Meet our investigator, Liliana.

This week were BUSY.  The poor elders were trying to organize a finding activity for the whole district and we just couldn't make it because we had too much going on. For like 3 days in a row we would get home late, I'd eat get ready for bed, my head would hit the pillow, I'd close my eyes, hear the alarm go off, open my eyes, get up and go again. It's a good thing PDAY came, we needed a break in our hectic schedule.

Speaking of our schedule we're about to break our record for food appointments in a row! Sister Kryzanski and I felt like we needed to get to know some of the other members in our ward so we made a goal last Sunday.  Every person we talked to -even just small talk- we would ask when we could come over in the next 2 weeks. It totally worked because we have a week straight of food appointments! This last Tuesday to the next Monday we have a food appointment at least once a day. What I love about our ward is it's so international that we get a really good variety of food too. Tuesday, we had classic German Schnitzel, last night we had some Ghanaian  food, tonight we'll have Pakistani food.

Some high lights of this week were Bright (of course), our new investigator Lilly, and our new friends Iman und Shamon.

We got to teach Bright the gospel of Jesus Christ with Ben (exchange student from Iowa). It was so much fun because we were acting like old friends. Bright has been growing so much and has learned so much! Ben was a perfect and I was blown away at how well he was teaching. He's turning in his mission papers soon he's going to be an awesome missionary. Bright will also be receiving the Priesthood on Sunday which we're really excited about!

Lilly we found a couple weeks ago and we were able to teach her. Man, I wish I had the Bible memorized. She had a lot of awesome questions about what we believed. However, she started the lesson off by saying she wanted to distance herself from us. We asked if we could teach her what we believe and she agreed (thank goodness). What's interesting is she's a member of a church, but she doesn't agree with most of its doctrines. She's very spiritual and wants to know the truth, but she's very skeptical (she even admitted it). We taught her and the lesson took 2 hours because we would explain one small point and she would have a million questions and wanted 3 scriptures to back it up. It was probably the most meticulous first lesson I've ever taught. Especially as we talked more about the restoration she wasn't very open to the idea of modern day prophets. The cool thing was we were both following the Spirit and were able to answer most of her questions AND come up with a solid amount of scriptures for everything. She agreed to read and pray about the Book of Mormon so it worked!

Iman and Shamon are two Pakistani men who came to our German class on Tuesday. We have 3 students now so improvement! Afterwards they asked us who was in charge of this "program" and and we thought they wanted to complain to our "boss" because we were pretty disorganized. We told them that we were the ones in charge and they almost started crying because they were so grateful! It was a really sweet moment. We ended up giving them a church tour and they promised to come to church on Sunday. They're adorable and so nice!

Because of Lilly Sister K and I have been having AWESOME personal and companion studies. We wrote down her questions and we've been finding answers! Everyday I'm so grateful for modern revelation and personal revelation. We can all ask God our questions and he'll lead us to our answers.

Herzlichen Grüßen,
Sister Luymes

We "doored" this place and when no one answered
we went in and it turned out to be a wood
room perhaps for storage with trash cans.
