Week 39 - "Missionaries aren’t funny"

Not a lot of time but I’m going to try and recap this week fast!

Friday Elder Augat turned 20!! Taught some lessons on the university and then went to lunch at a say yummy german place. He ordered dessert and after tasting a slight hint on alcohol in the fruit we found out that yes it was vodka. Hahah #classic

Saturday we moved an investigator (Gustaf) and he is so dope! Freaking Plane designer who is 45 and has a way cool family and he is basically a Mormon but he doesn’t want to read the Book of Mormon. Then we taught another first lesson with a different investigator.

Sunday was fast Sunday then we had a member appointment and then we went to a free Christian Church that he goes to. We walked in there and just the entire place was coming up to us like what are you doing? Was such a testimony builder. The church was really modern and nice and felt like an LDS church but they had a band and honestly the church had no direction. I’m so glad for the restoration of the true gospel and prophets and apostles that lead us. 

Monday we had a member appointment and they are awesome. Grow their own food and chickens and all that stuff and live in the mountains. Made home made leather covers for my german Bible. I also found out I am not funny. One of the daughters was like “look I’m making a circle!” And I was like “ haha just like a Bible circle” I thought it’d be a way funny reference especially in German (at this point I was waiting for laughter from everyone because I was laughing) I then looked at Elder Augat and he was dying laughing and said “that was such a missionary joke man, we must be going crazy.” Story is, I thought it was hilarious and it just wasn’t. Missionary jokes aren’t funny, I’ve been out here so long and I think that was a good sign for me haha

Tuesday were interviews with President he is an animal! I love that man!

Wednesday was zone conference and I got to see a ton of buddies! Elder Warr, Klein, Bringhurst, Bradshaw, Webster, Chamberlain, Larson just all the boys. Loved it. Talked a lot about the spirit. 

Today we had a fun day in Nürnberg and did a ton of shopping and bought myself a liederhose. Pictures to come in the next email!
I love this gospel and I love being a missionary even though some days I feel like I get nowhere with nobody, if god wanted to he could do all the work on his own but that would mean that I have no opportunity for growth and experience.
I’ve been thinking a ton about what President Nelson said about personal revelation and how he said there will soon be a time where if you are not in tune with the spirit and know how to receive personal revelation you will basically be lost.
Review conference it was amazin!
I send Elder Augat home next week and am way sad but I learned a ton from him. He was an amazing missionary in this mission.
I get a new company next week so we will see how that goes!
