I'm doing really well!! No need to worry about the terrorist attacks,
we have been coordinating with President Stoddard and will tomorrow
about how to keep the mission safe. My heart goes out to the families, I
actually got to talk to the missionaries medical advisor Elder
Peipgrass he says they are doing well. The great part also about
Germany is it is one of the safest countries in the world. The German
police are on top of it all, they have increased security and we are definitely
making plans with President about it. Thanks for your email though, I called president afterwards and then he asked us as to send a mass message out informing people of the
event and to be aware. If you ever have any thoughts or impressions
fill free to email me because we are really the gate way to the
mission.
Thank you so much for the package that you sent to me with all the
candy and socks and stuff! We actually got to use the cookie mix this
week and baked them for a less active and now we are hopefully going
to be meeting more regularly now!! Thanks!!
Well, this week we travelled a lot and had some amazing miracles
happen. Unfortunately, today we are going to the Frankenstein Castle,
it's taking a ton of time to get there so I'm going to send this
message out to you and dad, combined.
But cool miracle from the week, S. had his baptism and wow that
was amazing!! He invited like 20 people to his baptism, he was nervous
before the baptism and he was so excited though! D. the brother of
S. gave an amazing talk, he looked directly at S and said "Although you
are my older brother, I'm your bigger brother, I will help lead you
along your path and will always be there for you!" S. was super
nervous but he said he asked the Lord for forgiveness one more time
before he got in the water and when he came out he was so happy!! Then
after wards he was getting changed and came out and was just floating
on cloud nine! He then goes on to say that the girl he was dating (a
member) is the one he is going to marry. During the baptism I had the chance to sing,
I Stand All Amazed. It was super cool, the spirit was super
strong. The next day at church, he brought his entire family to church
and he asked us to teach the gospel principles class. We just taught
the Restoration to them and they we all blown away at the end of the
class 6 out of the 9 family members took a Book of Mormon. The sisters
were telling us later how they were surprised how we were so bold with
his family members. It was cool the spirit testified so power through
us and they asked some good questions. It was such a miracle and
everyone was super happy at how well the class went well. The S. family is
really building up the ward and creating this environment where
new converts can befriend them and receive them into the church. What
a blessing.
We also got to meet with F., the friend of T. he is doing
amazing and is making so much progress it is unreal!! He came randomly
to the baptism and then stayed and then got up the next morning and
went to church. He told us about his experiences during the week of
trying to keep the commandments. Even commandments we hadn't even
committed him too!! He is super committed to finding out if it is true!
It was so cool!! If you could pray for him that would be great! He is
going get baptized he just needs that extra push!
Well over all amazing week the baptism was amazing and the spirit was
so strong. We have just been so blessed in this area! The lord has
truly been blessing us as we are coming to the end of our mission!!
Love
