Week 66

Was a 7 day week this one.

Not one I would be hyped to relive but if I had to then whatever.

Saturday got a call from sisters telling us their new convert just got wrecked by her friend that is totally against the church. So we went down and figured all of that out. Climbed up this huge scaffolding and got yelled at by so many people. Crazy day. Never seen anything like I saw on Saturday. Satan is very real. But we praying this girl comes back and remembers the feelings of the spirit she had. 

I turn 21 this week if anyone wants to go get an alcohol free beer hit me up 

Sunday had some sisters bawling on the phone all night, also got asked to give another talk next Sunday. (Perks of the second councilor hating you)

Monday there was a terrorist hostage attack at the train station here in Cologne so President called us like super worried. Tuesday Bernhard called us and said he isn’t going to be baptized right now because of his health. So we are praying for him. Then a train in front of us coming home that night caught on fire so we had to blast out of there. 

Yesterday we set a baptismal date with our friend Parish. She is a single mom from Iran who is an absolute homieeeee. She will be getting baptized middle of November.

 

Moral of the story is agency is real, God isn’t going to babysit us. We are all grown up people who can make decisions for ourselves. Of course, he would love if we all chose the right and stayed on the straight and narrow. When we do that he literally blesses us more than we can imagine. 

Satan is also real and is hastening his work too. So I guess I really learned that it is a choice every day who we are going to follow and where our hearts are set.

God is very real. We are all his children and he loves us regardless of anything. He just wants what is best for us. He sent his son as a sacrifice so that it would be possible for us to be with him again. Up to us if we will take advantage of that or not.

Life is good. Positivity and light chase darkness.

Have a good week. Peace
