Hello Family,
Change of plans hosting
two students instead of one, and what a turn around for Austin and Emily.
Growing up with 3 boys and one girl, changing to 3 girls and one boy in the
house. Thanks for the run down of the activities of the week.
Mr J. [DN:
Hayden sent a picture of Mr J, Hayden and his companion with the comment about
Mr J’s recent baptism. So we asked who is Mr J] Probably in my first transfer here in Frankfurt
I talked to a man on his bike, we traded information and visited him the
following day at the Dönner
Laden where he works [DN: A Dönner is sort of like a Gyro sandwich]. This man said that he didn´t have any time on
that day, but that he had invited his friends. Mr J was there and two other
friends as well. Mr J had already read the Book of Mormon 2 or 3 times because
he found it after a missionary somewhere gave him a card. We taught him once
using google translate and invited the missionaries from the international ward
to teach them because they were already working with Persian speakers. Mr J was
baptized and is an awesome member missionary, he´s invited lots of the other
new converts in the Frankfurt international ward. Seeing how prepared he was it
was really just a matter of time before he found the church. That was another
cool experience and testimony of how the Lord guides those who are seeking
truth. Ask, seek and knock.
In the past week we
spend some good time with a few member families in the ward. Brother B, who is
moving soon to Nepal to help impoverished children. Sister S who is 22 and one
of the ward missionaries. He served his mission in England and we have a lot of
fun together and Sister S´s mom who has a really cool story of how she found
the church, feeling the spirit as the missionaries testified of the role of the
Holy Ghost and being baptized about 2 weeks later.
The R family came to
church last week which was really exciting. Life is slightly less stressful, so
they were able to make it. (they have a lot going on) The family is from
Columbia and Venezuela and we do our best to teach and communicate in Spanish.
Sister R´s son´s girlfriend isn´t a member yet and is starting to investigate
the church.
It is so cool to see how
the relationship to God and to Jesus Christ is so meaningful and powerful to
each of these people in different ways. I know as well that Jesus Christ is the
Son of God. He took upon himself the sins of the world, the sins of each
individual so that we can repent and have lasting peace and happiness.
I love you all,
Hayden
