretty sick, so we’ve been inside for about 4 days now. We went to the […]
Transfer calls! Elder O’Keefe is going to Plauen? I don’t know where that is. But I’m staying and an Elder Paul is coming (hopefully a Paul Hatch). He’s been on his mission for 13 transfers and is American but lived in Germany for 6 years before his mission because his dad’s in the military or […]
For New Year’s, we went to a members house and made pizza! That was way fun, then we got dropped off at our apartment at 9 and tried to go to bed…. but fireworks here go ALL night, I can only imagine how it is in the big cities like Berlin! The next morning was […]
(Friday December 26th) I probably made 200 cookies this last week, we took them to less actives and investigators with a joy to the world DVD! We had our ward Christmas party Saturday! It was amazing we had 63 people there! About a billion less actives and only 5 nonmembers, but then at church the […]
I don’t have much time for a big email this week I actually got a lot of emails that I’m trying to reply to … 35 actually. I’m sending home my Christmas card today! Zone conference was like a party! Way fun! I love our President and his wife so much. We had a lunch, […]
This week was great! The story is long but good! We went knocking doors on Thursday (doors is always a last resort) and I was trying to be positive but was still surprised when we got a phone call from a guy named M*****. He is a super educated guy with a law degree, who is fluent […]
All is gut in Minden! It’s just really cold and no one is outside anymore! A problem I’ve found is that we teach a lot of old ladies, and to meet with them we have to have a joint teacher because they’re alone in their house. Unfortunately we only have 5 ward members that will […]
This week we promoted our ward game night to the city of Minden! We got some chalk and wrote in different places in the city challenging me to ping pong! And the winners would get tons of chocolate. We weren’t planning on it being too popular but thought maybe someone would come. Well, we were […]
