Week 5 of Training

Well i hope your week went well. The week here was pleasent. we had some training and some good meetings and some good lessons so i cant complain. the stress of training and missionary work is getting to me and elder p so we had a day where we blew up at each other, but it was good because we now understand one another a lot more and are working together on fixing the problems and making it more enjoyable for the both of us.

The week

monday was good. we did emails and then right afterwards we met with emmanuel! he is sooo cool. he is from ghana. such a cool guy. we ahd a great lesson and then invited him to baptism. well he didnt agree ebcause he is worried about having to be baptised twice. we invited him to pray about it and he accepted. he also accepted the invitation to read. so he is solid. we then had FHE with the dessin family which was so cool. we didnt have a gator there but the sisters did and it was a lot of fun. that night since we didnt do it earlier, we went shopping.

tuesday we did some service which is always fun. we also met with br g. we had a fallen out appt so we went by a lot of contacts and talked to a lot of people on the street. we then had an appointment with herr s. he is so cool. we figured out that he meets with the j-dubs as well once a week. thats a bummer.

wednesday we had zone training meeting. at the begginign it wasnt so great but then it got better and my mood improved so i wanted to learn more. it was good. we then helped br g move some stuff. and then talked to people on the street the rest of the day. nobody wanted to meet with us but we had some solid conversations and gave a young man a book of mormon.

thursday we did a lot of walking and talking to people. we also did some doors. then all of our appointments fell out...bummer eh? haha. but its all good. we had a great discussion with bishop at the end of the day and we really did try our best.

friday we met with fabian. such a cool kid. he has a testimony of the gospel and the church, he just has so much opposition that he cant join the church right now. if he did so much stuff will happen. for only being 19 and having to deal with all that he is dealing with, he is awesome! we also met with rene and that was great. we invited him to baptism, but he declined. he said that he is not yet ready. no problem. but now he knows what we expect and where we see all of this going.

we then met with br eichelbaum with the sisters and had a very pleasant eating appointment. we then met with rosa and br dessin. that went well. then some study.

sunday was good. br greb came on time! the lessons were good and after the first hour an older man walked in and said he wanted to look at our church. well he stayed for the next two hours and was really interested in it. i invited him to come on thursday. we shall see if he comes.  we then had a great eating appointment with fam richte and then met with fam lindenau to help them with their missioanry work.

thats realy it for the week. we are super busy and trying our best to help our gators to progress and really make a decision. haha.

thank you for all you do and we will talk next week
