It was another super awesome week in Germany! I had a pretty cool experience this week, I was on a split with another Elder from Gladbach, we were in my place of Krefeld. We basically had an entire day of contacting ahead of us, but that was fine haha. As we planned the day out the night before, I felt like we should go through this park that is about 20 minutes away from our house. When we got there the next day, there was only like 4 people in this entire huge park. We contacted this guy, he was really stressed out and had a lot of things going wrong in his life. We started to talk about the gospel and we ended up teaching him all about the plan of salvation and the Book of Mormon and Joseph Smith.
When we told him he could pray to know all of this was true he said, "I think you two were sent from God to help me, I don´t even know why I came, I just felt like I should." He ended up saying that if he prayed about the Book of Mormon and found out is was true, he would do everything in his power to follow the example of Jesus Christ and he would get baptized. I was like giggling like a little school girl on the inside at this point because I was so excited haha. We found out he was going back home to Greece in 2 days which was a bummer, but, he would be back in a month and he really wanted to meet with us, so.... I guess we´ll see what comes out of that haha.
Other than that this place is the same, except for my companion, he gets a little more lazy every day. He takes like an hour long shower every morning so we get out to do missionary work about 45 minutes late. He doesn´t contact anyone unless I tell him to, and even then I can tell he is not doing it with faith, he´s just doing it to do it. I honestly thought that he would slowly get better, not worse, but, I am doing everything I am supposed to do and I am trying to be an example for him so I am still happy.
I am really short on time because we have an appointment with a Bishop of another Church haha, his name is Brother Aaron, I accidently scheduled the appointment during our P-Day but that´s okay. I´ll write an extra long e-mail next time!
Conman I´m proud of you, keep reading in the Book of Mormon, Kaylea I didn´t get to see your prom pictures but I will next time, I´m sure were amazing, Jessica I still can´t believe you are having a baby haha. I hope Dad decides to take me on a "business" trip in Alaska when I get back haha.
