I OVERCAME MY BIGGEST FEAR!!!

FAMILY!!!! This week I OVERCAME MY BIGGEST FEAR!!!

I GAVE A TALK IN SACRAMENT MEETING!!! IN GERMAN!!! WHAT THE WHAT! CAN I GET A HEY HO!! Yes, some people came up to me after and said, "I am sure it was hard to give a talk in another language,"... which is translates to... You did not do so good.... BAHAHA, BUT! I did it! And I thought that was an accomplishment of a lifetime. Wow... Missions really push you to become who the Lord wants you to be!

I want to give a shout out to the one and only BEAC OF THE WEST!!!!!!!!!!! You get your call on WEDNESDAY! I am freaking!! PLEASE COME HERE!! PLEASE! I dont think I can go 3 years without seeing your face/crazy hair... which is now gone! That is tragic. Grow it out again will ya? :) I am pumped!! BERLIN GERMANY PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!! 

As I say every week, Sister Shelley and I have had such an amazing week!! We have been blessed with finding prepared people that are so open to this gospel and coming unto the Lord. 

One investigator that we have been meeting with is named Eric. He is from Ghana and has lived in Germany for 11 years. He speaks pretty good german, has a very stable job and three cute kids. He has always been searching for god and says that he is not "filled" yet. We told him that as he continues to meet with us he will become "filled" with all the love of God. We asked him if when he knew this was true if he would get baptized and he said YES! Sister Shelley and I were thrilled. Hopefully this week we can talk to him about a taufdatum and get a commitment from him. He is such an incredible person who god has prepared to recieve his gospel. He is open to everything and really wants to progress in following the Lord. 

Our next success story is with a Lady named Alexandra. She is from Mexico, but is engaged to a German man. They are both Catholic, but she does not like the catholic church. We met her at our weekly service project and after were able to give her a church tour. She seemed very overwhelmed when we gave her the church tour and we did not feel it was teh right time to introduce the Book of Mormon, but we gave her an invatation to a PV Activity for her little girl. She was very excited and said she would come! The Activity was on Saturday and she came with her fiance and little girl! We were so happy to see her there. We introduced her to a lot of ward members and the Phal President talked to her for a really long time. She was so impressed and so excited. She said that she absolutley loves the spirit that she feels when she is in our church and when she is around the people. We have both her and her husband Books of Mormon and she was thrilled. 

We had so many moments this week that showed how much the Lord is here directing his work. I love being a missionary and am so thrilled about everything that is happening in Langenhorn!!

JOs!
