This week was pretty usual. Did a ton of finding and the humidity is relentless. We had a lesson Saturday morning with Beatrice by the train station. She was way confused on all the names in the Book of Mormon so for personal Study I mapped out Lehi’s and his whole family and all of the defendants so she is never lost when she is seeing all of these names and stories. She’s really awesome and has a sweet spirit. She prays everyday and tries to read. Her son has some disabilities and her mom has cancer so she has been through a ton. Pray for Beatrice
We had a homie we found from Syria also show up to church. His german is limited and he has grown up Muslim so Church was really different for him hahaha but he’s a funny guy. Monday we had a lesson with this guy and it was a great first lesson and everything but at the end he digs into his bag and whips out his bible like it’s Excalibur or something and is like this is the only book I believe in. Nobody can add or take away from this book. And I just looked at him and was like dude did you listen to anything we just said and talked about. I quoted the Bible like 10 times in the last 10 minutes. It was a funny experience.
I could go on with a lot more this week but I found this week in the end people just want to be loved. I saw a quote somewhere that said “we are loved when we are born and we are loved when we die, but in between it is up to us how people view and feel about us.”
From the 19 October conference Richard b Wirthin said “Yes, who we are is the sum of all the choices we make. We should always remember that our choices do not begin with the act, but in the mind with the idea. As a poet stated, “Sow a thought, and you reap an act; sow an act, and you reap a habit; sow a habit, and you reap a character; sow a character, and you reap a destiny.”
I’d encourage you all to read this talk “four absolute truths provide an unwavering compass”
Also Germany doesn’t celebrate Father’s Day like we do so I forgot. But happy Father’s Day to all the fathers out there and especially mine! Shaun dog has taught and provided me with so much over the years and I am so grateful for him. As well as my father in heaven.
Have a good week!
