News from Würzburg

Hello Family!
    We had a way weird but awesome week this last week.  It started
off with a phone call from basically every investigator we have saying
that either they were sick, their Dog was sick, or their Child was
sick.  So, in one day we lost every planned lesson that we had for the
week.  So, that meant an entire week of contacting haha.  The week
actually ended up pretty awesome.  We found 3 new investigators this
week, one comes from India, he is Buddhist, but, he
believes in Jesus Christ also. He´s probably the nicest guy I´ve met in 

Germany.  He had a life changing experience
when he had a blood clot, or something like that in his head 

Now he cant feel anything on the left side of his body, and has a real
hard time moving around.  He ended up losing his job which was going
well for him, and he divorced his wife, and basically everything
changed way quick.  Now, he´s like the nicest guy ever.  He invites
people to come and eat with him all the time, and he has offered us so
many things it´s crazy.
    Another new investigator is named Patrick, he is going to College
in Würzburg, he´s 23 and he´s basically just searching for truth in
this life.
    The last guy we are most excited for.  We were actually
contacting on the street a couple of weeks ago when we saw this guy.
We contacted someone else on the street, the guy said he had no
interest, we asked if he knew someone that would have interest, he
said yes, went into a bar and brought out his friend (our new
investigator is the friend)  We talked to him for about 5 minutes and
he gave us his number and said that he´d be willing to learn more.  We
actually forgot about the number, then a week and a half later, we saw
him on the street and he asked us why we hadn´t called him yet.  We
apologized and then called him that evening haha.  For some reason,
every appointment we planned out with him didn´t go through.  The
first appointment, the buses were all messed up so we ended up being
an hour late and he had no time, the second time the zone leaders
called us and we had to go to another town at the same time we planned
on meeting with him, and then the third time we had another random
thing with the Ward pop up, but, we rescheduled it the same day and
made sure we were there an hour and a half early so to be 100% sure
with everything haha.
    Our first lesson with him was awesome, his name is Mossimo, he is
35.  He has actually investigated a lot of Churches and actively
studies the Bible.  He really liked the message of the restoration, we
ended up making out 3 lessons with him this week, we´re way excited!
    And then one more guy that isn´t a new investigator yet, but, we
are also way excited about is named Christian.  We had a lesson
with him, but didn´t set a time for the next lesson, so, that´s
why he´s not considered an investigator yet.  Our lesson with him was
way awesome, he knows a lot about the Bible, and he is not a member of
any Church currently because they all have believes against the Bible.
 He actually said that he hates the other Churches. He said, "It´s
like the Devil has taken these Churches and written their History." He
then went off for like 30 minutes about his believes... I didn´t hear
a single thing that was against what we believe haha.  As we started
talking about what our Church believes he said, "When we sat down I
would have never guessed that we had so many Believes in common... We
will definately be seeing eachother again."  He is way busy, so, it´s
hard to know when we can meet with him, he actively travels to MANY
countries delivering medicine and clothes, and he works for the
college also.  He said that it is very rare for us to find him home.
    So, this week was weird because we didn´t meet with any of the
normal people, but, we ended up finding 3 new investigators which was
awesome.  So, I guess I haven´t explained my companion at all.  His
name is Elder Scott Chambers, he comes from Hooper Utah. 
He´s apparently way good at soccer, I´ve never seen
him play, but, I´ve heard from a lot of the other missionaries that
he´s way talented, he´s a really hard worker and a cool guy.
      When he speaks German, he randomly throws English words in, even
though he doesn´t realize it, so, it´s funny to watch our
investigators faces, a lot of them know English pretty well, so when
he randomly says an  English word they always smile.
      But he is also one of the most Charitable people I´ve met.  I can
tell that he really loves the people that we teach,  he thinks really
hard on how we can help them best. He´s also a way good worker, he knows 

what needs to be done, and
we get it done.  So, that´s my companion.
   Anyway, things are going way good in Germany  Everything out here
in Germany is going pretty awesome.  We just set up an awesome plan
with the Ward to help build Unity, and the emphasis on member
missionary work.  The area President out here randomly came to
Würzburg after the last General Conference, at the
end of the meeting he asked for 10 minutes to speak to the Ward.  That
Sunday there were a lot of visitors, and the Chapel was about half
full, he looked around and he Promised the Ward that if every member
prayed for opportunities to share the gospel and then acted when the
opportunities were given to them, the entire Chapel would be filled
exactly one year to that day when he comes to visit again after
General Conference.
   I was pretty happy when I found out about this nifty promise haha,
but, the Ward really hasn´t been doing that much. So, we are having a
continuous 31 day fast for this month.  Every day this month someone
will be fasting in our Ward.  They are fasting for the opportunity to
share the gospel, and we also talked a lot about
how they have to actually do more than just pray for the opportunity,
they have to have works with their faith.  The Ward was actually way
interested in this, well, most of the ward, like 97%, they agreed to
do it, and it starts today with Sister Braun haha.
    So, we´re way excited to see how the fast goes through, we´re
expecting some awesome stories from the ward.  Anyway, I´m happy and
i´m doing great in Germany, every day is a good day.  Thanks for all
of your help and prayers!
