This week has been so hot. Germans for some reason just don’t have air conditioning, so frustrating. I’ve never sweat more in my life. My face is water falling when I hop in trains crammed with people here. We also have nothing but hot water in the apartment. So RIP to ever taking a cold shower again.
Few quick highlights this week.
I got to talk on the phone with some members from Solingen. So sick! Also, shout out to Elder Doman in Spain because he met a member in one of my old wards.
We had an amazing less active lesson this with a great guy here in Köln. One of the more spiritual experiences of my mission.
Went on a split with Elder Felix De Jesu from Brazil and we actually set up a member appointment with some less actives from Brazil and he was in heaven. He is the most Christ-like missionary I’ve ever met. Super humble Brazilian background and I just learned a ton from him. His quote I loved “the mission field is just our training field for life man.”
Gave my testimony and introduced myself in sacrament meeting, made some people laugh and then got asked to give a talk next week. Moral of the story don’t make a German laugh I guess. This ward is sooo german like holy, but they are way good with missionary work so that’s gangster.
Yesterday we set a baptismal date with Bernhard. He is a referral and he just wants to be a Mormon so bad. Saturday he will stop smoking and drinking. We are going over to his place and starting him on the program and cleaning the crap out of his apartment. So that’ll be cool.
This week I learned a ton about God’s timing. We never really know the effect we will have on someone’s life. A tsunami in the ocean starts as a 1-inch high wave and then has the power to destroy a city by the time it gets to the short. I guess the moral of the story is we never know what kind of impact we have on people. Be that bad, or good. Just be good people. Follow Christ and keep the commandments and your covenants. You’ll live a happier, easier life.
