Patience

We found an investigator! He’s a way old dude but we taught him the first lesson and he told us to come back! We honestly weren’t too excited afterward, so l asked “why are we not excited?” Elder Brimhall said “I think it’s because we’re too scared of God humbling us again….” haha I think he’s right. It’s been a long 4 weeks but I’ve learned a lot about patience! The Lord really does work in his own time!

We’re having tons of fun every day! I’ve been studying about Christlike attributes and patience is one I know I can always improve on!

We talked to an Indian guy this week, he brought us into his friend’s cell phone store. A bunch of super Muslim guys sat down with us and they were way cool until the weird questions started coming… They started asking about our papers here, if we can get on US military bases with our passport, then they asked to see our passports because “we’ve never seen one before”. Then we found out a couple we’re from Pakistan, the questions turned into ISIS stuff so we decided to get up and leave… weird stuff.

We’re going to Braunschweig this week, my comps getting his arm checked out cause he broke it last year, so a day back in the WEST! Can’t wait!

We went on austausch (exchanges) this week! I went to Plauen for the day with Elder Headly! He’s been on his mission for 4 weeks so that was interesting! He’s 23 and joined the church last year. He’s from Canada! We took a short cut on a map and walked through a forest! We found a lake and doored a dorf (village) – fun day!

I couldn’t spell “shoe” in English class… so I think that means my German’s getting better! Zwickau is way cool, I love the ward!
