Mom and Dad!
Hi! Sorry for the late reply.
Last week was an exciting one. We got to watch all of the dominoes
of purchased tickets fall as the transfer unfolded. Luckily we didn't get to
hear or watch much in the way of train departure, which is a good thing because
that means that trains were on time and Elders and Sisters were punctual as
well.
We helped with the newly arriving missionaries and returning
missionaries. The day in Frankfurt was busy and successful as we directed
missionaries to and from the street display, where we also participated and
talked with people. The street displays are still so much fun to me. Each one
is a nice break from office work, a time specifically dedicated to talking to
people and inviting them to come unto Christ. I've come to treasure my time in
past areas more and set personal goals to share my testimony a lot when I come
home. A testimony is such a huge gift from God. He allows us to get to know
him, strengthens our faith, answers our prayers, and hopes that we in turn
choose to stand as a witnesses of His goodness so that others can come to know
and feel it as well. God is so good :)
We had a lesson with Mr A again this week. He's really busy
between work, getting his masters and working on his German but he knows it's
true. We taught the doctrine of Christ, the cleansing power of the atonement
followed by the first principles and ordinances of the Gospel: faith,
repentance, baptism, receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost and enduring to the
end. He recognized his repentance process in meeting with us, reading the
scriptures and praying more.
Mr H was baptized in Heidelberg yesterday! I sent you a picture.
That made me so happy to hear of someone who we loved and worked with so much
(still love, currently not working with) entering the waters of baptism and
making that sacred covenant with God. So good.
I love you! Thank you again for the birthday wishes and I hope you
all have a great week.
Hayden
