Liebe Freunde Und familie.
Hello everybody I am officially halfway through my training. I cannot
wait to be done. Week six has finally arrived. The days get shorter
and shorter as I go, especially on p-day. Today Elder Bodtcher and I
went bowling the two games that we played were super close. He beat me
by about five each time but I blame it on the weird ball I had. We
also deep cleaned our apartment and it feels so much better to have a
nice clean apartment. We are going to Berlin this week for a trainee
meeting. I cannot wait and neither can my companion. We went on
exchanges last week and I learned so much for my exchange. I went to
Oldenburg and my companion stayed in Bremerhaven (thank goodness) it
was such a cool experience. I wish I had more time in a day but the
days here go by so fast.
Spiritual thought
Alright since i gave two challenges last week there is no challenge.
But be ready for the next one. Last week Elder Bodtcher and I had the
opportunity to teach a lesson on the word of wisdom (my first one in
German) it went really well but she had some concerns about it. We
talked for about an hour about why we keep it and what these things do
to our body. It kind of started to turn into an argument about why
some of the things could be good for you. Some things included coffee
is good for your hair, wine is good for the heart and so on and so
forth. Friends and family that never works in this situation. We
shouldn't look for reasons to obey gods commandments. Have faith and
testify of the blessings that come from keeping the commandments of
our father in heaven. Testimony is the most powerful tool on a mission
(other than the spirit obviousely) but when we testify of the
truthfulness of the gospel the spirit really works through that and
impresses that what we say is true. Friends and family I KNOW that
this church is the true church in the earth today. I KNOW that
Heavenly Father has a plan for all of us. I KNOW that Heavenly Father
loves each and every one of us. Yes there will be times when our faith
is tested and stretched and pulled till almost the point of breaking.
But when it comes to that look towards God and pray with all of your
heart. And remember. In the scriptures whenever a people were
struggling with faith the advice was to always remember the things the
lord has done for us. Remember. Remember. Remember. I also KNOW that
the Book of Mormon is the most true book on the earth today and it
really does bless our lives. I testify these things to you in the name
of Jesus Christ amen.
