Hey everyone!
Well this week was pretty good, but man I am pooped! Im also pooped because I just played like 4 hours of basketball.. Im getting my Jumper shot down though.. Watch out dad! We had 23 appointments fall out! Like everyday we had 2 or 3 fall out.. It was crazy. so we just had to buckle down and do some finding, but we did some pretty legit finding. We found some really golden people..
But yeah on Tuesday, we met with my J-Dub brotha patrick. Pretty much some jehova witnesses sucked him into there religion and he knows its wrong so he wants us to show him everything thats wrong with the Jdub church so he can tell the elders thats why he is leaving.. So we have some pretty good conversations, and its totally not bashing which I just love. Just straight up teaching. Then we met my buddy Kai. This guy is legit, he is like 24 and told us god wants him to be a preacher.. So I was like sweet, well teach you everything and set you up so you can go on a mission hahah He thought that was pretty funny. But yeah he is moving right along, got some crazy ideas, but who doesnt!
Wednesday, was just beautiful....... we had every appointment fall out but we were able to find 5 golden people and especially this dude from chile!! He is awesome, his brother is a member in Chile and he has heard nothing but good things about our church, so were gonna visit him tonight.. Oh yeah and this crazy lady, like flipped out at me haha I didnt even get out church of jesus christ before she yells, Ich weiß wo Ich bin! ( I Know where Im at!) and keeps yelling it.. One it doesnt make anysense haha and two who just keeps yelling stuff down the street, Na Ja but the very next person was cool and we made out an appointment.
Thursday we met with our crazy chinese friend Lin. He can barely speak german and wants to learn English, so were trying our best to teach him but he is just all over the place! haha But its fun, I like to mess with him.. Friday We were jammed pack finally! Went from app. to app. Had a awesome first lesson with Herr Meyer, even though he insisted on listening to the beetles the whole time, but I can dig it! haha Then met some cool families from China, they fed us and we got to watch some soccer with them. Way fun evening.
Saturday, we went to lunch with this lady named Cindy. She is from Jamaica and was in the olympics for high pole jump in the early 90s.. She is so cool, she is going through a divorce and wanted to talk with us about it.. So we gave her some good advice and she was way happier after that.. What can I say, E. scholes and I we just have that charm! lol
And finally sunday, just a normal day, I didnt have to translate! Thank goodness...E. Walter did that, but ill do it next week lol But we had our normal sunday eating appointment and then met with a crazy Buhda dude and we pretty much destroyed him with questions about budha.. Ex. He told us about how people who read budhas bible and they obey it will be saved and so I asked him what about the people who were born before budha, Then he was like I could say the same thing to you,, what happens to the people who were born before christ.. I said, this is what we call the Old Testament.. hahaha It was hilarious you just had to have been there..
But yeah Im doing great, Hamburg is beautiful.. and My companion is great.. Life is good!
Love you all
