Week 102 - Life в Ноймунстере week 13: Persians in the Parking Lot


Hey guys! We had a busy week, but I'll keep it quick.

Tuesday we met with an old investigator from Arizona. He speaks no German, and is a kindred spirit with Elder Wood. They are both really into music, and they had some fun talking about that. We will be meeting with him tomorrow (Well, Elder Wood will be because of Austausch). We finished up the day with Ward Council meeting.




Wednesday we met up with the Grühn Family for lunch, and they invited someone with them. (They mentioned that they hadn't told either party about the other, and that it was probably for the best.) We were able to share a Book of Mormon, and we will be trying to meet with her again in the near future. Later in the day we went and visited with Wolfgang, who is a newish convert here. We had a good appointment with him, and got to speak a little bit with his non member wife, and we will be eating dinner together with them all soon. She will also be joining in on watching conference. The Grühns invited them to watch (They all live in the same apartment building).


Thursday we mostly spent at the Food Bank, but we met with a less active family afterwards.

Friday was ZoKo, and we had an amazing time. I've said it once, I'll say it again, I Love President Leimer! He and his wife are incredible, and the time with them was great. It was also great to try to egg Elder Wood into letting me volunteer us to do a Roleplay in front of everyone and being told no, and then having him be asked to be the investigator anyway. It was a good time XD Also, having to renew my temple recommend reminded me how long I've been out O.o



Saturday was more running around, we had two appointments, ran off to a street display, and then had another appointment. This last one was with some Iranians, and we had to meet in a parking lot! We aren't allowed to go into a refugee home as missionaries, and they live in a little dorf with almost nothing there. It started to drizzle half way through, but thankfully it let up pretty quick. We were a silly sight, though, two Elders and three Persians huddled around a phone for translation in a parking lot. It went very well, though.









I wish you all a wonderful week ;)
