Letters from Elder Spaulding: Week 38 - Life in Cottbus Week 20

This week was another week full of being extremely busy, but also not being extremely productive.

On Tuesday we got to meet with a less active member, "K", who is really cool. We have been working with him since I got to Cottbus, and he has been making some serious progress this transfer. Other than that, we did some finding <funny_story> A woman stopped us to let us know that she knew who we are. She was super nice, but really just wanted us to know, and I quote, "There are really lots of nice people out there who want to hear your message. I'm just not one of them!" So that was interesting. </funny_story> Other than that, our ward mission correlation meeting (or whatever it is called in English) fell out, and we had choir.

Wednesday we were in Dresden for interviews with President, man I love him, but that was our day.

Thursday we had a service project in the morning, went by on an investigator who lives far away to drop off an invitation to a few ward activities, and then did our studies. That was the day.

Friday we had a ward party, which was fantastic. One of our new investigators, "M", came, and had a really good time. I'm glad, because it was honestly super uncomfortable. But, all is well.

Saturday we had a piano concert with a very talented missionary, Elder Blackham, who is in Forst, as well as a very talented opera singer from Görlitz. None of our investigators made it, so that was a shame, but we did get to introduce ourselves to a few non members who came.

Sunday was full of church and other Sunday activities!

And today we did a deep clean of our apartment and ate some Döner. Be jealous that you have no Döner in America.

And that's about all I have the motivation to type this week. It was really a good week, certainly better than last one, we just didn't really get much done.

Naja, have a great week!

Elder Austin Spaulding
