Well this week has been weird becasue I went on two splits and had two all
day meetings this week. Pretty much did no proselyting in our area!, but it was
fun to say the least. I first went on a split with Elder Frickey in Mainz! We
had great time because we served together in the same zone in Dortmund. We got
to teach some cool lessons and got to do some fun finding! Its fun to go and
work in other peoples areas!
Then we had then actually overnight at our apartment and the next morning
drove them to Zone Conference held in the Offenbach Chapel. It was a really good
Zone Conference mainly because we talked about the gospel of Jesus Christ and
how we can better change lives and make differences and how they ground us and
help us explain really want we need to do here on the earth. Elder
Robinett and I were in charge of Enduring to the End and we gave a fun example about how
we are all walking up a staircase and we can just walk halfway up and say okay I'm
finished! But we have to make it to the top, meaning make it to heaven, we can't stop, randomly in the middle.
Baptism is not the end it is merely another step (but very important step) in
the journey of life. Then we related this example to our missions. Just because you serve a mission and make it
eventually to the day of Eternal P-Days doesn't mean that you have reached
eternal life. We as missionaries can't go less active after getting home from our
missionaries, as was said last year in genreal conference "swan dive back into Babylon". It was cool
and I think it was a good visual analogy.
Then the next day we had Mission Leadership Counsel it was fun to see some
friends all over the mission and talk about issues and how we can fix them. One
of the biggest topics was the fact that playing Sports to get to know investigators is not coming across as
effective and missionaries are getting hurt. I defending the side of the issue that we should play sports because I have seen a lot of success. After much discussion we decided that we can play sports we just need to make sure that we are following the spirit and not getting to competitive. It was fun to talk and
counsel with President Stoddard!!
Well then we had a cool experience because then I went on a split with
Elder Manner a new missionary in our zone who is serving Michelstadt. It was fun, he is a great Elder who is really has such a strong testimony and is a diligent
missionary! We did a ton of finding and got ice cream!! hahah then we went to
the wards multicultural evening and played soccer with some of the little kids
in the ward! I love splits!! they are so much fun! You just get to go and be
yourself and help lift elders and help them find the joy in missionary work!!
Great Stuff!!
Well Bruder LG came again this Sunday and we didn't even remind him!!
He was sitting there and then we talked to him a little and then this lady came
up and invited him to sit next to her!! It was great! He then stayed the whole 3
hours and really liked it!! So cool he is making so much progress!
Well crazy week ahead of us! We have a lot of stuff to do and things this
week we are invited to do Rat des Religions and we are doing a infostand for the
Deutscher Einheit Religion Celebration which the main celebration is being held
here in Frankfurt!!! ITs going to be cool!! A once and lifetime
opportunity!!
Love ya, a ton and remember to pray whenever you need answers the Lord is
there just waiting to forgive us and help lift us during times of struggle and
trial. Remember the importance of the Atonement and how we can truly be forgive
of our sins!
Love
Elder White
