Dear mom,
What a week! We were able to experience two miracles!! First, we have
been a man from China, Jim. He was making amazing progress, and is so
receptive to the spirit. He was rock solid and accepted and prayed
about everything we taught him. But for the last month we lost contact
with him. He wouldn't answer his phone when we called and wouldn't
reply to txt... It was super lame, but then I called him on my phone
this last week, because he didn't have my number saved, and we got a
hold of him!! He told us that the commandments were just too hard to
follow, and that he didn't think he could do it... So we told him,
that of,course it was hard, especially when you have only known about
them for a month haha! So,we decided to take things easy with him. We
were able to get him to meet up with us and we played basketball
together. Then we talked about our families and we showed each other
pictures of our hometowns! He really enjoyed the time we spent hanging
out. I think it was really good for him to see us just being there as
his friend, not just missionaries. We will start teaching him again
soon! Pray for Jim to be strong in his faith, and stay true to the
answers he has received! Then Elder Hunt came into town for Austausch!
It was really fun to be able to work with Elder Hunt again! He is a
great guy. But when we were together we were trying to get a hold of
Bruder Heuer, because his phone no longer works, which means we have
to go to his house and call for his name, it's kinda complicated
because of where he lives... But anyhow, we went and Bruder Heuer
wasn't home, so we went back to the Ausstellung on KÖNIGSTRASSE and
within 2 mins Bruder Heuer was there! What a miracle! We were then
able to meet with him, and teach him, he has forgotten basically all
doctrine we have taught him, but he remembers the spirit he felt when
he met with us! So we are going to just start building from there
again! He is super excited to be back in church again. He is such a
good guy, I just hope his brain tumor gets better! Love you so much
and I am grateful for all you have done for me! And that will work out
with the 12th of June being my homecoming no worries! I am just glad I
will be there for the wedding! Love you guys! Have a great week!!
