Mom and Dad,
You have a married son!
Congratulations!! Thanks for sending the pictures so quickly, I really need to
be better at that. I'll try to send some from my iPad today, I planned time to
send pictures then left my camera in the apartment, sorry about that. They look
so happy. Have a good
recovery week on the homefront.
My week wasn't quite as exciting, but it was up there. Seeing as we
found Mr H again we had 3 lessons with him and he has now accepted the word
of wisdom and is working on it. We also met with our friend Mr L, from Peru
but has grown up in Germany. We met him with a family in the German
congregation who knew him well from last year when you was investigating the
church more. That was a special lesson. As much as we missionaries study, pray,
and prepare, nothing can replace the relationships and friendships that members
build. Missionaries leave, members of the church can make a lifelong friend.
Over the weekend the Freiberg
temple was rededicated and we were able to visit 2 of the 3 re-dedication sessions. Elder Mejia translated for the first and we visited the following one
normally. Elder
Uchtdorf presided and shared messages in his native tongue. It was really
cool to hear him speak German, and the messages were powerful. He told a story
that brought the scripture in Matthew 25 to
life, inasmuch
as ye have done it unto one of the least of these, my brethren, ye have done it
unto me. We need to be Christlike and treat others as we would treat Christ
if he were here. Full of love.
Brother K made the
comment that prayer is the most important thing for him and that made me really
happy.
I love you so much and
wish I had more time to write in a more organized way, have a great week!
Hayden
