Lieber Familie,
You know you are a missionary in
Berlin when you hear a bus or bahn and immediately start running.
I love Sundays! They are like this
magical day that just wipes my memory of all the frustrating stuff that
happened during the week. Actually I'm struggling to remember anything that
happened this week.
On Friday we decided to go to a part
of our area we have never been to in hopes of finding people to
teach. We went to a dorf, village, town, (whatever you want to call it)
outside Berlin. We didn't have a any luck and we felt like we were wasting
time. We went to the bahn stop to wait for the RE. We found a little girl,
about Jack's age, named Nora. She was sobbing because her older brother
had gotten on the wrong train and accidentally left her by herself. She didn't
know where to go or even where she was. We tried to help as best we could and
finally decided to pray. We taught her how to pray and told her that anytime,
anywhere she can pray to Heavenly Father, especially when she is alone or
afraid. Long story short, we waited with her for about an hour and then a
family friend came to the rescue and then her dad a few minutes after that. We
have had other experiences this week where we didn't know why we were where we
where (say that 5 times fast) but we were put exactly where we needed to be. In
an MTC devotional Elder Bednar said, or promised, "If you are a good boy
or a good girl, obey the commandments and honor your covenants, your steps will
be guided, your utterence will be inspired, you will be at the right place at
the right time, and you cannot go amiss."
The other day after daily planning,
Sis Lartey just started laughing and said "I love being a trainer"
Thinking she was being sarcastic I asked her why. She said that because I was
new and didn't know what high or low goals were, we set some pretty high goals.
She didn't think we would reach them, "But," she said "you come
in with all this faith and bam we reached every goal 4 weeks in row!" We
have been working so hard, and we really have been so blessed to have
investigators almost fall into our laps.
I love this gospel so much and I am
so grateful to share it with people all day everyday!
Love you all! Thank you for the
letter and picture Cade! I love it!
Headed to the Berlinerdome now ;)
