We had zone conference this week and it was in
Kaiserslautern. I'm back to my old hood for the second time since
leaving. It felt so weird to be walking to the huge church again and
eating American food prepared by American moms! We finally got to see
the video for the Easter Initiative "Fürst des Friedens"
(Prince of Peace). It's way good and I recommend watching it. We really
focused our training on how to share the initiative and how to teach in
the Savior's way.
This week was all over the place. On Saturday, we had a ton of appointments that ended up being moved to later in the week. We also hung out with the women in our ward and had cake and tea together. We also played Taboo and I did surprisingly well in German. The woman in this Gemeinde (ward) are all awesome!
On Tuesday all of our appointments again got pushed back to the weekend (funny how that always seems to happen). We were dooring and I saw an older man carrying a huge painting. I offered to help him and he ended up just showing off his painting he had finished. He was talking and at some point, he noticed our name tags and he stopped mid-sentence and started going on a rant about how he was an atheist and that we had no chance with him. We talked for about 45 minutes on the sidewalk and he decided that he did want to meet with us for rum-coffee with chocolate sprinkles. When we parted ways, he complemented my German and couldn't believe I was American. Then he started to try setting us up with his 23-year-old grandson. He called me a ”stellar Frau" and wished us both good husbands. Haha! I love old Germans sometimes!
Today we went to the Technosium here and saw the 200 Räder exhibition. We even got to ride the "Laufräder" (walk bike) and the old bikes with the huge front wheel. Sadly, no pictures were allowed. I'll say this: we've come a long way since the original.
Spiritual highlights we met some crabby people yesterday and instead of moving on or even skipping them, we were able to help them out. We felt really guided as we explained part of the plan of salvation to a man who had just lost his wife. We were able to share a scripture with a woman who felt like she had lost her faith in her Christ.
It's been a good week 😊
