Yep. That sums up this week.
Begrüßung zu Eins und alles! (Salutations, to one and to all!)
Yep. My life is ridiculous. This last week was the busiest, most
spiritual of my life!!! We didn't get full studies at all, this week -- not
even Sunday. It was wonderful!!
So, Monday was the only slow day we had last week. We had
District lunch at Star Diner which is an American style diner out of the 50's
or something, out on the --. I don't even know where. In the city? I don't
know. But it has legitimate American food, and it was really yummy, and really
fun. It reminded me of something out of "Sand Lot", so if you've seen
that, you will have an idea of what I'm talking about. it was a lot of fun to
get to know the Elders in our district better. These Elders are ridiculous. I
can tell most of them came out as 18-year-old boys. They've grown up, most of
them, but they still sometimes act like 18-year-old boys. It's ridiculous.
Tuesday we had an adventure. We went to DDM, and it was really
cool. We talked about how we can make DDM just as exciting as anticipating the
Mission Conference with Elder Bednar. The Elders had a lot of good ideas. It is
always really cool to watch them go from goofy boys playing with friends to
young men in a planning session in about a minute. After that we went and
visited Schwester Irgang again, and had a good time just being company for her.
A great "Service Lesson," as we call them. Schwester Irgang grew up
behind the Berlin wall, and is kind of simple minded, so we don't always get a
lesson in with her, but it's still wonderful to have termin (appointments) with
her, because the spirit is really strong, and it's great.
After Schwester Irgang we had an appointment with Ange. He is
making So much progress!!! Saturday, we invited him to pray about a new
beginning: baptismal date. he said he would, and after the lesson, Sister Bates
and I both said we saw him in white, at the temple. It was the coolest thing on
the planet!
Wednesday, we had 2 WA (Vey-ah= Weniger Aktiv oder Less active),
a service project (helping a member move), and a ward activity. We were out of
the house for 12 hours. But it was cool to talk about Guardian Angels with
Sister Pink. We shared lots of stories.
Thursday, we had a member lesson about the power of prayer, and
then had an appointment with Ange, but it fell out, so we made another because
we still want to help him progress even more. Then we had an Essen termin
(eating appointment) to Schwerster Dietz, a LA with a strong testimony, but respects
her husband who has health problems and so she stays home with him. Then we had
a mitglied dabai (mitt-gleed duh-buy=member present) and did some good-byes. Then
we had permission to go to bed early in preparation for our Elder Bednar
conference. So we did
Friday was the best day of my life. I would love to give you a
play-by-play, but I am almost out of email time, so I will write a snail mail
to Mom, and Jed with the info, and you can tack it onto the blog or something.
Saturday was another busy day with a couple service projects, a
LA lesson, and a powerful lesson about the BOM, prayer and Baptism with Ange
that we (and by that I mean "I" because we will be on a split) will
be following up on tomorrow. we are super excited. It's been a good week.
Love you all, and miss you! Love to hear from you.
