Okay enough jabber I gotta tell you two cool stories that happened before I run out of time
So this week on monday night we were coming home from an Essens termin and it was getting late. We were at the bus station and there was only one other person there. So being missionaries what do you do in a situation like that... YOu go over and TALK to them OFCOURSE! So we walk over and see that this person is not a person at all but a little youth. He was 15, smoking, and looked like he was about ready to fall over dead. I started talking to him and he said that he needed some pill... I got a little nervous but decided no, this kid needs more than that- he needs the gospel. He asked where we were from and eventually talking turned into the first lesson points that we have a lovely heavenlthy father. It was litterally like magic- as We were telling this boy these things he stopped smoking and actually listened. You could see his mind working and his countance change. Well the bus came so we got on together. We sat by him and continued to talk. We asked his about music- he said he lioved it. So what did we do.... I will tell you... right there on the bahn we got out our german hymn books and started singing. (dont worry there were only two other people besides us on the train and they had head phones in). At first he was embassared and was like WHAT ARE YOU DOING!!! haha. But we just kept going. At the end of the 1st verse we stopped. And he jkust looked at us. We asked him if he wanted us to keep going and he said, yes!!! So thats what we did! We sang all four verses of Nearer my gott zu dir! it was inceredible! AND!!!! the other two intenese dude that were on the train with us took out their headphones and were listening!!!!! The spirit was about to burst through the train it was soo strong. Well we continued talking to this boy and all of the sudden hie was like oh NO! this is my stop!! I was like NO! we need your contact information. I wipped out my planner and he started wiritng down his name but the train was starting to move and the door were slamming shut ask he ran to get off frantically writing... it was too late. He jumped off the train with my planner in hand.... and at the last second threw my planner back on the train with unfinished contact information... As the doors slammed shut we both just stood there looking at one another. This 15 year old kid looked devastated.As the train drove away he just watched us till we were out of sight. My heart broke into peices. tears werein my eyes as I realized that this boy, 15 years old- who was destraught when we first met him, had a new light in his eye when we left. And the fact thathe was not going to be able to hear more about that light broke my heart. PEOPLE!!! Do you realuize that this gospel the GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST can change people. Just a glimpse of it can change someones whole outlook on life!!! We have such an incredible thing here! We MUST MUST MUST share this with everyone. I know that this church is ture and I have prayed morning adn night since Monday that this boy, Kris will find the church someday.And in some ways we are all like this boy Kris. So lost, searching for something to help us get through this life. But unlike Kris, we know who will help us get through this life. Our savior jesus chirst and father in heavebn. They are there. We are never alone. Remember how lucky you are to have this gospel in your lives!!
I love you all.
