WHOA!!!!!!!!!!
THis week was killer man!!!!!!! oh my goodness gracious!!!! WE had such a great week. So let me just tell you all about it. ELder packer gave a promise to all the missionaries a while ago and that is that if the missionaries start teaching more then they will become better more efffective teachers. So he promised that if the missionaries teach more than 15 lessons a week then the amount of baptisms in the area will double. So for the past couple of months that has been my goal personally and our goal together. Elder paschen and i worked especially hard to achieve that. And this week we finally achieved that. We taught 16 lessons and we have five people committed to baptism. I have never seen so much success in my entire life. WE are so stoked. THe work is going amazing. I absolutley love it. It is so hard to get people to commit to baptism and to get lessons at all. Especially here in europe. But for some reason the lord has been blessing us immensly. I have fought and kicked and worked hard my entire mission to help bring people to baptism and to help them come closer to their heavenly father and sometimes it all appeared to be wasted effort because the people here are, as many prophets of the book of mormon would call them, hardened and stiff necked. However we have seen that not all are lost not all are fallen. We have come to the knowledge that there are many people here that are open, whose hearts have been softened and whose spirits are contrite. I am so greatful that the lord has prepared these people for us to teach at this time. Evelyn Grabler, Gerd, Famos Idahosa, Dupe Itoham Idahosa, and alfred are the names of the special children of God that we are preparing for baptism at this point. They are all so cool. I love them all with all my heart. All that i desire for them is their salvation and eternal life and as it says in john 17:3 , "this is eternal life to know God and his Son Jesus CHrist" that is all we are helping them to do. Come to that knowledge. I would have to say that this week was the best of my mission. I love my companion. WE get along so well. It is great. WE talk all the time adn we talk about everything. ELder paschen. He is so great.
AS for home life and your questions. say hi back to patrick and hillary for me when you see them again. SChönbrunn is the pictures that you see attached. it is a palace here. one of the most beautiful things that i have everseen in my life. Even though when we got there last week it rained cats and dogs. It rained so hard that it soaked through my umberella. ya it was intense.
Golden eagle cool. You should send pics. That would also be cool.
Devin didnt involve me. he didnt tell me anything. he just said that things are going rough again at home. He was only honest. you shouldn´t keep things from me mom. I am a member of this family too. i am here to help. I dont think about that crap during the week anyhow. I have to focus on other peoples salvation so it doesnt bother me and i dont get distracted. I have p-day so that i can "prepare" myself for the week. I can know what is going on at home and you can let me know what is going on, on p-day so that i dont have to walk in the darkness adn wonder what is going on with my family during the week. That would be distracting if i didnt know how you all were doing. That is why we write emails. Just think about it. If i didnt write you on a p-day, you would spend the rest of the week worrying about why i didnt write. whereas if i did write and you knew that i was ok you probably wouldn´t be as worried about how i was doing. All i am asking is a little communication. You cant do it all on your own. That is pride. LEt me also know. I am doing great. I am going on preaching the gospel with the power of the spirit and with the voice of a trump. The lord is on my side. and for that i am greatful.
GREATEST LOVE
ELDER ADAMS
