Fam and friends, aloha!
This week has been good. Sorry for the pictures, they are just random.
I think the one with the green tie was my first week here.
Elder Golden and I don't really take pictures because we are always just
working so hard. haha jk This next week I will try to be better.
This week was dope. We helped a part member family move from Frankfurt
to Hanau on Saturday.
Sunday church was awesome and my homie, Brother Klein came to church
again! We also had a good lesson with him this week. He hasn't been to
church in like 4 years but in the last month he has come twice but he
thinks that the missionaries his wife and god are all he needs but we
tried to explain how important the sacrament and the ward is for him
but he is solid.
Monday, we had a split to I went to Wetterau with Elder Guymon; he is a
crack up. It ended up being a two day split so I didn't get back to
hanau until Wednesday afternoon but we did a ton of contacting in
Wetterau and had a really good lesson with an investigator. Heaps of
rejection this week but I contacted a girl that went to Lone Peak
in 2009-2010 I was like what the freak but she was way cool! We also
did a "weeding service" for a member family in Wetterau that was
actually us just hacking at huge tree stumps for 3 hours in their back
yard getting those out and I got wrecked by mosquitoes and dripping
sweat but they fed us so all is well. Also the Wetterau apartment has
a broken shower so it's like a little sprinkle of water occasionally in
the shower haha.
Missions are hilarious I wish I could put everything in my weekly
emails but its so much that I just forget it all. Germans are
hilarious. The language and culture go so well together just like hard
nose, hard working and bland but I am learning to love it. My comp is a
crack up we have a good time together.
Idk what else to say... Got my hair cut by a Turkish dude today and had
no idea how to say what I wanted so I look like a hard core Turkish man
now but it's chill.
I encourage listening to Elder Hollands talk
"An high priest of good things to come" I think is what it is.
Recently, I have just been focusing on hope and faith, especially with
the language and the personal goals I have. Sooo many times the
scriptures talk about faith and hope and following the
commandments and that is all we need to do and then God just comes in and lays
down the miracles in front of us. I know that Jesus Christ is our
Savior and he lives. He is involved in our daily lives. Read in the
BOM and pray every day and just be a good person with faith and hope
and we will see miracles. Even in the darkest times of our lives. I
love you all and I love missionary work.
Machts güt mine freundin!!!
