This week I had my first exchange and it was a ton of fun. The Erfurt Elders came over and I spent the day with Elder Obrist. He is super cool! He is 22, which makes him older than the rest of us. Before leaving for his mission, he worked in the house-building industry and served in the Swiss military, so I was able to learn a lot from him. We had companionship study together and then we went to Schwester Karl's place for an appointment. Schwester Karl is the sweetest lady and always loves having the missionaries over. When we were leaving she gave us a ton of food to take home with us which was dope. I also finished my Technology training this week so I can finally use Facebook now. I'm thankful that we have the blessing of technology as it opens so many opportunities for sharing the love that Jesus Christ has for us with others. On Thursday we got notified that my mission President is currently in the hospital and will need surgery, so it would mean the world to me if you co...
Hi! I have gotten a few questions about where I will be exactly serving my mission. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints currently has three missions in Germany. There is the Frankfurt Germany Mission, The Alpine Mission, and the Berlin Germany Mission. I am serving in the Berlin Germany mission. As you can see from the maps above, the mission boundaries are rather larger, so while my mission is called the Berlin Mission it doesn't necessarily mean I will be serving in Berlin. In fact, over the next two years, I will be serving in multiple cities. I have no idea which cities I will be serving in, but I am excited to see where the Lord sends me. I am excited to get to know the people of Germany and serve them with all my heart. 10 days and counting until I leave for Germany!
Hey Guys! This past week has been quite great. We were able to meet a few of our friends here in the area. We also decided to introduce ourselves to members by baking cookies and dropping them off at their place. Our plan worked and they loved it. Yesterday I had a great time at church attending the Hohenstein and Chemnitz wards. I currently serve over 4 wards in the Chemnitz area. It was nice to be able to bear my testimony and meet more members of the wards. Last month this young man from the Philippines messaged me on Facebook. My last companion and I were able to teach him over a series of video calls. He believed everything we taught him and he loved reading the Book of Mormon (he did it every day and took detailed notes). We were then able to connect him with the sister missionaries in his area, and on Friday I got the wonderful news that he accepted their invitation to be baptized! It brings me so much joy knowing that he is willing to follow the example ...
