This week was just absolutely insane! I loved it!! So to start things off we ended up having the activity part of our P-Day moved to Saturday so that we could go to the temple. What a wonderful experience that was. I absolutely love the temple. There is just such a spirit there and I love being able to experience the things I talk about every single day. So on Monday we had decided to try and go by on George again because it has been really difficult to get a hold of him as he has been working double shifts at work for a very long time. On the way back from Emails we ended up running into him on the street. We were able to schedule an appointment with him and he was really excited about it! Sadly, it fell out later on because he got called in to go to Berlin for some Paperwork...Germans love paperwork...just so you know hahaha.
We then went to our good old Brother Dörschner for our weekly appointment and had a blast playing some games and then sharing a spiritual thought on a talk by President Monson on Attitude. Great talk, I would recommend it. On Tuesday we ended up having all of our appointments fall out and so we were going to go see some less active members and we ended up running into an Investigator by the name of Prince. He was completely high...bahahahaha but at least he was excited to see us XD The girl that was with him wasn´t to happy to see us so we scheduled an appointment to come back an hour later so she could leave...we should´ve just taught them but ah well. Came back and he answered but sounded worse than before and then we couldn´t find him soooooo ya.
We then ended up running into one of the YSA´s and ended up talking for an hour and teaching a lesson so that was great! And then we ended up meeting with another member at the end of the night so all in all, it was a good day. Wednesday was great, we had a couple great appointments with Less Actives. One of them is a part member family so we are working hard with the Father and the daughter. We´ll see how it goes. The sister we are working with keeps telling us that her daughter loves us but that she especially likes it when I am around, must be my charming smile...XD lol! Thursday was the really special part of the week though. We ended up having a really great Zone Training. Our Zone Leader ended up calling everyone to repentance which I really enjoyed and then we went out and did some crazy intense finding.
We ended up chalking the Plan of Salvation by a big Church. There were tours going on all around the place and so I just started contacting everyone with my companion for the day. Elder Muller. He´s awesome. I ended up talking with a lot of people and being laughed at by even more but there were a couple really awesome experiences that I want to share. One of them came in the form of a man who was 80 years old. He seemed really quite sad as he was walking by and he ended up stopping and looking at our drawing. Que to go, we pounced on him like lions that hadn´t even for a month...okay, probably not that intense but as we started talking with him he started to cry and just started to tell us how his wife had died and he was going to just go hang himself so that he could be with her again. The testimony i ended up bearing about Eternal Families and the Plan that God had for all of his children was spoken by through the Power of the Spirit. I´m pretty sure for those 20 minutes I spoke perfect German.
Something that rarely happens with me haha It was quite spectacular watching the change come over that man and the excitement that he felt. By the end he was telling us that he was going into the Church to pray for his wife etc. We tried to get his number or address but he didn´t want to give out his address to strangers but he said that he wanted to give the Elders a call so we gave him our card and so I pray that he actually does call them. I then got to speak with a girl who was very well versed in Theology. It was great!! We ended up talking for around 30 minutes. We had such an awesome conversation and she took the Book of Mormon and said she was going to read through it. She was incredibly smart as well, I was really quite impressed. I told a couple other missionaries that she is going to be a relief society president. Called it. Just watch lol. There were so many more people and so many cool exchanges but I just wanted to talk about those two because they were both just so awesome!! We then finished the activity with some singing. It was great to just sing some church songs in the middle of tons of people milling about. Great way to get people to look at you and your stuff haha Afterwards we got some ice cream and headed back home to Karlsruhe. We then had Soccer the next day and the best Lunch appointment ever! Sister Meyer! She cooks the most wonderful German food and it just makes my mouth water thinking about it.
She is so cool! Wonderful appointment...Soccer was awesome as well. We then had to go back and get our Weekly Planning and then changed for some service at the Inactives house I talked about earlier. I got sent behind the shed to work on some stuff and the daughter kept coming back there so I called Elder Jensen over and he helped me finish everything. We then had a great dinner and shared our spiritual thought and then the Father took us home and so we finished off the night with some planning. Saturday and Sunday went amazingly well because of the Temple trip and then Church. We ended up having a couple guys in the Elders Quorum start arguing over some really unimportant things. It got pretty heated and one of them started saying some pretty insulting things about members and the missionaries. That was awkward. Luckily everyone else in the Elder´s Quorum says they really like us so now we just have to figure out how to work this other guy around. Either way we also had some really great investigator lessons this week and we ended up having some really amazing contacts and investigators in church. We ended up finding another Black, French Speaking man who wants to come to the church. FUFU contacting. Stuff is genuis. I hope everyone has a wonderful week! Love and miss you all!
Tschüss!
Elder Lee
Okay, so the temple trip is in there. Frau Pfeifer, the short Spanish lady is one of the investigators. Schwester Schüster is our awesome Member who helps us teach her. Then there is Sister Meyer and the awesome food she cooked for us. Stuff was absolutely amazing and we got a ton of it. I then ran into an old family I knew in Darmstadt on Thursday. Glyndor is one of the less actives we had worked with. He is so awesome.
