Week 58 - Life in Hannover Week 18: Going Out with a Splash

We had a week full of miracles this week, but the biggest and best was in relation to the biggest and best; Kenneth got Baptized! He was found the last Sunday of last transfer, and baptized the last Sunday of this transfer!

This week was super cool; in addition to the baptism of Kenneth, we got to go to two additional baptisms with Kenneth, both of them in our district! There was also one other baptism in our zone, in Göttingen. 4 baptisms this weekend in zone Hannover!

Other than that, this week went by crazy fast! We had a Tausch, a district meeting with another district, a district meeting with our own district, we got to figure out some organizational mayhem relating to the coming Christmas initiative, and we were part in three baptisms!

Transfers are also this week, and our mission is getting very changed. I can't speak for the whole mission, but about half of the missionaries in our zone are being changed, including the closing of two programs.

In addition to that, I am being transferred. I will be heading very far away, to the small city of Greifswald. (Shout out to my trainer!) It is in the very northeastern corner of Germany, about 6 hours away by train. I will serve there as a Zone Leader and a District Leader. My new companion will be Elder Neale, and I'm excited!

Anyway, I hope you all have a wonderful week. I am feeling very blessed, and I hope you are as well. I know that as you strive to become a better person and to integrate the principles which were taught by Jesus into your life, you will be blessed to feel his love and acceptance of his efforts. I love you all, and wish you a wonderful week.

Liebe Grüße,
Elder Austin Spaulding
