This past week was
crazy!! A couple of days we had appointments before 10, which means leaving
apartment pretty early... We were able to visit quite a few people, members,
and non-members!! Quick overview into life in Salzburg:
Monday: We had an FHE
appointment with a member, and it was a ton of fun!! We played a game with dice
and guessing how many numbers will show up each round. It was explained to us
in German, and I am bad with understanding games in English, so I learned as we
played. It was really fun, and I was the last missionary in the game, so…
Tuesday:
We had Distrikt meeting, always a highlight. I felt like we learned quite a bit
from talking and it was refreshing to meet with other missionaries, and to hear
how they are doing, and to try and help each other. We also had an appointment
with one of our progressing investigators. It ended up being a service project,
but that is fine too.
Wednesday: Crazy day
number 1! Our first appointment for the day was supposed to be at 10, and we
had planned back-to-back appointments (four appointments total). Three of the
people were able to meet, and that was so cool! It was fun; we were able to go
visit a member who broke her foot and she was so cute and helping us get to
know the ward better. And we showed her the new Easter video! (Have you watched
it yet? No? Go watch it at mormon.org!) We also met with a little old
lady who showed us pictures of her grandkids (and we know one of her grandsons,
so it was really funny). She is so cute!
Thursday: What even
happened? We had three appointments, which all went longer than we hopped for,
but that is okay! We had an appointment with a referral, and he only speaks
Persian. So we spent two hours explaining Jesus Christ and how we can find
answers through prayer, I now have a Persian keyboard on my tablet if anyone
needs one, ha ha. We are also teaching a member German and that is super
fun!
Friday: We had weekly
planning and we had a member lunch appointment with three super cute kids!!! We
also met a person on the street when passing out cards, and she invited us to
her birthday dinner Saturday night!
Saturday: We passed out
cards to share (#princeofpeace) and shared the peace of Easter and then we went
to our new friends birthday dinner. It was really fun, talking to and getting
to know new people!
Sunday: Two of our
progressing investigators came to church!!!! We were super busy with that,
helping members to introduce themselves, and sit with them (this ward is
amazing), and helping them understand and feel comfortable!! It was the most
fun Sunday ever!!! It was great!! Tiring but amazing!!! Then a random
guy we talked to on the street showed up for Sunday School and
invited us over for dinner. Unfortunately we couldn't go, and now he isn't
answering us. But we had two people at church and we meet the older kids of one
of them!!! It was amazing!!
I just want to invite
you all this week to take some quiet time. This life is so busy and either
spend it with family or alone. But read in the scriptures or go outside on a
nature walk. Spend some time, maybe 15 minutes or more, and just see God's hand
in your life. I have come to KNOW that God loves me as I have noticed Him in
the small moments of my life!
Alles Liebe
