Winston's Missionary Experience

 

  This week's highlights include Attending Zone Conf where we were taught about teaching with the spirit and finding with the spirit. As a zone, the Mission President had us all go out and gave us an hour to do some finding. There were 40 missionaries sharing the Lord's message. I got to see my homie, Elder Gagnon.  The temps are getting down to zero-winter is coming. The last couple of weeks I have been branching out and trying some new Turkish Food!  So fantastic! This week we had a Stake Conference where Elder and Sister Menzel spoke.  My companion  Elder Bueno is down to less than 30 days of his mission here in Germany.  He will be heading home to Brazil. I am jealous because he is heading home with a whole summer ahead of him. We have been running for our Morgan Sport. I am continuing to work hard to spread God's love and his gospel.

There is no letter from Winston this week as he has been extremely busy.  The work has really picked up in Hildesheim and they have been busy teaching people about the gospel.  They are stoked about one referral that they got from the sisters in Hannover and plan on teaching that friend this week.  P-day or what is their day off this week was spent shopping, cleaning their apartment, and getting ready for the upcoming week.  Winston spent most of the day trying to find new pants, but in the end, Amazon came to the rescue.  He is really excited this week about Zone Conference and upcoming exchanges.  Exchanges are where a team of missionaries exchange partners and usually go to another city or the other missionary pair comes to their city for a couple of days.  Hopefully, he will have time to write next Monday.  

 Aye, Wie Geht's!? This last week was all over the place.  Elder Beuno caught a cold and then passed it on to me. I've had a sore throat and on-and-off headaches. We've had to power through lessons. Thankfully we had General Conference the last couple of days and have had the opportunity to rest a bit.  On Tuesday we met with a young man who we found last week. He invited his brother and we were able to tell him all about the Book of Mormon. We also met with our new ward mission leader for the first time to counsel about the work here. He just got back from the Alpine German-Speaking Mission and is totally open to being a joint teacher which is dope.  On Wednesday we held our second mission prep class for the youth in our ward. We spoke about how one can have an effective scripture study. In the end, we did a roleplay. We gave them a few minutes to find a scripture about Jesus and then explain who he is to a partner. They loved it and it was a great time.  On Th...
