Subject: Saturday
Hello Family,
Happy Monday!
My week was fairly
uneventful for the first part of the week. We had a couple of good lessons, but
spent many hours tanning on the streets of Heidelberg, searching people to
teach, trying to do that in the Lords way and having a good attitude in the hot
sun. It was good. I guess 1 little note from that, a note or rather a tender
mercy was running into a dermatologist/psychiatrist man. He is a really
friendly man and we had a nice conversation about faith (as we speed walked
through the city to get to his practice) and at the end he told me what I should
do about the dry skin by my ear and near my knee. Bought some hydrocortisone
and it's getting better. He said that it was somehow related to my allergies,
anyways, healthy skin is happy skin.
Saturday was so eventful
though (that's why I've titled this email Saturday, I'm really creative :) ) We
started the day with studies and then went to our friend Antonio's house and
learned how to make a delicious spanish stew (we took videos) and shared a
lesson. Mr A and Ms M were married a few months ago and got to know each other as
Mr A started getting to know the church, they are wonderful. We went from their
to a lesson with our friend H which went really well and then a lesson with
Bruder K. H was at church for the 3rd time this week and Bruder K for the 4th
time, building good habits, we love it. We talked about the story of the woman
who was a sinner and anointed Christs feet with oil and with her tears and how we,
as we are all sinners and fall short of the grace of God, can have that type of
love and gratitude for Jesus Christ's atoning sacrifice. Then we went to the
Mormon Tabernacle choir performance in Frankfurt. That was so good. I wish I
could tell you more or express more through words, the music was so powerful,
the spirit was amazing, and the absolute best part was seeing my friends from
everywhere. Having served in Mainz, Wetzlar and Frankfurt, people from all of
my past areas were there and I just felt so full and felt so much love for them!
It was wonderful, favorite part of the night and my week easily, tender mercy
of the Lord. We found out at about 3 o'clock that day that there were still
tickets available and it worked out. Then on the way home there was a drunk
driver in front of us (or really tired or something) swerving all over the
road, after a few minutes of watching and wondering we decided to call the
police. I called the police for the first time, and in German, so exciting. On
Sunday H made it to church for the 3rd time in a row and Brother K for the 4th
week I believe, they are both doing wonderful.
I love you too!
Hayden
