Another Great Week in Würzburg

Hey Guess what?  It was another great week in Würzburg, like every
week haha.  This week was way cool, we set a baptismal date and we
taught more lessons this week than this area has seen in a LONG time.
The cycle before had a total of 27 lessons in 6 weeks with 1 new
investigator.  We´re on week three with 26 lessons and 5 new
investigators =)  So, things are going up and not down like they
should be haha.
    We got our new mission President this week, President Schwarz.
For the first time we had an entire zone conference in German, and, I
actually understood almost all of it (almost, not quite) he compared
Germany´s growth of the Church with Chile´s growth of the Church,
Chile is growing like 100X faster than Germany, but, he is positive
that Germany is ready to basically explode with righteousness, and I
think I´ll help haha.
    So we set one baptismal date this week, and, we really hope to set
another one this week, we have an investigator that has been
investigating for about 6 months, while we were reading his teaching
record, we noticed he had never been taught the commandments, and
after he had been taught the first three lessons, the missionaries
have only been reading a chapter in the Book of Mormon with him 2
times a week, so, he loves the Book of Mormon which is good, but,
since he has only been taught the first three lessons that 1 time 6
months ago, he has forgotten a lot of it, and he has no idea what the
commandments are.
    We saw that, and we decided that wasn´t right, so we decided to
re-teach stuff so he remembers it, and now we just started moving on to
the commandments.  He has told us he wants to know if it is true, so,
why not show him the commandments so he can choose to follow them and
get more blessings?  That´s what we did, and our last lesson with him,
we spoke about baptism, after 6 months he is starting to progress, and
so, hopefully after this week we will help him prepare for baptism.
    Andre is the person whose baptismal date we set.  He´s the 25 year

old that has been coming to church for the last 2 months and
already knows everything haha, we just have to go through the lessons
with him.  We had a little ward party last Thursday, and I ended up
talking to him for a long time, and he actually has already started
thinking about serving a mission, he is 25 right now, which means
technically he can´t, but, we have heard of some people still being
able to go at 26, but, it is way cool that even though he isn´t
baptized yet, and he doesn´t know everything about the Church yet, he
knows that it is good and has thought about serving a mission.  I
invited him to come on joint teaches with us, and he actually wants to
haha, so, we don´t really have a lot of worries about him, he´s
basically amazing.
       Everything is going good, I´m happy and doing awesome, thanks for
all of your support!
