Keeping really busy, has a baptism coming up and traveling all over Germany.

Well, this week was great, T. the man you have been praying for is getting baptized. We met with the Bishop yesterday and we are meeting at the mission home this evening with President Stoddard as our joint teacher. He keeps asking us for invitations for the baptism and last night I made the templates for them!! He is super stoked and ready, he even invited his parents to come!! We are so excited and happy for him!!! Background on him, he is 23 years old, he is a manager at a hotel in downtown Frankfurt and found the missionaries through a street display!

This week for me personally I have seen so many miracles. The coolest one was probably the member referral we got, we tried multiple times to go by without success. Until finally on Friday we went by and the lady opened the door. She initially was not interested but then we asked her some more questions and she said "here just come inside". We sat down for about 30 minutes and the spirit was so strong, we bore testimony about families and the restoration and she felt the spirit. She couldn't deny it. She said "I usually don't let people like you in." But it was cool because she had made some new goals for the year to become more spiritually active and come closer to God. When we knocked she was in the middle of reading a book about God and nature. It was cool, she is going to talk to the member and then we are hopefully all going to meet together! She is so prepared and you knew she felt something different and she could not shake it! It was so cool!!


Then we got back in touch with one of our less active members named Taz, we found him on the Zeil, he started coming back to church but he fell off the map for a long time but we had a feeling we needed to call him. We did and he was actually at home, so we went by and he was so happy to see us, he is super excited to meet again and hopefully we can get him back to church!!

Also, I got to go on two splits this past week, one was in a city calls Karlsruhe it is about 20 minutes from France and the other was in the city where the temple was!!! It was great, we also did some visits during some Zone Trainings in Heidelberg, Frankfurt, Friedrichsdorf. So some more mission travelling but it was good. Learned a lot about setting goals, one of my goals for this year is to have 4 baptisms in the next 6 months. It is going to be a companionship goal for me and Elder Fitzgerald because we are going to more than likely end our missions together! I want to be accountable to you mom so you keep following up with me on how I am doing with my goal! 

This upcoming week is going to be great!! It is actually Transfer planning week. It is going to be crazy but cool, because we sit down with President Stoddard all week and plan the transfer scenarios out! That means that we help plan out the change in missionary companions,and give our input on where missionaries are going and who is going to serve in leadership positions. It is going to be a humbling experience for sure!! Looking forward to it though! 

Well everything is going well with me this week I have been thinking a lot about the spirit and how is speaks! I am focusing on the tiny promptings of the spirit like something as simple. But by following the small promptings we better understand the big promptings from the Lord. It is how I believe we fine tune our spirit sensitivity. I have been trying it, it's hard for sure, but you see how many miracles and promptings you pass by because you are afraid or lazy. Thats my challenge to all of you. Whether it is making a phone call to someone you have been thinking about, or going by to visit someone. Just Do, and let God do the rest!
