This last week has been so solid! We had a lesson at Kevin’s house(our investigator on baptismal date.) He made us dinner and we had an awesome lesson. Afterward, he didn’t sleep at all Saturday night and he still came to church the next morning! Haha! I was laughing my head off because he was in a full suit just sweating from riding his bike to church and he didn’t even sleep the night before! Ah man, he is just awesome and he stayed all 3 hours of church and didn’t even take a smoke break, even though he really wanted to! Keep our man, Kev, in your prayers!
Missions are so crazy! I can’t even describe it in an email it is so hard for me. The people I've meet out here and the experiences!! We went to a psychiatric hospital because a man really wanted to pray with him. He’s such a sweet man so we did and while we were walking out of there, I was just like wow I’m so blessed but also... Where the freak can I get the opportunity to do that with someone else in a different country and language other than the friggin mission trip man! Just crazy, fun stuff.
We had interviews with President Boyer on Tuesday but we got stuck at the Frankfurt train station with all of our trains falling out so Sister Boyer came in clutch and drove us there AND back. So funny being in a minivan in the middle of Frankfurt. I felt like I was back home with my mom driving around. So funny!
Yesterday during studies, I was just reminded that I can only control myself and what I do. I can’t take away peoples' free agency to make decisions and do things; I can’t control what happens back home, what my friends or people close to me do, and especially the people out here whether they listen to us or not. All I can do is control what I do. It was such a good reminder because one of the greatest gifts we have here on earth is free agency, and with that is how we grow and have experiences that strengthen us. If used in the right way, it brings us closer to our Savior, Jesus Christ, and it makes us a better people in general. Man, I love studying the scriptures just such good stuff!
Also, Elder Bringhurst and I have nothing but good times. I love it so much! I don't know if it will ever hit me that I’m on my mission. It's still so crazy to me.
This next Monday, Elder Ballard is coming to the mission! I guess we are getting Facebook and Facebook messenger in our mission for online proselyting! How crazy is that? Add me as a friend on my normal Facebook because it’ll soon be my Elder Facebook! I’m so pumped to hear from an apostle of the Lord that is specifically speaking to our mission. Can’t wait!
I always feel like an idiot writing these letters. Never know what to say because there is so much that happens in a week but if ya made it this far... thanks!
Thanks for all the emails during the week! They mean the world to me.
Have you all much love!
Bis dan! Tschüss!
Some solid scripts:
Ether 4:15-16
"Behold, when ye shall rend that veil of unbelief which doth cause you to remain in your awful state of wickedness, and hardness of heart, and blindness of mind, then shall the great and marvelous things which have been hid up from the foundation of the world from you—yea, when ye shall call upon...
And then shall my revelations which I have caused to be written by my servant John be unfolded in the eyes of all the people. Remember, when ye see these things, ye shall know that the time is at hand that they shall be made manifest in very deed."
2 Nephi 31:20
"Wherefore, ye must press forward with a steadfastness in Christ, having a perfect brightness of hope, and a love of God and of all men. Wherefore, if ye shall press forward, feasting upon the word of Christ, and endure to the end, behold, thus saith the Father: Ye shall have eternal life."
2 Nephi 2:27
"Wherefore, men are free according to the flesh; and all things are given them which are expedient unto man. And they are free to choose liberty and eternal life, through the great Mediator of all men, or to choose captivity and death, according to the captivity and power of the devil; for he... "
P.s.
