It was another fun week in Germany! Thanks for the package, we ate everything in like.... 10 minutes haha, and I´m glad I can cut my own hair again, haircuts here are way expensive! It was also cool to see Tera, I
haven´t seen her in like forever. She came at the same time mail normally comes, so I just thought it was going to be another normal guy, when I saw Tera was there I was surprised!
That´s cool that you guys are traveling all over Europe now that I left the house haha. What parts of Germany have you visited? You said it was way beautiful, so you must have not gone up in my first area. Every city up there was pretty run down and gross haha. I think my favorite town I have seen so far is Würzberg, it´s not a huge town, but it´s got like 5 huge churches and a castle and a river and it looks like something you would see out of an old movie, it´s way awesome.
Last week was pretty crazy, we dropped 5 investigators because they were not progressing, and one of our investigators decided he liked his Girlfriend more than the gospel, and she said he can´t meet with us, so we lost him, and he was willing to be baptized as soon as he got an answer that this church was true. We also had another guy that would´t accept that the Book of Mormon was scripture. Last week we had like a way awesome lesson with him, talking about Jesus Christ, we used the Bible and the Book of Mormon. This guy felt the spirit way strong and ended up giving like a 10 minute closing prayer for us. But, the next time we met with him, as soon as we brought out the Book of Mormon he freaked out and said he wouldn´t accept it as scripture. We reminded him what he felt last time and that we had used it, but he denied it, he said we only used the Bible because the Bible is the only true word of God.... So, our teaching pool is now quite small. That´s okay though, because now we have more time to find the people that the Lord has prepared to receive the gospel =)
This week could end up being my last week in Coburg, I hope it´s not, but, it could be, transfer calls come on Saturday. The ward here is way awesome. The entire ward has a goal (Each person individually) to bring someone with them to Church, member, or nonmember, every Sunday for the rest of this month. Everyone fasted for it last Sunday, and, two of the families brought people to Church the very first Sunday. It was cool because one of the Families is like brand new to the Church. The Mom was baptized 4 months ago, the son about 9 and the daughter almost 2 years. They brought 2 people with them, and then our Branch President brought someone with them. Hopefully they got the rest of the ward motivated! Elder Johnson and I are meeting with every member in the Ward this month (If we both stay) to help them with this goal.
Anyway, everything is going good, and I am happy. Enjoy the rest of your vacation!
Elder Collings
I had the opportunity to participate in a Mormon Helping Hands service project. Here is the Newspaper Article, I don´t think you´ll understand much of it, but it says Elder Collings, and you can understand that haha.
