Holy cow this week has been insane!!! I wish so badly that all of you could be here to experience every moment of it!!! We started off the week with our district meeting on Monday morning so that we could clear up some things with the new transfers that would be happening this week. OUr P-Day was moved to Tuesday so that we could go to the temple but we were still able to do emails! I got your back mom! ;) We then had a really fun P-Day and then we went to one of our investigators named Duane. Bahahaha the "battle" that ensued was pretty epic! We walked in and he´s like "Now ya´ll be my American brothers and we´re in a foreign country and we gotta watch each others backs. So I am here for ya no matter what, but I want you to know that there is no way that I am going to let you take me away from Jesus and my relationship with him...now, let´s begin"...You can imagine what I was thinking XD "Time to smash this guy with the spirit!" hahahaha Elder Bonzo and Elder Bruneel then began quite the "Bible Bash" with this guy. I am not going to lie it got pretty intense. So much so that Elder Bruneel was standing up bearing testimony like Abinadi and Elder Bonzo was riling off scripture left and right. I was just sitting on the water bed couch asking myself how in the world I was going to get everything under control when the water bed broke and soaked my left cheek. Brutal I tell you. I was able to talk a little but Duane would have none of it from any of us. So, I decided to take a roundabout approach. Since I was the only one not standing I decided to stand and speak. I then came in a more roundabout way. I took the man out with LOVE!
Like a boss!! I showed him that we were all saying the same things and there was no reason to be arguing at all etc etc. By the time I had finished Elder Bruneel had picked out a scripture and we committed Duane to read it. He says that he would be happy to and he swears we chased some devils out of the room hahaha We then took off to another appointment which went really well! We went to the Temple on Tuesday and that was great! We ended up in a french session and so I got to wear the special little headphones. I ended up listening in Deutsch and was able to understand about 90 percent of it. The Lord definitely blessed me with the ability to understand what was said. It really was quite the spiritual experience. I absolutely love the temple. What a wonderful place to go and really feel the spirit. If there is a sure way to go feel it I recommend going to the temple, even if it´s just on the grounds! we then came back and had some appointments with Members and Aaron and it was great! Wednesday we ended up taking Elder Lovelace to Frankfurt for the Transfer and so I got to hang with our ward mission leader and them for a while and we ended up going around Frankfurt and I took some pics. I will be sure to send them. Thursday we had mor appointments as well as on Friday. Saturday we did our basketball finding and then Sunday came round and I was so pumped!!
I was able to Baptize Aaron Göring and it was just the most amazing experience!! I wasn´t able to get a picture of Aaron and I in white which I was really disappointed about but I did get some others so I will be sure to send them to Mom and then she can send them out. :) After the baptism we confirmed him on the same day and then there was a huge luncheon for Stake Conference! Then we went to an appointment with the Winstels whom I love, they´re so awesome! Then we went to an investigator appointment. Idk if you all remember AJ but the lesson went incredible. He has committed to being baptised on the 22nd of March and he really wants to go through the temple. He kept saying that everything we were saying was just clicking for him. It really was so awesome!! Well, I am having to end the letter so I can send some pics. Just had to say that this week was pretty crazy. I miss you all so much!! I´m so grateful to be a part of this work! God´s church has been restored!! What a blessing it is to be a missionary and tool in his hands. The effects have changed me and my life forever. Love you all so much!!
Tshcuss!
