Moin moin!
lololol Hermana (Megan)
Mittleman just throwin' out that they had a baptism like she's talking about
the good book she came across the other day. ALRIGHTY THEN. hahaha nur spaß.
THAT’S SO COOL. I was totally stoked when I read that!!! Man, that's really
cool.
SOoooo this week was coool.
This guy we found last week met with us again, Edmund, we talked
about the Book of Mormon and Joseph Smith, He even came to church last
week! That was a cool miracle. He couldn't make it this week, but we meet
tomorrow, so hopefully we can ask him more about how he is feeling about it
all.
We were able to meet with Frau D A LOT this week, which is reallly a
dream come true. Meeting with someone who IS INTERESTED. I know what some of
you may be thinking.... Just meeting with an investigator, that's normal,
oder?? NOT IN MY PAST 4 TRANSFERS OR SO. Seriously can we all just take a
moment to appreciate all the little miracles in our lives that we take for
granted. Thank you! Now do it again!! We have been through the basics with her,
the Book of Mormon, and Joseph Smith. We watched the restoration short film
with her, and she totally cried!! We were all feeling the spirit there in her
little kitchen pretty strongly. She is pretty informed, like I said. So a lot
of the time she just asks questions about how things work, or doctrine specific
questions. I love her! She came to church with her husband, and her 8 yr old,
and their little baby. They looked like a normal cute little family sitting
there! So we went and talked with her this morning, we were going to bring a
joint teach, but that fell out. Schade! So there are some personal things she
wants to take care of that are troubling her, so she is unsure if she will make
the 9th of May. BUT she still knows she wants to get baptized SOONer than
later. Both Sister Brim and I know she can totally make it. We are hoping that
as we continue to meet and as she comes to church, and grows in testimony she
too will realize she is ready, and worthy to enter into this covenant. We have
still to start 'formally' teaching her husband and other kids, but that's a
work in progress! They're such a cool family!!!
One of our less actives came to church yesterday, she actually knows
Frau D and helped her in the process of choosing to meet with the
missionaries!!! She had come last week, and last week AND this week she stayed
allllll three hours!!! And then after the second hour, we were just sitting
there waiting for FHV (Relief Society) to start, and all of a sudden she throws
out 'I quit smoking!' and we were just speechless almost. MIRACLE. She is such
a low key quiet lady, I love her. No quatschin around with her. We meet with
her tomorrow so I am excited to talk more!!
So with G7 there were police EVERYWHERE in the middle of the city.
They even rerouted all the busses to go around instead of through. That was a
teensy bit inconvenient but okay. We came out of a store last Monday, and there
in the street there were all of these people with flags and then this truck with
music blaring out. Super awesome and had demonstration written all over it.
hahahha there were a few moments like that this week, but other than, that,
nothing too crazy!
Sister Brim is doin well! (No I am not just saying that because I
know her mom reads my blog...shout out to Mamma Brim) I really love her, just
the way she says things is hilarious!! And her German is solid. She can speak
really fluently, although not always perfectly (lets be real no one can speak
perfect German here) I am always impressed at how well she speaks for being
almost 8 months out. I am really grateful that she is my companion, she makes
me smile :)
Best thing this week was feeling the spirit so strongly with Frau D
Challenging.... agency is hard!!!! (But, alas, nothing we can do for
that)
Funny moment- we were klingeling, and I pressed the bell, and then
it got stuck!!! I could totally hear it ringing from inside and then this old
lady opened the door and I was standing there trying to get the little button
unjammed. Haha that was really funny. Wish y'all could have seen that moment.
Everyday, in my own life, and in just observing the lives and
conversations of others, I am continually reminded of how hard life is. It's
pretty rough sometimes. It's not easy. I have totally had those moments, where
I just sit there and think, "why does this have to happen?"
WHY. That is a gooood question. After much thinking and contemplating I have
realized the simple answer. LIFE IS JUST THAT WAY. I know that everything
serves a purpose in our lives. I know it. I know that Heavenly Father has
something in store for each of us. But we have to show our faith in Him and
keep pushing forward. No matter how small our progress is. He will help us to
understand. We don't understand everything He does. We just don't!!! Something
we just have to accept. I know that through the Savior, everything is possible.
We can get the comfort and strength we need. I know that God loves us. His plan
is perfect. We have so many reasons to rejoice. I love you.
wünsche euch eine schöne Woche
Sister Mittleman
