Hey friends, this has been hands down the busiest week of my
mission, but it has been really good as well. I don't have tons of time, but
here we go!
Last Monday was super cool, after P-Day we had an awesome
appointment. We met a man who said that he would love to meet with us, but only
gave us a general area to come and meet with him. We spent about thirty minutes
looking for his house, and had almost given up. BUT US BEING LATE WAS PERFECT!
We thought that maybe he had just punked us, but apparently if we had been on
time we would have just totally missed him. We had a great appointment, and are
excited to try and meet with him again.
On Tuesday we had zone interviews, and the zone leaders run
that day. It was a nightmare, but we got it done. We, however, didn't get an
opportunity to have interviews with him.
The next day we had tausch with the assistants to the
president in Berlin, We had "Interviews" with president via phone
call while we were on the way.
In Berlin I was with Elder Skidmore, and we spent the day
primarily finding. We managed to give out four Books of Mormon and find 8
contacts, which doesn't happen. It was really cool.
On Thursday morning we headed from Berlin almost directly to
Göttingen for TWO baptismal interviews. They went really well, and both of them
were baptized yesterday! We also accidentally stole Göttingen's keys, which
caused a whole bunch of drama further down the line. They meet for church in
the third floor of an office building (they are a really small branch) in
Göttingen, and their bathroom is across the hall, outside of the area that the
church owns. Elder Heywood needed to use the bathroom, and they gave him the
keys to unlock the door. They almost ended up needing to sleep in the church
that night.
Friday was basically our only day with anything resembling
free time, so we dumped all of our appointments in there. We gave a less active member a blessing, and had two lessons with investigators. The train that Göttingen
took to come pick up their keys ended up being over an hour late, so after
waiting for them for a good thirty minutes they had to come hunt us down at the
church later that day.
On Saturday we had a zone harvest day. We had fasted the day
before as a zone that we would have success and see miracles the next day. It
went pretty well in the zone, but Elder Heywood woke up with a bad migraine, so
we mostly stayed home and I did some paperwork. That evening we went to
Braunschweig to do another baptismal interview. I got to do that one, and I was
really scared. It was the first one that I have done. I would love to
elaborate, but I am super out of time. I'll finish next week.
