Week 16 - Erfahrungen

Hallo Alles! Mir geht es sehr gut. Deutschland ist einfach
fantastische. Ich hoffe das es euch alles gut geht.

 

In this email I would like to just share an experience that I have had
recently. Isn't it crazy that I left to the MTC almost 4 months ago?
Time is going by so fast.

 

In this part of the Frankfurt mission, we do a lot of dooring. We have
probably knocked on like a thousand doors. This last week, someone
actually let us in! My companion and I seriously thought it was a
joke. We had barely introduced ourselves as missionaries for The
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, when he just said 'yeah
come in.' My companion and I just looked at each other and then walked
in. It was so unexpected. We have never actually been let in before.
We ended up just talking about The Book of Mormon and the questions
that it answers to a young married couple, and the wife is 7 months
pregnant. She is from the Philippines and he is straight up Deutsch.
We read Moroni 10 with them and set another appointment with them. At
the end of the discussion, the wife said the prayer. It was amazing,
but no baptismal date... Yet.

 

It is experiences like these when I realize why I am here, and how
much the gospel is a blessing for the family. A scripture that I think
captures this really well is Moroni 8:10. Imagine how many lives could
be blessed from one couple accepting, living, and teaching the gospel
to their children. Then them to their children, and their children,
and so on. The happiness and the joy that comes from the restored
gospel is THE biggest blessing for the family, and through it we can
take our relationships into eternity.

 

Vielen Dank für die Stützung! Gott sei mit euch. Bis nächste Woche.
