Hallo Freunde,
First of all, HAPPY
HALLOWEEN!!!! Although, it is not an official holiday here, it is
still widely celebrated as a day to party.
With the title for today,
we have received the challenge to talk to 10 people every day and then report
of our mission president. Well in this endeavor, I started talking to this lady,
and it started a fun conversation with her and the lady across from us. We
talked about why I was here and the language. And Sister Woolsey and I were
joking afterwards that Germans are so nice and tell us how good our German is
even good when we have hardly said anything, haha. It was a really fun
conversation anyway!!
So this week well, we
visited a member, whom we visit regularly on Thursday and
she unfortunately got us both sick. So since Saturday we
have been playing everything by ear and sleeping a whole bunch. We are really
grateful daylight savings was this last weekend for
Germany because we got an extra hour of sleep!! We were also blessed to have a
member help us out yesterday morning by meeting us at the grocery store and
helping us grab all the right ingredients to make homemade soup (a German specialty
for when you’re sick) and then he guided us through making it through text
messages, so sweet.
Before, on
Wednesday, we were able to help a less-active for a few hours by putting
together fliers for her business and then we went back on Saturday, and
she said next week we could share a spiritual thought!!! Progress!!
Wednesday night we
also visited a member, and she fed us! She is a super sweet older member of our
Ward, very German, haha. It was fun! She even gave us a hug and kiss good
bye!
Thursday we had
dinner and celebrated birthday of a friend of ours, and
then we went for hot chocolate with another friend. It was really good to build a better
relationship with him; he even invited us to come to his family party tomorrow to try Nigerian food! YUM!
On Friday we helped
out at a wedding of a member! We were dish crew! It was
really nice to be able to talk with the other members who were helping out and
to be a small part of this special day for our friend!! I am so happy for her!!
Saturday we gave
away a Book of Mormon to a guy from
Egypt and we were able to explain quite a bit because he did research beforehand.
It was a fun lesson to be able to explain the reason we have the Book of Mormon
and where it came from and then we committed him to read and pray about!! Hopefully
he will feel something when he reads it.
Saturday there was
also a member baptism and it was great to share in that moment
with him! He is a really smart 8 year old, and is so ready!
Last night we ended up
doing splits and having two lessons. The lesson that I went to was SO COOL!!!
We didn't really know what to expect, but we were very happily surprised! So we
are teaching this 7-year-old so she can be ready for her baptism at the request
of her dad. And her dad has a non-member girlfriend who seems to have interest!
We are very excited to keep teaching this family!!
I love and miss you
all!
Sorry, not very many
pictures for today but here is a statue calls Hochsitz, which translates to
high seat.
Alles Liebe
