Week 57 - Life in Hannover Week 17: A Week of Meetings

Hello, my friends, here's another dose of pure, concentrated, Elder Spaulding. I hope it isn't too much for you to handle.

This week was begun with Halloween, or rather, Reformationstag. It was the 500th anniversary of the beginning of the protestant movement by Martin Luther in Wittenberg, Germany. We were told to be home by 18:00 in case it got crazy. It didn't seem to, but it was still really cool to be here for that.

Other than that, this week mostly consisted of meetings. We had Zone Conference on Wednesday, where a big topic was Martin Luther and the Restoration, as well as a Thema on how to more effectively work with Muslims.

We also had Stake Conference in Hannover on Saturday and Sunday, and Kenneth came to both sessions. We are super excited for him, and feel that he'll be baptized soon.

I'm out of time, but I want to invite you all to study Jacob 5 when you get a chance. It is the longest chapter in the book of Mormon, and naturally, there are a few things to learn from it. The main message that I take away is the level of God's involvement in our lives. He toils and frets for our sakes, and is anguished when we hurt ourselves or others, thus producing wild fruit. He does everything in his power to help us, short of violating our agency.



Have a great week, you all!

Liebe Grüße,
Elder Austin Spaulding
