Well it was sad saying goodbye to everyone in the Gemeinde in Hamm. It was
really cool though the morning that I was leaving we were riding to Bahnhof and I looked around me and up at the sky and just got this feeling that I had
fulfilled the Lords purpose in Hamm. It was great and I was so happy. I got to
say goodbye to the the G. and the D. C. family. Then right before I left our awesome Gemeinde Mission Leader gave me a ride to the train station and
then gave me a hug and told me I was always welcome in his house! That was super
cool for me to hear and then randomly we saw Bruder W. one of the other men
that i really looked up too!! It was pretty cool!! Great way to leave
Hamm!!
Well the train ride took 4 hours and I was the travel leader and we had 12
people with close to 36 bags we were carrying between trains. It took us an hour
to get everything situated for the first train and then it was late and we had
4 minutes to get 36 bags from one train to the other. It was insane I was just
throwing bags off the train and running with these huge suitcases! It had to have
looked so funny!! But anyways we all made it, but unfortunately one sister lost
her bag on the way she probably wont ever get it back. :(
Well I met Elder Robinett, my new companion that I know from the MTC and immediately we started doing stuff we pretty
much spent the whole day just running people around and taking all the leaving
missionaries to the hotel it was weird and crazy! Then the next day we had to do
more random stuff!! It has been a crazy and new.
Well our area has really no investigators...which is a little weird but
honestly the whole mission is struggling right now with the work. But I'm really
excited because we have set a goal for 16 baptisms in the next 2 transfers! And
we set a goal this week to find two new investigators!! It going to be super
fun!! As much as it is frustrating because we are suppose to be an example the whole zone we are literally just doing the Lord's work. Elder
Robinett and I were talking about it yesterday and he said something that really
stuck out to me he said "You know if the Lord really wanted too he would let
everyone here in Germany baptize every week, but that is not his plan he has a
different plan. Even though baptisms each week would be ideal for us!" It so true the only
thing we can do it plead with the Lord in prayer and then go out and
work!!
Well I'm excited what is ahead of us!! Things here in the Frankfurt zone are
going to blow up. And me and Elder Robinett just need to lead way!!
Cool story, second day I was here I really wanted to find someone. We
prayed before we left the apartment, and I asked the Lord to lead us to someone
that we ready to here the gospel. We walked outside to the train and I started
talking to this guy and he a took a Book of Mormon! He didn't give us his phone
number, but the lord fulfilled our prayer!!
Miracles really do happen!! Love you all and pray for you daily!!
Love Elder White
Hamm Mission Leader
Made it to Frankfurt!!
