Liebe Freunde Liebe Familie.
Herroooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Everybody. This week as usual was a busy awesome week. This program is beginning to light on foya. Elder Partridge and I are working as hard as we can so that when we come home we have the desire to go to bed as soon as possible. And I dont think Ive ever been more tired in my entire mission. Three weeks left of the transfer and I plan to make these count and leave my legacy here in the land of Hippies and woods. Eberswalde.
Miracle: We did a ton of walking this week. To raise the stakes a little my shoes are pretty much destroyed in the insides so walking in them feels like walking on rocks. We decided that we wanted to do a lot of less and inactive work here becase the missionaries before really didn't like this place so they kind of just gave up. It's time to make this place awesome again. Anyway our plan was to go visit two less actives that lived out in booney land. Wandlitz and Klosterfelde. There are pretty much no buses to take us places and I think in total that day we did about 6 hours of walking. In the blazing heat. Humid. Terrible shoes. Sticky sweat. No water. As we were walking to our next less active we were both praying in our hearts that someone would come and save the poor little Elders and literally like one minute later after my prayer I heard "ELDERS GET IN!!!!" I looked to the left and there was our angel. Tanya. One of the members saved us and drove us to our next appointment which was still like two miles away. Now that was cool but what was even more cool was hearing her part of the story on sunday for testimony meeting. She was driving home and was just about to get there when she felt like she needed to turn around and drive down this certain rode. Lo and behold we were somehow there at the exact time. That really made me think about how the spirit and prayer works together. It is key that we always have an open heart that invites the voice of the spirit to guide us. One day we may be called to save someone so to speak and if we are not ready, if we are not tuned into the spirit we could miss out on an amazing opportunity to first of all experience a miracle, and second of all to help our fellow brother or sister.
This week we unfortunately did not get to teach Michael. But we did help him try to find a cane for his mother so I enjoyed that very much. Being able to help our great friend Michael.
We did however do a lot of service. This week was exchanges so me and another Elder from Neu Brandenburg helped a member in her garden. He dug holes and I had the great job of cutting down trees with a saw. SO MUCH FUN!!!! And then we were fed which was a perfect cherry on top to a perfect day. Also, our friend Matthias bought some little baby ducks. SOOOOO we helped build a little duck pen/stable/cage/whatever they are called for ducks. ANNNDDDDDD his girlfriend Bianca (who we had heard hated the missionaries) came over and started talking to us....IN ENGLISH!!!!!!!! Man we are getting so many great blessings and now I really do not want to leave this place. Bianca really likes us now and hopefully one day her heart will be open to the spirit and she will take the decision to follow Jesus and his Gospel.
We have another insanely busy upcoming week. Exchanges again, I have to give a talk in sacrament meeting, more service, a lesson in district meeting that I still have to prepare, Micahel (YES!!!), Matthias and his little ducks, less active work, Lots of finding and any other spiritual leads we receive. I adore this work. Never want to leave Germany. And love each and every one of you.
Tciao.
The Lord is My Shepherd.
