Seeing as I still can´t count we´ll just have somebody else fill in the dates for me XD. So this week has just been another insane week!! We have been working like crazy and the Lord has been hearing our prayers. I have a baptism this next Sunday and I am so pumped!! This week started with a really fun P-Day. We ended up having a sport time and we played soccer for 3 hours hahaha so much fun! We then went and took care of some other errands and then we had a couple of appointment. Tuesday and Wednesday were just chalked full of member appointments and Inactive appointments. We have been really trying to work with the inactive members because every lesson we have been having with them have gone super well. We´re thinking that they were just kind of "lost" in the transfers between missionaries and so we´ve been trying to round up the "Lost Sheep" so to say. We also had a cool little Ausstellung this week (street display...it´s a good thing I give you the English Translations because I don´t even think google translate would understand my terrible German spelling hahahaha) Either way I was given some chalk and we drew the plan of Salvation and a bunch of other things. We also set up a t.v. and a little booth and had some church movies running. Then for 3 and a half hours we contacted everyone in sight. It was quite a fun time! I am defintely very practiced with rejection, and I am sure one of you will be happy to let me know that I will be when I return home and start talking with the Ladies but persistance is key ;) We were getting a few appointments and we had given out about 18 Books of Mormon, which is pretty good. My favorite of the night, though, ended up happening with a younger guy. He was walking along the walkway pretty slowly. The cool thing about Germany is they have squares all over the place where cars aren´t allowed and it´s just filled with Trains and Busses that go everywhere so there is quite the thoroughfare going through the area. (This was one of the areas that we were doing our street display) And he stopped to look at the chalking I had done of a tree for family history...he then walked a little bit, stopped and read some more. By this time I noticed him, and the Holy Ghost just started telling me to go talk to him. I was pretty nervous because my Deutsch is getting a lot better every day but it definitely is still not where I want it to be at all hahaha but I took courage in the fact that the Lord was with me and started walking towards him, I called for sister Lyons since she was in the pathway between me and him and we walked over and I just started talking with him. He said he had work (this is where persistance comes in) and never taking no for an answer I said it would only take a few seconds. I then talked about how the Book of Mormon had helped me so much in my life and how I was out in Deutschland sharing it with others because I knew how great of a book it was. I then ended up bearing testimony to this guy and he was just eating it up! He then asked if he could have it and some biker rode by and just threw it on the ground!!! I couldn´t believe it!!!!........okay, the biker didn´t really do anything like that bahahahaha. I actually ended up giving him the book, we talked more about it, and he asked us for our contact information and said he really was so excited to read. His name is Daniel and he really is an awesome kid!! Hopefully we can get things going with him. We´ll see! I also ended up giving a blessing this week and the spirit was really powerful. I just love being a missionary. The closeness that I feel with the Holy Ghost is just so epic. Becoming an instrument in the Lord´s hands and seeing how much bigger things are than the little things that we tend to get stuck in really has blown me away. Well, I have been on for quite a while and so now I must go! You all are so wonderful! This gospel is true and time is just flying. I wish I could write more! So much more is going on but I hope that what I have written will suffice. Love you all so much!!!
Tschuss!!
