One Month in Germany

This week has been pretty good.  Elder Frost and I have been doing a lot of finding.  We found some pretty cool people.  We're teaching this one guy Luka.  First time we taught him was Tuesday and we asked him if he wanted to meet again so we taught him on Wednesday and then we asked him if he had time on Thursday so we are teaching him again tonight actually.  Every time we teach him- like we taught him about the Plan of Salvation and what happens after death and he thinks it makes so much sense.  He has always had so many questions about religion and so we’ve been able to answer them.  Its been really good.

We were teaching this family about the book of Mormon- they are Muslim and they were asking about how Muslims fit into the book of mormon.  We were explained that the beginning of the book takes place before Mohammad.  Elder Frost made a time line so they could see how it all fit together. One of the guys looked at us and said “you’re a liar”. They thought we said Mohammad was born in Germany- we had to explain thats not what we were saying.  Anyway it got pretty tense and we don’t think we will be going back..

We started doing family home evenings with some of the less active members and some of the Young single adults.  We use to do it at the church but now we do it at at members house.  That has really helped with attendance.  We get a lot more people.

So on P-day there’s not a ton to do other that visit  cathedrals and castles and stuff. So we don’t really do a ton. Last week we had a really fun day with our district (pictures below). It was super fun.

We’ve just been working hard- just really trying to find people to teach.

My scripture for the week is D&C 6:36

Look unto me in every thought; doubt not, fear not.

There are a lot of things we don’t know and and a lot of things that can be difficult and sometimes we can even have doubts.  Doubts are normal. Everyone has doubts and thats ok but if we look to the lord then we don’t have to let the doubts linger we don’t have to have fear linger because our Savior is there for us.  Jesus is the son of God. He is the Messiah.  He can take all of our pains and all of our sorrows. He can take it an make a strength.

I love you all and I hope everything is going well back home.

Much love

Elder Miner
