Schoen von euch zu hoeren,
Gruess euch!!!
Well this week has been another amazing week filled with powerful testimony and lots of love. I love these people so much. Even when they act against Gods commandments. I feel even then a greater love for them and want them to repent so that they can enjoy the full blessings that Heavenly Father wants for them, and that they can recieve when they are baptized! Its great to preach repentance and baptism.
I am doing great we had the opportunity on p-day last week to clean. That helped alot with my allergies. I found that apparently missionaries don't know how to clean an apartment properly and for that very reason there was a layer of dust everywhere that caused me to sneeze anytime anybody moved. So all is better now. I made the apartment super clean and finally got unpacked and a little bit comfortable. I've built up a decent relationship with the branch here, and president condie called me this morning and asked me to , "pack your bags you're coming back to München and then we'll send you off from there. We've got a couple of tasks for you." Im pretty stoked. I have already worked in the entire mission as Assistent, i know basically how its going to work in most of the wards and areas in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. i am just a little bit afraid that i really am going to turn to dust by the end of my mission. Here with elder jacklin has been great. Its been lots of running because the busses here are just that awesome. and I believe that for this last little bit of time im going to push myself harder than ever before. Im not sure if thats possible but that is how exchanges work. something that i love about exchanges is that, that is the time when you are allowed to expect miracles. You pray, invoke the powers of the heaven and then go to town. you give everything you've got and about 200% more and then that is where you have an experience like in the scriptures and 10,000 souls are added to the church. i love having faith in such experiences that God blesses us with them when we live faithfully and give that what we have to him. There is a great scripture about that in Doctrine and Covenants 124:49. In that section that is where the Lord commands them to build a temple or a house to His name and that is what he says about the work that they are supposed to do. It is also with us. When we are commanded to do something, anything, then he expects that we do it. however when we are destroyed in the doing so, or held back from accomplishing that from some unknown source than he will accept our sacrifice. But in the seeing of our sacrifice i have seen where he blesses us and helps us to accomplish that which he has commanded us to do. (1 ne 3:7)
Speaking of Temple and sacrifice, i have not been there in a long time. It would be a great wish from me that when i come home the first thing to do after i step of the plane is to go strait to the temple. Can you arrange that, maybe the salt lake temple?
I dont have anymore vitamins. i gave them to an old couple missionary as i was in innsbruck. Allergy stuff i dont think i have had since my first summer. but its ok. i have lived without drugs for the last two years i think i will be ok for a little longer.
As for the money. They cant reimburse it into my perspnal account they dont have access to that. They reimbursed it into my MSF account and then i just take that money and put it into my personal fund. i have the money. all is well in ingolstadt/zion.
Life is going great. i am still kicking. and baptising. We set a couple of baptismal dates this week as well and a couple who were going to get baptised here got into some anti stuff and no longer want to meet with us. But its ok what satan doesnt know is that the anti's make us stronger.
I love you all and wish you a wonderful week. any questions and comments about my service or my driving just call 1-800-TAUFE
SERVUS!!! LOVIES!!!!!!
