So, not a lot of time...sorry! But I’ll
update really quick!
Dienstag: We went to Werdau to go by
on a couple members because it was their birthdays. One of them happened to be
Ulrich Kosak. Pres. Kosak’s older brother! And He is probably my favorite
member here in the ward! Ha! The Elders were with us, so he invited us in and
told us stories about when he served in the army during the DDR time. They
didn't have to fight, but they had to serve. He told some funny stories that I will
probably write home in a letter. Then we had a good Gemeinde Abend.
Mittwoch: We met with Sch. Riemann a
less active that we haven't had the chance to meet with in a long time. So that
was actually really really good! We also had a really good spiritual lesson
with Lucy. We hiked up to the castle thing in Gera and read things out of Pres.
Uchtdorf’s "Your happily ever after" talk. We talked about how she is,
and we are, children of God. We talked a lot about divine nature and it was a
good refresher for all of us! We then had a "Fireside" by a real oven
fire with Lucy and some less actives and Bruder Krause.
Donnerstag: This was a good day! We
taught Aleena, the lady from the Ukrain. We got to meet four of her kids. It
turns out she doesn't have much interest, but we are just going to try to stay
in contact with her and be her friend and hope something slowly comes out of
it! We then taught Sandy! We also haven't met with him in a while. He's a hard
one. But we are working on it! Then, we went over to the Meckel’s! We taught
the kids about the word of wisdom and had a really good activity to go along
with it! Then we went over to Lutz's house. He's also a less active that we
haven't met with in a while. He asked us this day if we were Evangalisch (Lutheran)
and we just looked at each other with the thought in our heads... "We have
a long way to go with this one...." and it’s true! But we will go
somewhere! He had a few visitors over as usual. One of which was a 4 year old
girl who told us to speak orderly because she couldn't understand us. It was
very funny!
Freitag: We had zone training
meeting! It was really good! We went over the fundamentals. Scriptures, prayer,
church, and then obedience, which connects them all together. We also got flu
shots...I was shaky the whole meeting because I was so nervous....shots! Then,
we got to help sch. Sorge in her garden with the Elders! We actually ended up eating
for longer than helping! Germans and their food!
Samstag: We taught Lucy again and
did some weekly planning.
Sonntag!!! Oh thank the heavens!! I
had a great peaceful fast and testimony meeting. I got to sit by a lonely old
lady who had all the hymns memorized! Then after that it was crazy! From
teaching Young women’s to AJA!!! (a Meckel) to running from relief society, to
primary, back and forth! na, ja.... stressful! But then we had lunch at the church
with the Heiland family and the Seidel family! The food involved potatoes of
course! And was of course very good! We even got 2 new referrals from the
Heiland family! COOL!! referrals!!! That like...never happens! Oh! And
Fynnlay had his baptismal interview from bishop and everything is good to go!
He may be baptized this Sunday or the next!! Pray for this family for me!
Well, we are now going back over to
Ulrich Kosak’s house to have family home evening! We will be learning to make
good food from his wife! To say the least we are excited! I don't have time to
send pics. But I do send my love! I hope that you have a great week and that sometimes
you enjoy just the normal weeks where you don't have to run around! I love you
all so so much!
Liebe Grüße, Sister St. John
