Yep, its me again..This week was a good week! We were able to make out 9 new appointments with people..It was way awesome.. Hey who knew, a little hard work pays off! haha
So this week we do quite a bit! On monday we had a family home evening activity with the Keil Familia! They are so cool! and Sister Keil, is the daughter of Elder Kopischke from the quorum of the 70! Way cool family. So we taught the family about the promptings of the holy ghost.. but since they have 3 young kids, we decided the last thing they want to do, is listen to us just give a lesson the whole time.. so we came up with a cool activity! So We made the dad play heavenly father and he went and hid upstairs and we made the mom the holy ghost, who is going to guide the blind folded kids! Then Schwester Keils brother was there so we made him the world.. And the goal was to listen to the spirit to get back to our heavenly father...and the world would try to tempt them and lead them astray... which actually happened a couple a times haha pretty funny! but not a bad idea huh? E. Christiansen & I came up with that! but that was way fun.
Tuesday I was on splits with a golden.. He is like 1 week out of the MTC... so that was interresting.. He wanted to take control of our day, so I let him... and I let him fall on his face a couple times before I started to take over the Reins haha It was fun to watch.. I realized though how far I have come since I was a golden.. It was actually pretty cool.. because sometimes I think my german is horrible but then im like uhh i only started speaking German 6 months ago and now i can pretty much better not fluent but ya know... people can understand me lol but yeah we had to get to an appointment that was like a 45 min. bike ride and so i followed him assuming that he had been there before but nope... we went 45 min in the other direction hahah so I had to call the person and explain lol.. that was funny... well actually at the time it sucked because there was wind blowing at us the whole time so it was way hard to pedal! I guess the wind always has to blow at us just because were missionarys! haha
Wednesday I we went to this hispanic ladies house! I was so happy!! because she made us mexican food! YEAH! haha I miss it so much haha but she imports good mexican food and I told her I love Carne Asada so she is making that for us next week! Woo Hoo! haha
Thursday, Friday and Saturday were ppretty much the same because we had alot of finding haha Saturday though we had a awesome miracle happen.. It was like 9 at night and were making our way back from the innenstadt ( Innner part of the city) and this kid like 20 years old starts walking towards us.. and im like oh great here we go.. what kind of smart allec remark does he want to say... but then he asked if we could speak german and if we talk about jesus.. and so we said yes and he pulled out one of our cards that he got 3 months ago and said I had an appointment and i was supposed to get a book and talk more about gods plan... but my dad went into the hospital that day so i couldnt make it.. can I still get the book? .... We were blown away because the spirit was so strong and we didnt even teach anything.. so it was sweet we made out an appointment and yeah that was the miracle on Becker Straße!
For church E. Christensen and I taught the primary kids about prayer.. that was cool and then we visited like 5 inactive members.. so it was a busy day.. I had such a bad headache! haha but yeah it was a cool week. Well thats all I got!
Schöne Woche
