This week was really up and down! But overall good.
On Sunday we hosted 2 other companionships from the Nürnberg Zone overnight because early Monday morning we had a mission conference with Elder M. Russell Ballard from the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles! He visited our mission and talked to us for 2 hours. It was so flipping fantastic. Also there was the entire Europe Area Presidency, and Elder Clayton, who is the Presiding President of the Presidency of the Seventy (which is like the coolest title ever). Elder Ballard was super funny and had a lot of really good ideas and goals for us to apply. It was incredible and we also were all able to shake his hand. It was so so cool.
Also at this conference and especially at the pizza lunch after was all 180 missionaries of the Germany Frankfurt Mission! It was so much fun. I got to see my trainer, Elder Mortensen again which was awesome. Also got to see a bunch of MTC buddies and it was just way way fun to be with everyone again, now 7 months in the field. I can't believe how time is flying.
So Tuesday was Elder Adam's birthday! He's 19! Also the day really stunk! (ha.ha.) It started off by getting dropped by two of our favorite investigators. One dropped us because her boyfriend doesn't like us, and the other dropped us because she would rather study with the Jehovah's Witnesses. So we were pretty dang bummed. We also on Sunday had to drop the Manic Family until they start keeping important basic commitments, such as coming to church. I hope they do so, I love them a lot. Also Soroush is doing well with everything except understanding why we need to be baptized, and man basically our entire pool of investigators took a major hit this week. But it's all okay, because that means we just have to find more! And we've been out finding a good bit and it's been really fun. Still really stinks, but it's okay.
Yesterday we had a finding activity in Erbach, which is in Michelstadt's area. It was so pretty. We did a mini split and Elder McClellan and I had a blast klingeling a bunch of doors and contacting anyone that was on the sparsely populated street. We had someone actually accept our offer to help with working in their garden, but they apparently had said it as a joke because we were in nice clothes. We told them we really were willing to help, but they politely turned us down. We were disappointed.
Yeah other than that that's basically all of what happened this week. It was pretty interesting. We'll see how next week goes!
Don't have much of a spiritual thought this week, but I'll make sure to get a good one next time. I love you all! God loves you! Have a great week!!
