I was kind of hoping I wouldn't have to pick anything for a plaque... Decisions are just hard. ummm... I'm thinking 2 Chronicles 21:15 is a nice one. As far as pictures are concerned, you can use whatever you want. OR the attached. just kidding. I would seem to've left my cable in the apartment. But the one I meant is the one with my face in front of squaw peak/provo temple that I sent you a printed one of. but yeah, whatever floats your yacht.
My week has been awesome.
So yeah, this week has been pretty exciting. We did a lot of walking... let's see, what have I done with my life? One thing that was really cool - On Tuesday night we visited a less active member for her birthday, and her granddaughter was there, and we started talking to her about why we're here as missionaries, and our relationship with God and agency, and she seems pretty interested. Her grandma bore testimony to her as well which was awesome, so now we're teaching her - our hope is that it will really help them both come in/more fully into the church and gain stronger relationships with their Heavenly father.
Then on Wednesday, we did a Tausch after our district meeting, so I went up to Kiel and worked with Elder Stevenson, one of the Zone leaders - we did a lot of running around and talking to people, including doing doors inside of some school housing - most of the people there were really friendly and showed at least a polite amount of interest - One guy let us in, and we taught him basically the first lesson, then thursday morning we went back and gave him a Book of Mormon.
Yeah, I guess those were a couple exciting things about my week... It's quite the party out here.
Oh - so my lost piece of luggage finally made its way back to me the other day - it was really funny, because in our mailbox, there was this slip of paper, saying they'd left it with a neighbor - but the slip said, "The package belongs to Mr. __Jesus Christ__" which I found amusing.... so yeah, I went and got it. The cookies that grandma sent me were in there, since I only had a day or two between when I got them and when we left the MTC - so they were pretty much crushed to a pulp, but still taste good, so I've been eating them little by little like cereal. It's great.
Anyhoodles, I know this church is true, I'm excited to be out here serving the people of Germany. Even if most of them are under the impression that its not a service... I know that as I humble myself and look to Christ for strength, he will help me gain the faith to follow him more fully. I have no problem with loving the people, but sometimes I struggle with trying to help that love motivate me to bother them with a message that could immensly improve their lives. I know, though, that as I continue to share it, I will become more comfortable with it and God will help bring those who are prepared to recieve it to me, or, probably more often, me to them. I know that through Christ we can improve our lives, and we can choose to happiness, by choosing to accept him and to follow him. In his name, Amen.
