Hamburg

It was a fun week, the downside was I was sick for most of it, but it
still was a lot of fun.

On Tuesday we traveled to Hamburg for my nice little 6 hour meeting, and
it was actually pretty good, we read from the scriptures, did role
plays, talked about the Savior – so pretty much all that a good meeting
should have. After the meeting I had an exchange with Elder Winter
from American Fork, and after the busy day, we picked up some Burger
King.

The next day Elder Winter and I went and visited a less active member
that we heard was pretty cool. Turns out he’s now an atheist that’s in a
heavy metal band. At first we didn’t know what to expect because he’s
this pretty big guy all covered in tattoos. But he was just a lovable
nice guy! He had a really nice apartment and we talked for a long
time. He said he wasn’t going to come back to church, but he said if
he did, it would be back “to the Mormons.” Haha
I was again reminded to never judge somebody right off the bat, because
you never know what you are going to get, it’s like a box of
chocolates or something…

At the end of our day we hit the streets going by contacts. We decided
to talk to this guy, turns out he’s from the Netherlands, has a
Book of Mormon, and had looked into our religion before. Elder Winter
and I didn’t do anything special, just bore simple testimony like we
always do. It was a cool moment to give someone Pure testimony about
the restoration, because when brought to the hearts of the elect it is
the key to conversion.

I’m grateful for all my friends and family. It’s really nice to know
that I always have some love being sent from home. 😉
