Hey
everyone!
This
week was one for the books! We were all over the place again
(Trippstadt, Geiselberg, Annweiler am Triffels, Saarbrücken,
Piermasines, Erlenbach) and the more I see of this beautiful country the more I fall in love!
On Montag (Monday) night while we were planning we got a phone call from the Elders in another zone who had TWO referrals for us! This was a huge miracle because we never get referrals let alone two in one evening. We were able to get a ride with our Ehepaar (Elder and Sister Tarbot) and together we trekked out to Trippstadt and Geiselberg. Another miracle happened when we were able to see both referrals! Usually people who live in Dorfs work in the Stadt and aren't home in the middle of the day on a Dienstag (Tuesday). Between contacting them, making return appointments for both, AND the most beautiful drive I've ever experienced Sister Williams and I were super pumped about the rest of the week. And it kept getting better too!
On Mittwoch (Wednesday) we met with Hans a neubekehrt (new convert) and he invited a friend Angelo. Angelo speaks Bairisch (a German dialect) and had a super funny accent. Sister Williams and I had to really rely on the spirit for this lesson, but it worked out! He had a lot of questions and it was super cool to see Hans bearing his testimony to his friend. Unfortunately we aren't able to keep teaching Angelo because he lives in Nürnberg. However that makes THREE referrals in one week! Whaaaaaaaat!
Donnerstag (Thursday) we went to Piermasines (an hour train ride from Kaiserslautern) to go see 2 Wenigeractives (less active). Unfortunately they both fell through (double unfortunately because it's really hard to get out there and expensive). But while we were there we ran into one of the Elders old investigators. Adam had a baptismal date and sacrificed a lot to prepare himself for baptism, but for whatever reason he decided that he needed more time and the elders lost contact. But now we have an appointment with him on Wednesday!
Then on Sonntag (Sunday) we had the opportunity to go to Saarbrücken to watch the broadcast of the Freiburg temple dedication auf Deutsch and then the second session in Kaiserslautern auf English. President Uchtdorf and Elder Bednar both spoke (both auf Deutsch). I cannot express how amazing it was to hear AND UNDERSTAND what President Uchtdorf was saying! Everything he said was exactly what the German people needed to hear and the words could only come from him. He basically read all of the missionaries minds.
And to top it all off we had a second lesson with one of our new investigator Helge and it was hands down one of the best lessons we've ever had.
Here's to next week!
Love you all!
