Lieber Familie,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY WIZ!!! Heilge kuh (holy cow) I can't believe you're 19 tomorrow! Seriously, was ist los? Love you so much! I hope you have a fantastic day!
Quick clarification, I'm still in Lankwitz with my trainer Sis
Lartey. We are working on setting the ward on fire with excitement about
member missionary work! This week we have been working with a lot of
members and inactive members. We are working on strengthening the ward
and having more members involved with lessons with investigators and
other activities. Every other week we play fußball or frisbee
with members, inactives and investigators. I feel like most of the
enthusiasm will come from the youth rather than the parents. We are
working on sharing Der Erlösungswerk with the whole Gemeinde one family
at a time.
One investigator we have been working with for a while finally came
to church with her whole family yesterday!! We were so excited because
she has been trying for months to get her husband to come to sacrament
meeting. Yesterday I lead the music for sacrament meeting-- 'no problem'
I thought 'leading music is easy, nah' haha well I forgot I still can't
speak German and suddenly I'm trying sing German hymns in front of the
whole Gemeinde....peinlich....
Wednesday
we did new missionary first finding. So I got to take a fresh
missionary out on the street, just the two of us trying to get contact
info, make appointment, talk to people etc. When the APs called and asked
if we wanted to come I said heck yes! First finding = delicious food!
It wasn't until I was with a missionary who knew less German than I do,
that I realized what I had gotten myself into, haha. Good news, I know
more German than I give myself credit for. Bad news, I still can't speak
this language. I am truly grateful for all that I can do and understand
and I am trying to take it just one day at a time. BTW the food after
was definitely worth it.
I want to say thank you to all who are praying for me and missionary work. I can really feel your love and support.
Ich habe sie lieb!
