 Hey Guys!! This week has been great and I have been able to see the hand of the Lord in my life through a couple of miracles. Last week we went to our friend Romeo's store to meet with him and read from the Book of Mormon, however, he wasn't there. When we called him he said that he totally forgot because there was an issue with the lights at his other store and he was all stressed trying to fix it. He felt so bad about it that he promised to make it up by coming to church on Sunday, whenever he is usually busy with work. Then on Sunday, he came to church for the first time in over 18 years and he really enjoyed it. Another miracle I saw come to pass was when we were with our friend, Clinton from Cameroon, helping him find the court building he would need to be on the following day. The address on the document he showed us took us to a building in Leutschz. Thankfully this lady that worked there was walking out as we got there and she was able to tell us that it was the wrong building. What a blessing she was there because we got there an hour after it was closed and we were able to find the right building later on. He's been really stressed out about it the past couple of weeks and it would have been really bad if he had missed it.
     I read in Moroni 7 that many people believe miracles have ceased to happen on this earth today, however that couldn't be farther from the truth. In verse 37 it states: "Behold I say unto you, Nay; for it is by faith that miracles are wrought, and it is by faith that angels appear and minister unto men; wherefore if these things have ceased to be unto the children of men, for it is because of unbelief, and all is vain". All we need is faith and then we'll be able to see the miracles in our life. I would like to invite you guys to pray to God and ask him for help in seeing his hand in your life. 
    This week we traveled to Dresden where I had my first zone conference. I met our new mission president for the first time. During our interview he gave me the news that I will be transferred to Chemnitz on Wednesday, so today I have been busy preparing for that and enjoying my last P-day here in Leipzig. I want you guys to remember that God and Christ love you.

Week 5

Image
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...

Week 79 A second weekly in a row- What's going on!?

Image
Yo was geht ab!? On Saturday I hit my 18th-month mark which is so crazy to think about .  Time really does fly when you're having fun. I also found out that I'll be released on the 21st of July, which was a bit earlier than expected but oh well. The plan right now is for me to join my family in Frankfurt since they'll be there for the summer and go home with them on the 28th. So I'll first be available to meet in person near the end of July and early August. I'm also having to look into housing for BYU already. I'm not really sure if I want to stay on campus or off. For those of you who went to BYU or are there right now, what are the pros and cons of both?  Besides finding out my plans for when I go home, this week has been pretty good. Right now I'm still serving in the city of Hildesheim and I love it here. I've been here for 6 months already, so I'll probably get booted somewhere else next transfer. If I do I hope I go to a big city like Hamburg ...

Jesus is the Lord Week 11

  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 ...
