Hey everybody!!
Well it´s been another crazy awesome week in Darmstadt!! We have had some crazy things going on and It´s been so amazing to be a part of this experience!! Monday was a great P-Day!! We were able to get a couple termins in before we went to bed. Also, I was able to give out two Books of Mormon on my own this week!! Crazy awesome!! The first time we were just walking along trying to contact people and I was asking Elder Bonzo for some tips on how I should contact people (he is a really good contacter) as we were talking I looked to my left and had the distinct impression that I should talk to the man walking past us, so right in the middle of Elder Bonzo talking I took off and went and asked the guy if he knew the book that I was holding in my hands XD bahahaha I felt pretty crazy but the spirit prompts us when he knows we are ready and when he has a job. You can imagine how crazy it was for me when I was speaking clearly and understanding everything that he was saying!! So toll!! I think I just about lost it when we had a termin scheduled and had given him the book of mormon bahahaha like a boss!!! He didn´t end up showing up sadly but heck, I gave out that book! That´s a good start!! The next day we ended up doing some more contacting when we went on a split, Elder Bonzo and I were together and I was just contacting everyone I could get a hold of. We got rejected a lot and I was thinking that we should try a different area when I had the same prompting again on a guy walking way out of my way, so like any proper missionary who has new clue what he is doing I chased after him ;) naw, not really, but I did approach him and we started talking and found out that he was catholic and that he was very interested in our book. We exchanged numbers and we´re going to call him probably tomorrow, i´m not sure yet. Then later after some more rejections I had the same impression again. It´s really interesting because it´s not some mind blowing thing, it´s like my body decides for me that I am going to talk to a person because as I am walking over I am like "what in the world am I doing?" bahahaha it´s such a blast though. This lady was named Jasmine. She is a student and I was able to get everything with her on my own. Elder Bonzo had helped on the last one a lot so that doens´t count hahaha but it was just such a great experience!!! Then later on this week I had the chance to participate in the blessing of one of the older guys in our ward. His name is Bruder Warnka. I guess that he has been feeling really sick and really weak and I had the chance to participate in seeing this man be healed. After he recieved his blessing he had the strength to do everthing that needed to be done and when we met with him again on Sunday he was happy and so thankful to us for the blessing and he said that he felt amazing!! The Priesthood power is really God´s Authority on this Earth. I saw it and I can´t tell you how amazing it is!! hahaha he wasn´t running any marathons after he got up ;) but it was amazing to see that the Lord gave him the strength to complete the tasks that he needed to complete. I am so grateful that I was able to participate in that!! So amazing!! The work has really been hauling along in the ward. We have been working really hard and I think that the ward actually likes us so that´s a bonus XD We go to a members house and she always has a bunch of pretzels for me because she knows that I like them hahaha She also is going to make some "berliners" for us. It´s like a cream filled doughnut...but better!! Guess she is going to stuff them with Nutella too! Oh ya!! So tasty!! There have been some really good deals on chocolate here...I now weigh 195 about...gotta love it!! hahaha don´t worry I refuse to let myself get fat on the mission!! I also have a crazy newfound interest to learn more about the history of the Americas, especially with the Incan, Mayan, Aztec, etc. It´s so cool to see how the Book of Mormon and the prophecies in it are really being fulfilled! I just can´t get enough of it! Too cool!! Thanks everyone for being such great supports!!! This mission has really been an absolute blast and I have loved every second of it...even through the hard parts, I have had the comfort of the Lord and also the comfort of family and friends. Thanks for everything all of you! You´re all wonderful!!! I pray for you daily! Elder Lee
