Mormonism is Optimism

Berlin again last week… This time we had to wake up at 4 so it was a bit of a long day. But because our train got to Berlin at 7, we had some time to do some sightseeing. We went to the Brandenburger tour, not very many tourists out at 8 so it was a cool sight to see. We also passed the French Embassy.

Thanksgiving was a little different – last year was McDonald’s, this year our ward mission leader took us to a Chinese buffet, and told us stories of when he was a mission president and such.

A little miracle we saw on Friday was as we were doing some street contacting we talked to a Russian lady and she told us “I was wondering when one of you would talk to me, I’ve seen you and other people like you walking around the city and none of you have talked to me yet!” Moral of the story, we have an appointment tomorrow and I’m pumped!

I’m grateful for the peace that the gospel brings to the soul, no matter the circumstances, it’s always there.
