Friends and Family,
Monday: CLEANING CLEANING CLEANING
Tuesday: Zone training!! It was a good one! I was super excited to share the wonderful things we learned at MLC with the Zone! IT was a great Zone training! I love being with other missionaries and just trying to help them help themselves. Now whether or not I am good at that is another question haha;) Then I went on Tausch with Elder Howarth, my MTC comp, but we had to do splits on splits, We had a baptismal interview for Bruder Heuer, and Elder Adam is the DL, so he had to do the interview, but I needed to be there, because it was my investigator, so Elder Howarth went with Elder Donald during Tausch, confusing I know...
Wednesday: Was kinda sick, so Elder Howarth and I didnt get to do too much, and then we tausched back. Elder Hunt and I then proceeded to teach the most amazing lesson on my mission! Her name is Frau Golombeck. We gave her a 5-10 min overview of what we do and teach as missionaries, so she could have the expectation of meetin more with us and so she could have the big picture in front of her, then we told her that we wanted to fill in one of those blurry holes in the big picture today, which we call the plan of salvation. She had lost her three month old daughter earlier in her life and a few other family members. We taught her what the plan was, what our goal was, why we are on the earth, where we are going, and we also told her that children who die are brought into God´s presence, because they are both clean and waiting to be ressurrected. She had asked earlier, "Wo war Gott als mein Kind gestroben ist? Er war nicht für mich da." So we addressed this question when we had taught the full plan. I started off by telling her of my experience with losing my mother when I was 10 and that is was hard for me, but what this plan meant for me, to know that I can and will see her again. I then looked at her in the eyes and told her without a shadow of a doubt, I know where God was when your Child passed away, He was greeting your daughter into His Kingdom, He was there for you and your daughter, and I can promise you, you will be with your daughter again. It was such a powerful experience. She told us afterwards, that she could feel a warm feeling in her chest, and she admitted she was feeling emotional about the topic, and that it was bringing her peace and joy. She asked us we are meeting again to fill in the other pieces to the picture! She is so amazing! When we were saying the opening prayer, I had this overwhelming feeling, that she was someone I was supposed to meet and teach on my mission. I now know why I had that feeling! I cant wait to teach again this week! I will keep you posted! We also taught a wonderful lesson with Bruder Heuer, helping him stay focúsed and true to the commandments so he could get baptized saturday.
Thursday: We went out to a less active who fed us lunch, and we talked about the importance of doing... Hopefully he will start acting on the truths and testimony which he has! I really hope so! We also played some fußball with the Jugendliche!
Friday: Tausch with Elder Werner. We ate food and taught two member families and had a great talk about life and how we can both improve ourselves and that there is no better place than the mission to do it! Or at least that is what I got out of it!
Saturday: Hans Ulrich Heuer got Baptized!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was so great! I am so proud of him making it to the end of his old life and starting on the new life comitted to the gospel of Jesus Christ! He is a great man and I love him so much! He is just amazing!!!!!
Sunday: Bruder Heuer was confirmed, and I was really sick. All I did was go to sacrament meeting just to be there for his confirmation. and then Elder Hunt and I crashed at home later and slept and slept and slept! I am feeling better today, but still a little weary. I am just conjested now. But all is good in ZION!
Love you all!!!!
