| Our street display in K-town. |
My favorite moments of this week just
all happened to be caught on camera (see below)! We had a street display and we
gave out 36 Books of Mormon! These are also a great depiction of what
Kaiserslautern looks like and where I'm at everyday. We sang some German hymns
and we talked to a TON of people. Since then we've had 3 lessons with some of those
people.
We had 2 dinner appointments one with the amazing Susanna (an investigator) and the other with Victor (a member). At Susanna's we (the German Elders came along too) helped with yard work and then she made us an amazing German dinner with Wurst and potato salad. She attempted to make Guacamole for me but we had to use bread as chips because German chips are weird. It turned out tasting pretty German still haha. We had spaghetti at Victor's house on Sunday and he attempted to make it taste American by mixing chili soup with the tomato sauce. It just tasted very interesting.
We also went on a very long unplanned bike ride to Steinbach. It was an hour train ride and then it was supposed to be a 20 minute bike ride from the train station to the person we were visiting. But it turned into a 40+ minute bike ride through a beautiful field and forest. Needless to say we were VERY late to our appointment.
This week I learned about the importance of having faith and putting your trust in God. In Alma it talks about the Stripling Warriors "Now this was the faith of these of whom I have spoken; they are young, and their minds are firm, and they do put their trust in God continually."

It's sometimes very difficult to recognize the hand of the Lord in your life. My companion and I have to remind ourselves of things we've seen everyday that show us that we really are where the Lord wants us. Everyday, every hour even, we can recognize the blessings and miracles that happen and we are again and again assured that we are doing the things He wants us to do.
Viel Spaß!

| Street singing (hymns) almost as fun as tunnel singing at BYU. When it gets cold we're headed to Leonidas for some fab hot cocoa. |
