This was a pretty quiet week for us, and nothing super crazy happened. We had a couple lessons that went really well. Right now our Friends of the Church (investigators) consist of a pool of about 3 people. We are working hard with them and have had some really good experiences. It is amazing to meet people who are so willing and ready to accept Jesus Christ and his love into their lives. There are not a lot of people here who are willing to really talk to us and try out our message, but there are always a couple who are amazing and prepared. It is a testimony to me of the truthfulness of our message.
We had one rather interesting experience this week that doesn't happen very often. We had a lady who used to be an investigator of the Linz Sisters text us. She had all of the lessons about two years ago but said she was unsure about all of it. But when we met with her she told us that she would like to be baptized and become a member of the church. She has forgotten much of the lessons, but we are going to do our best to help her achieve her goal. We are also going to be starting a German course for a member of our ward who can't speak German and very little English. More news on how that goes next week. Please pray for our German skills ha ha.
I hope you all had a great New Year and break!! There were a lot of fireworks going off here, but nothing super crazy. The holidays on the mission give us a chance to talk more with the members and build better friendships with them. It is amazing to meet so many different people and hear their stories. There are a lot of amazing members here.
Scripture of the week: 1 Nephi 19:9 And the world, because of their iniquity, shall judge him to be a thing of naught; wherefore they scourge him, and he suffereth it; and they smite him, and he suffereth it. Yea, they spit upon him, and he suffereth it, because of his loving kindness and his long-suffering towards the children of men.
It is amazing to think about how much love Jesus Christ has for us. He offered himself, fully aware of what would occur, as a sacrifice for us. He loves us so much He made it possible for us to return to Him. He is the way and He is the path. He has made it possible to be whole again. I am so grateful for what He has done for me. He is one of my best friends. Through Him we can feel light where before was only darkness. Because of Him, we need not wonder in paths of unknown, but have the opportunity to strive with knowledge of the direction of where we are going. This week I would challenge you all to try and improve your relationship with Jesus Christ. He loves you and knows you and all that you go through.
I love you all!
