Montag: We did our toes with the Jamberry nails. That was fun! And we had FHE where we all made pizza all together.
Denstag: The only thing I have
written down for this day is that one of our African less actives was in the
hospital! Her name is Comfort and she doesn't like the mineral wasser, so we
have to bring her some normal water with no gas. Kind of funny! When she says
prayers she literally asks for God to bring down the angles of healing and
protection! I have to try not to laugh SO hard during those prayers! Also, we
met with Schwester Shröter who has been meeting with the sisters for 7 years as
a less active... yes... 7! And has not once came to church! We are stopping
meeting with her because she really just needs to come! I believe that she has
a grudge over the old Bishop and won’t come is what she has told us. She is
very nice, strong testimony, but just needs to come to church.
Mittwoch: ALL 3 of our appointments
fell out that day! I felt like something weird was going to happen in the
morning and I told sister Lisonbee, "Watch, all three of our appointments
will fall out," and they all did! Just my luck. Which means that we didn't
get to meet with David this week. SO sad because we were really going to talk
with him and help him understand how important getting baptized by the right
authority is. I was so so sad that day, but yet joyful all at the same time. I
love having the Spirit with me! I'm going to have to do things differently when
I get home so I always have the Spirit with me this strong! We went to a small
corner Bäkeri! Oh SO good! Also, Sister Lisonbee's skirt got stuck in the bahn (bus/train)
door this day and she couldn't get it unstuck so it was like flapping in the
wind as the bahn was going by! I was dying of laughter!! But really trying to
keep it in because NO ONE talks on the bahn! You are like told to be quite if
you talk! SO weird!
Donnerstag: We went finding and the
first man we talked to this day was about 50. He told us he has heard of Mormons
before, told us goodbye, we said have a nice day, walked about 10 feet the opposite
direction and then he yelled, "Ich bin schon verheiratet" (I’m
already married) SOO funny!!! We just died laughing!! Good for him that he’s is
already married! We aren't here looking for a husband exactly!! Ha! We then
went back to Frau Hellwigs house and she had visitors so we couldn't come in.
We went and visited Comfort in the hospital. (I hate hospitals! We are lucky I
didn't pass out!) And she is bound and determined that they are going to kill
her because they keep taking her blood! And she swears they are giving it to
the blood bank so that people can use it! After we tried to explain that her
body makes more blood, and she didn't believe it, we went and taught a new
investigator named Awa. She is Muslim and it is always interesting to teach
them! She likes the Book of Mormon though! So that’s good! We also on the way
to her appointment found 2 neue untersucher and gave out a Book of Mormon to
someone else! Pretty cool because we haven't found anyone in a while!
Freitag: We did weekly planning! I
hate it...we have to do it but it takes FOREVER and I would rather be outside! But
yeah...and we visited a couple less active members! Just trying to get people
to church! Also Enrico, a newly baptized man in our ward is really nice and
teaches us a German class once a week and he is very patient with me and helps
me with a lot of things! He reminds me of dad and does a lot with computers for
work!
Sammstag: We met with some newly
baptized people and did some finding with no success! We also went and gave a Book
of Mormon to our two new investigators from a couple days before!
Sonstag: We went to church which is
always good! I went with a question to church, because we can always use church
as a way to get personal revelation. Even when it’s in a different language! I
would encourage everyone to do that. Prepare a question for church and listen,
especially to the Spirit and find an answer! We had a joint teach with Abdull,
he is from Africa also and is Muslim also. We try really hard to be careful
when we teach people and we bring a joint teach for a lot of reasons! But one
is to help us with the lesson and bear testimony! Trang was great at this and
she asked some great inspired questions that really made him think!
I'm out of time! But I love you guys
so so much! I loved all your pictures and you guys sounded like you had a blast
in Vegas! I wish I could say that I wish I was with you, but I'm really loving
it here! Love you! Bis naschte woche!
Love, Sister St. John
The bathroom mirror with my hair is all you and can see, and all I can see when I look in it!
Me and some food that we made. No I didn't eat it all by my self! But I did buy a Coke, they don't have diet, so light was the next best.
New shoes that I bought.
At the chocolate factory.
The following pictures are from Halle and surrounding areas and are from Elder Silver's camera.
The photos of the area you are in are beautiful. The Missionary work out there can be tough but when you find someone who will accept the message of the Gospel they'll be dedicated for life. Keep up the great work out there, we are all praying for you. Uncle Kari
