Hey Everyone!
 
 Oh man this week was just awesome. We had quite the experiences, in terms of Bible bashing.. and for all of you who dont know.. I hate Bible bashing, I really do but you know some people you just have to humble and this week there were 2 lucky candidates... 

 So we have an investigator named Kai.. He is 22  and wants to become a pastor.. But he has really never read the bible as from what I can tell and never wants to go to church.. he said he isnt a church go-er.. so were kinda confused on how we he wants to become a pastor and not go to church.. But yeah we brought a joint teach named Brüder Waterböhr and let me tell you, he just put a smack down on! Oh man, like I would teach the dude certain principles and like totally show him things out of the bible and what not, then he would disagree and Brüder Waterböhr would just come out with crazy stuff and just,, well there is no easy way to put but just destroy him haha But like it was such a great lesson like he totally understands preisthood and what not, and he is now really interested in our religion.. 

 Then Elder Scholes & I had a walk-in with this girl who was like 24 years or something.. But she like just wanted to bash the whole time and I told her, you know I dont like Bible battles and she told me well thats how we study scriptures.. So...well... we did this thing... and lets just say she is going to read the book of mormon now... I have to really say.. I know the New Testement pretty dang good.. Never thought I'd brag about knowing the scriptures but yes Im proud of myself haha. But it was such a sweet lesson and it got to a point where she realized we knew what we were talking about and stopped flipping to scriptures and just listened quietly, and the spirit was so dang strong! So sweet.. So sometimes I guess bashing has to be but I still hate it..

 Friday was crazy though! We had a huge storm.. Like it rained so hard like It just look like someone was pouring endless buckets out of the sky.. Like everyone was hiding... We wound up being stranded in a Subway for an hour because the rain was so strong..I took a video but it really doesnt show it any justice, but you can definitely hear it.. and there was also a ton of lightning..

Oh yeah and between all this bible bashing and storms, I was super sick.. Like wednesday night, I slept like 2 hours total, I had a huge headache and my head was just totally congested.. It was probably the longest night of my mission.. but I got over it.. But I was out for like 2 days.. Like we went to our appointments and tried to make some at the church but because of the weather, going out and contacting was just not worth it.. But I tried my best.. 

But This week should be awesome.. Thursday we have Zone Conference, Friday Im going back to Berlin for Anna's Baptism ( So next week Ill send pictures of the 3  people we baptized in Eberswalde, Harald, Charles and Anna, Then On Saturday I get to go back to my golden city.. Glückstadt and do a service project! Im so excited, Its been a year since Iv been there! crazy!.. So yeah this week is gonna fly! I hope you guys will have as great week like I'll have! 
Alles Gute!
