Hey fam, Elder Spaulding Here! I hope that you're all alive
and well, I know that I am!
To keep things short (sorry, that's what I do) Tuesday and
Wednesday of last week were spent in Schwerin and Rostock respectively; Elder
Sinclair and I did a double Austausch. We headed to Schwerin on Tuesday morning
and spent the day there with Elders Simoni and Noland, and hit up the city
hard! At the end we had a pretty big service project, where we all came
together and helped a member who is doing some pretty significant renovations
on his house.
On Wednesday we started out with district meeting in
Rostock, gave a pretty decent German tip, ate some pretty good food (Missionary
couples are the best), and then once again, hit up the city. Elder Nelson took
advantage of our car, and we went and hit up some contacts which would have
been very hard to visit otherwise. We then headed home and slept in our own
beds.
The rest of the week was fairly uneventful, sadly many of our
investigators have up and disappeared. We did have a few appointments, though,
and had a blast with them. There is a really old guy in our area named Manfred
who up and found the missionaries himself a few months ago. He honestly doesnt
have too much interest, but is loads of fun to visit. He has the heart of a
young ox, if I do say so myself. He uses more slang than any other German I've
ever met (including teenagers) and is an absolute hoot.
We also got to meet with Devin and Gina, a young couple who were
almost baptized over a year ago. They stopped investigating due to problems
with their unmarried status, but we called them a few weeks ago, and found out
that they are now engaged! They are super cool, and we are more than excited to
be able to prepare them to be baptized after their wedding.
Enjoy the pictures, and no, I won't give you any context.
It's better that way.
LG,
Elder Austin Spaulding
