Hello Family!
This week was an awesome week, just like every week haha. The most cool thing was just seeing the difference you can have in missionary work when you are diligent and plan really hard than when you do the exact opposite. As I have told you, I have noticed my companion slowly but surely getting a little more lazy in missionary work, and that I can´t really get him to contact by himself. So lately he has been taking longer lunch breaks, riding more busses
which wastes more time, and basically when I am with him, we don´t see much success which is really a bumber, but, I get to go on a split every week. So my companion hates Krefeld, so he always goes on a split to the other place with an Elder and I get to stay in Krefeld and plan everything and do whatever I feel like doing and it is so cool to see the difference.

When I plan I really try to think of what is best and the most productive, I set goals for every hour and I make sure we follow everything planned. Our mission President said that we plan with faith so the Lord can guide those prepared to those places, then it is just our job to speak to them. I have seen that, with my companion we are lucky if we get 1 lesson in a day. This last split we got 4 lessons in a day and 3 contact numbers with 2 made out appointments. The Elder I was with spoke about the same German as I do, but, we were able to see success which was totally awesome.
I honestly have no idea how to help my companion, whenever I bring up something he says he is doing all the he can to solve the problem through prayer, and he´s exercising faith. it´s way cool that he realizes that something has to change and he´s exercising faith, but faith without works is dead and he has to actually do the things he is praying for to make any improvement, he isn´t going to just wake up one day and decide he actually likes talking to people.
Anyway, it´s good to hear from all of you, I´m glad you are all doing awesome. I´m doing awesome and I´m super happy, I haven´t had a bad day on my mission yet =P
