Met a guy coming back from P Day last week who somehow took the wrong train to Wuppertal trying to get home to Hamburg. We helped him buy a ticket and he knew about mormons and missionaries. Like he knew everything, had a convo with him, gave him the Wuppertal elders number in case he had anymore interest and he went on his way. Two nights ago he called Elder Webster and was like “I got home and randomly my Book of Mormon was out and it was right after I met you guys, you guys don’t believe in coincidences do you?” Haha he proceeded to ask what the baptismal questions are and he maybe wants to meet with the Hamburg elders. And get this.... Elder Webster’s best friend from home is the zone leader serving in Hamburg (Berlin mission) way cool story.
Friday we had a finding activity in Wuppertal and these Peruvian Indians set up shop in the middle of the mall place and played their music. I stopped buy and bought two of their cd’s hahahaha they’re incredible. After they stopped playing we talked to them for a while and they ended up all taking Book of mormons hahaha we were way pumped! One guy added me on Facebook and messaged me.
Who would’ve thought I’d be talking to Peruvians in Germany in german? You can’t make this stuff up! #missiontrip
They also taught us some Incan. We were like holy crap these guys are just straight descendants from the Book of Mormon
We had some really cool lessons with investigators this week that we are hoping and praying finally come to church! We also did a ton of Area Book work because we both felt that it needed to be done and we found 4 old investigators that want to meet again so we are stoked! One of the ladies is a Jehovas Witness that hasn’t been contacted since 2005 and I called her and asked her if she remembered us and wanted to meet again and she said “Actually my 46 year old daughter passed away last night so my life and family are a mess right now.” I was shook! I was like well we are praying for you and if there is anything you need let us know. She was way thankful and was like after this funeral and craziness is done let’s meet up again.
Plan of Salvation anyone.....? #miracles
Last weekend we fasted for people to come to church and we were bummed when nobody did. We thought for sure! One of our investigators got sick the morning of and couldn’t make it. But Monday morning we got a call from my trainer in a neighboring area who said a less active who actually belongs to our ward (Solingen) randomly showed up to church with his step son who’s 16 that isn’t baptized and they are wondering what church to go to. We called them and they’re coming to Solingen Ward this week! Skkrrrtttt! Hahaha so ends up someone from our ward came to church they just went to the wrong ward we are wayyyyy excited and thankful. The lord has just been working crazy miracles and blessing us these past couple weeks.
That’s all I got for this week. No crazy stories haha. I’m nervous for transfers but I know it’ll all be good! I’m so blessed to have the privilege to be a servant of the Lord here in Germany! I’ve never worked harder or struggled more in my life but I’ve also never been happier. Funny how that works huh? Just because we go through hard things doesn’t mean we can’t still be happy. It’s just all part of the process. Believe and have faith in your journey and your personal process. God has a plan for you and he loves you. Rely on him and trust him.
Love you guys! Thanks for all the support, means a ton.
Have a good week
