It's been another crazy week! One of the better ones of my mission.
This last weekend was bruuuutal. From Wednesday night to Sunday morning it just felt like life was throwing punches haha. We got dropped out of the blue by our most promising friend, we had to plan and organize the splits and interviews for this transfer which were thrown on us with just a few days notice, we had no time on Friday to breathe between packed appointments, and we ended up helping an unprepared lady in our ward move until 11:30 pm. Saturday was nice for part because Hanau had a baptism but then we had to drive all the way back to Hanau because the elders accidentally took Elder Koch's suit jacket with their wet laundry. We also had to give a report to the high council on missionary work in the Stake with about 24 Hours notice on top of it all haha. We were less than happy campers Sunday morning!
But on Monday we began our game we are running with our Zone. And holy cow the miracles poured down! Elder Koch and I tried to talk to at least 3 people in between every destination, even if we are really pressed for time! We found several really cool people right off the bat. People were stopping and talking with us, and several said they wanted to learn more. We made out 4 appointments for this week and it was awesome.
Then we met with one of our new investigators and it went so well! He moved to Germany from Zimbabwe and he knew the Missionaries there. He had tons of really sincere questions about the nature of God and what happens after we die. We were able to share with him the Plan of Salvation and watching pieces click into place was amazing. He literally clapped his hands at one point and said "Oh!! Oh I get it! I get it now. I understand".
Then we had an appointment with a member family to practice out teaching skills and it went so well! We practiced the message of the Restoration and it was awesome! We all learned new things and at the end, they asked if there was anything they could do for us. We asked if we could pray for someone they knew and they immediately mentioned one of their friends. Now they are planning on inviting this friend for a party at our church on Saturday! We are super excited!!
The work here is cruising forward, we are loving it, life is awesome.
Have a wonderful week! Sorry for the short email, we had a draining Pday at an art museum! Love you all!
Liebe Grüße
