Well here it is again, the day that mothers wait for! Emailing
TIME!!
Well it has been another exciting week I'm going to have to go
through
it play by play!
Monday-Tuesday
We had Zone training and
got to Watch Meet the Mormons!! So good!
anyone who is not a member of the
church and wants to learn more about
WHO ARE THE MORMONS!! Go and watch it,
you won't be sorry. I have to
say I teared up a little when they were talking
about the Berlin
Airlift, because those are the same people I am serving
right now, the
grandkids and great grandkids! Wow and also the part about the
mom
dropping her son off at the MTC. It reminded me so much of what I went
through with my family! On top of watching that we also got to
talk
a lot about planning and diligence! I was pretty
great!
Wednesday
We went by our investigator NR and taught him as
best we could,
because he doesn't know German and then later that evening went
on
splitz with the Elders Quorum. Elder Basinger and I went with
Bruder
W, he is so cool!!! I love that guy!! We met with a kid who is 24
and less active and Bruder W got us in door when his friends
were
over, it was so cool! He is like a brother to the
Missionaries!
Donnerstag
We made our invitations to the Munster Elders
baptism on Saturday, we
were hoping to get some of our investigators to the
baptism. Then we
went and met with the F family and played Easter Egg Hunt with
his smoking stuff. So for ever smoking thing (lighters and old
boxs
and ash trays) we gave him american Easter candy! It was awesome
and
he really enjoyed it. Later we rode to NR to drop off a
invitation
at his house. Then had American Game Night at the
church,but no one showed up.
We got to work on that this
week!
Freitag
Went to do service at Warenkorb a ArmeKuche for people
in Ahlen. We
always get free stuff mostly food. Then we tried to
meet
with Frau A. but she was in a bad mood, because Friday we had
a
solar eclipse. But we saw nothing because of thick fog! It was kind
of
a weird day. Ended it off with the street display in Hamm where we
met
RY.
Samstag
Tried to finish Weekly Planning but ended up heading to
the baptism
early to help fill the font. Even though it wasn't our baptism, we
had
RE and NR come and watch. Rosie came with her two sons (she
is
the lady that knocked on the church door a couple weeks ago) we
didn't
think she would come. Her sons were awesome though and I sat next
to
them and kept them entertained. Sister Wulff was there and
immediately
befriended RE. Sister W is awesome, she is always
watching out
for the missionaries because she has a son in New York on a
mission
right now! She says that she takes care of us because she knows
that
our moms pray that someone will watch out for us. She says she
prays
that same thing will happen to her son and that some mother will
watch
out for him! She is awesome!
Sonntag
Crazy day, miracle after
miracle, RY that guy from the street
display came to church! When we met from
the street display, he was nuts
then, talking about fighting Satan and what
not! I gave him a card and
thought I would never see him again! I was wrong
he called and met us
a Bahnhof (train station) and came to all 3 hours of church. He was
dressed so
interestingly, he had tiger stripes cut out of his jeans and a
sweater with
two guns that said BANG BANG, then on top of that had a NeoNazi
shirt
on. But wow! He is amazing, he knows so much about the gospel and
God
and he is truly a god fearing man. RE came to church and loved it!
We
didn't talk to much to her because Sister W was helping her
out,
which was awesome! Then N. came to church!! He got to Skype
with
the Romanian missionaries and it went great he was so happy! After
church we took home RY and thought we probably wouldn't see
him
again, then he called us 30 minutes later and said he wanted to
meet
that night and that he found his Book of Mormon. He met us at
Bahnhof (train station)
and started talking about his life and his struggle with Heroin
and
every drug know to man. He said he was Muslim and that he was open
to
hearing about our church and that he likes us. He loves techno music and
showed
us his dance moves yesterday! It was awesome, he even called us
today
to schedule an appointment.
What a crazy week, I feel so humble
to be able to find people like
RY and RE and teach them. They are truly
those that were
prepared before this earth to come and receive the gospel.
They may
come across different BUT IT DOESN'T MATTER! Aren't we
all
different, it doesnt matter if you wear your
clothes
backward, if your a skinhead or a catholic priest. Everyone is a
child
of God. everybody is searching for something and they don't know
what
it is! The gospel is for all! So I would challenge everybody,
next
time you see a guy or girl with tatoos and piercing and what not,
try thinking "wow they are a
child
of god just like me" try and teach yourself to love them like
your
Heavenly Father loves them. Because he loves us all
perfectly!
Love you all
Elder White
