SUUUNNN!!!
Today we hiked as a district to the top of a large hill
that overlooked the Ruhr Gebiet, it was a beautiful view and reminded me a lot
about why I am here. Sometimes I still can’t believe that I’m a missionary in
Germany! Once we reached the top we all sat down and had a little spiritual
thought about our purpose as missionaries. What stood out to me was that I choose
to come here. It was my decision and I volunteered. This mission in a small
sense is an analogy of our life on earth. We all chose to come down to earth to
be tested and tried. Are we living up to the potential God sees in us? What
great things does our heavenly father have in store for us if we live up to
become who we were meant to be?
This has been quite a full week. I really hope that I don't
get transferred out of Herne because I feel like there is so much potential
here right now. Early this week we meet once again with Frau Kirch. This
was our first actual appointment with her in her home. We sat and talked with
her for a little bit and then began to teach her about the restoration of the
Gospel of Jesus Christ. I don’t know who was being taught more in that lesson,
her or me. J But whenever I learn something in a
lesson we teach it tells me that the lesson went well because that means we had
the spirit with us. As we were speaking to here I was once again amazed at the
circumstances that had brought us together. Heavenly Father must really have
something great in mind for her and for us.
This week we did a LOT of contacting… because that’s what
you do when all your appointments fall out. It wasn’t bad though- it was a lot
of fun, you know that feeling you get when you have this message about the
coolest thing that has happened to humanity in the last 200 years that means
that God has spoken to us and that we have new scripture and light and
knowledge and basically the path to eternal life and you just have to tell
everyone? Yeah… my week. Haha But as a result we got the information for some
students from Albania and a couple ladies who live in Bochum! Seriously there
is so much potential here right now!
I love you all so much and I am so excited to be here in
Germany at this time!
