HAPPY 4th Of JULY!!! We had district meeting on the 4th this week and we sang AMERICA songs and recited the Pledge with an AMen at the end. Ah. It was simply beautiful. This week started out a little interesting. I got really sick and was out for the count on Monday and Tuesday. Thankfully one of those days was p-day so i was not out too long from serving the Lord. I Love being a missionary and I realized that even more this week when I was not able to go out and FIND people to teach!!!
Ah. Being in Germany is marvelous! This week we were walking to an appoinment and it started raining. Never in my life have i seen rain like this. Think of South Carolina on Steroids!!!! We were instantly drenched and had to go home and CHANGE! it was that bad!!! My backpack was soaked and everything inside of it was wet as well. It ROCKED!!! BEST DAY EVER! So we hung things out to dry and everything is back to brand new!
This week we had some amazing miracles. We did District finding this week and the Elders found a family that the missionaries had lost contact with. They set up an appointment with the family and we were able to go and teach them on Saturday. The Mom is from the Caribbean and the Father is German. They have a 13 year old son who is autistic and is the cutest little guy in all the WORLD! He LOVES Music! I was excited :)! We gave them the first discussion and I was able to give them part of the Lesson in GerMAN! it was a MIRACLE! haha. They committed to read the BOm and we made a follow up appointment! It is so grand! I love love love being a missionary. My favorite part of the whole lesson was when we started talking about Joseph Smith the mom remembered the story from when missionaries had taught her before. Her face lit up!! After sister cluff was done I asked her what that meant to her and why she had gotten so happy! She told us that she remembered the story and knows that he is a prophet of god!!! It was amazing!!!!! I was soooo happy! It was a great lesson for us.
This week was the week of contacting! We were able to get a hold of another investigator that we have not been able to reach of a long time. She is a philipino (totally spelled that wrong...) woman (Shout out to seth!) and we have not been able to get a hold of her for a while. I was able to meet her and Sister Cluff gave a brilliant spiritual thought. It was marvelous!
Well my family... I do not have a lot of time left but I just want to tell you how much I love you. Being a missionary is so incredible. And although sometimes it is super hard... That doesn't even matter!!! Cause on that same day you meet someone who listens to your message or find a new family to teach! It is so amazing!!
Everyone keep up the good work and continue to have an amazing summer!!!
Love you all!!!
