Saying Goodbye - Crazy four hour train ride - Settling into Frankfurt


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
