Liebe Grüße!

This week was good. The weather is getting warmer and warmer. The work is going forward. And that was this week. I'm also staying pretty fit, because we had to run so much to catch trains. Spaß. 

So this week in my studies I took a step back and tried to just focus on the basics. I read a lot in Jesus the Christ and Preach my Gospel. There is a quote from Elder Uchtdorf: 
,...are we making our discipleship too complicated?

This beautiful gospel is so simple a child can grasp it, yet so profound and complex that it will take a lifetime--even an eternity--of study and discovery to fully understand it.

But sometimes we take the beautiful lily of God’s truth and gild it with layer upon layer of man-made good ideas, programs, and expectations. Each one, by itself, might be helpful and appropriate for a certain time and circumstance, but when they are laid on top of each other, they can create a mountain of sediment that becomes so thick and heavy that we risk losing sight of that precious flower we once loved so dearly.'

Its pretty cool, and pretty true. The gospel is simple (AoF 4). 

So for those of you who are actually reading my emails, I made a mistake in my email last week. I forgot to insert a quote from CS Lewis. I can't remember what I talked about in my last email, but here it is: “We can say we believe in Christ as we believe in the sun at noon day, not that we can see it, but that by it, we can see everything else” 

Pretty cool concept.

So other than that, this week was just missionary work! I'm loving it so much. This work is amazing. 

Vielen Dank für alles! Bis nächste Woche!
