Hi everyone. How's it going? Things here in Bremerhaven are starting
to get cold and very very foggy. The leaves have changed color and it
is very beautiful with the fog surprisingly. Events that happened this
week. First and foremost....FRAU TANST SAID YES TO TAUFE. She hasn't
said a date but we think that she wants to get baptized the same day
as her son which is next year in April. So obviously that is way too
long so we will try to get it set back a little sooner.
Yesterday as we were tracking we met a definite potential
investigator. He's American and was very interested in the Book of
Mormon. We are meeting with him on Friday and cannot wait.
We did service for one of our investigators and she was so thankful.
There is someone we think it's a friend of the family who may be
interested in our message. Super excited. We are focusing this week on
finding more investigators and our training for district meeting is
about how we can find better. I am giving my first spiritual thought
in meeting as a district Frau. This week we get the chance to go to
Hamburg for a leadership meeting. All of the district fraus of the
district leaders will be doing some finding in Hamburg for six hours.
Long but effective day.
Today we went to a ship museum with a friend of ours. He's not a
member but we hope that as we develop a relationship with him he will
want to take the lessons. He is definitely a talker and used to sail a
lot so he had a lot to say about these ships. He told us a story about
a ship that sank and it was extremely interesting.
Spiritual Thought: Free samples. Today we listened to a talk by Troy
Dunn about free samples. Why do grocery stores always give out free
samples? It's the most clever marketing technique....Free samples
create need for more.... Car companies create this by test drives.
Donut shops actually turn the vents of the shop toward a street so
people smell the fresh warm donuts. In life we get free samples. Some
can be good but some are for the worst. Satan tempts us with these
free samples in order to create a need for more. He literally leads us
with a weak soft flax chord which turns into chains and is eventually
very difficult to get out of. However our Heavenly Father offers us
free samples. The temple is a perfect example. Feeling the spirit.
When Saran offers us a free sample...RUN!!!!!! Don't even smell that
sample that may look delicious at first but can lead to captivity. Get
away from it as soon as possible. Out Heavenly Father promises that he
will always provide a way to get a way from temptation we just need to
take it. He also promises that he will not let Satan tempt us with
something that is impossible to resist. When we are feeling tempted we
can turn to our father and cry out for help and he will always be
there.
Well sorry this email is a little short but next week I will email
much more I love all of you so much. I wish you all a life of joy.
Tchüs.
The Lord Is my Shepherd!!!!!!!!
