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!
This week's adventures included a baptism, another baptism by the Gottingen Elders, street contacting, teaching our friend George, haircuts, eating Chinese food, and of course Burger King which is so much better than in the states. We also taught a mission prep class to young men and women. We taught them why it is important to go on a mission, how you can be blessed, and how to be an effective missionary. D&C 4 states: Now behold, a marvelous work is about to come forth among the children of men. Therefore, O ye that embark in the service of God, see that ye serve him with all your heart, might, mind, and strength, that ye may stand blameless before God at the last day. Therefore, if ye have a desire to serve God year are called to the work: For behold, the field is white already to harvest; and lo, he that thrusteth in his sickle with his might, the same layeth up in store that he perisheth not, but bringeth salvation to his soul; and faith, hope char...
