Winston's Missionary Experience

 This week's highlights:   The Schultz kid is going to be baptized on Saturday and he asked me to baptize him.   We continue to teach our friend, George.  Ali came to the second hour of church this week.  Germany held its national elections and the SPD party won.

It's been a hot minute since I have written, but a lot has been going on and I find I don't have a lot of free time to write.  We have been working hard here in Hildesheim to bring the gospel to all those who are willing to listen.  As we have worked hard, we have seen miracles and have found new friends to teach.  One of our friends is George and we are praying hard that he will accept the gospel.  Another friend of ours is Ali and we have been working with him over the last couple of weeks.  We are also working with our church congregation (ward) in giving a mission prep class to that who are thinking about going on a mission or who are preparing to go on a mission.  That has been fun!  I really like Hildesheim and am hoping I will get to continue to stay here for a while, but who knows we could both be up for transfers soon.  Happy 50th Birthday to my mom this past week. I hope you had a wonderful birthday and enjoyed your vacation to Portugal....

  Another week has come and gone!  We had such a good week.  The week began with Zone Conference and we had a really good lesson from President Menzel.  He talked to us about asking ourselves what would Jesus do?  Asking this question then seems to put everything into perspective for example if you are mad and so on.  He also talked about how Laman and Lemuel were willing to get on the boat but lacked the desire to make good choices.  He then applied that to missionary work.  Are we like Lamen and Lemuel who lack the desire to continue to put in our all on our missions?  At Conference, I was able to see Allison Kunz and Elder Vermuelen who are from Cumming, Georgia as well.  After the conference and district council, the elders came from Bremen and did exchanges with us.  On the first day, I paired up with Elder Schildknecht who is new to the mission and on the second day I paired up with Elder Buchmiller.  We had a great time ...
