     So this week we made a goal to talk to more people and not only to talk to them but to talk to them about the gospel. 

 

     Tuesday we were going to the Mensa to talk to students. On the way on the bahn this guy was reading our badges and I was like if you are going to read my badge I am going to talk to you haha. So I just pointed to it as he was reading it and asked if he has heard about the church? It is funny how people don´t think we see them staring at us haha. He said no and then we were able to explain a little bit and explain the Book of Mormon. It was a cool experience until he was about to get off and he said he was Baptist and didn´t want the Book of Mormon haha. Then when we got to the Mensa we talked with 2 girls there and they were really nice but no success. After that we went to meet with our Ward mission Leader and have a meeting. It went pretty wel. I feel like he knows what he is doing. After the meeting both us and the Elders had planned to do finding on Bahns. We went together and we did Sister Elder splits. For the first half I sat by Elder Clement and Sister Zenger was with Elder Burger. We could of course still see and hear each other. We had a lot of cool experiences that night but I will just tell one. So we were talking with this guy and he had no interest and when he got up and left we saw this other guy laughing at us. We just ignored it and then we talked with this lady that sat down by us and half way through the conversation the laughing guy asks us where we are from and so we tell him. Then we tell him why we are here and what we do and he found it really impressive. I ended up being able to explain the Book of Mormon including the Restoration and then bore my testimony about prayer. He said he didn´t have any interest in meeting with us but that he respects us and I know that he felt the Spirit so maybe that was all he need at this point in his life.

 

     Wednesday we were able to meet with the wonderful Angelika we talked about knowledge with her and it went really well. She framed a picture of Sister Miller and I and put it up in her house :) HOW CUTE! After that we met with the Pink family and that went well. We were able to watch the Restoration with them and Sister Zenger was really bold I am ready for them to come back to CHURCH!!! After that we had ward night and Kristin showed up and we were able to teach her with her grandma. It was really good we watched the Restoration with her and she loved it. We also told her that she had to start meeting with Elders because she isn´t in our area and she said that was ok but that she wants to be in the Essen ward....oh child she should have moved in the Essen boundaries then! She also says she wants to be baptized as soon as she can! Those lucky elders!

 

     Thursday we had District meeting where we set goals for the rest of the year in our areas. That was fun....then we decided that would have a competition between Oberhausen and Essen with contacting. We made a point system and whoever wins the other team buys them something! I think that will help me talk with more people haha! After that we met with Sister Heerhorst and man she is super nice but she needs to stop making excuses of why she can´t come to church. Her goal it to be able to go back into the temple but she can´t reach that if she isn´t going to church.

 

     Friday we had Zone Training which was good I learned a lot and hopefully will improve from what I learned. It was also fun to see Sister Miller again and for her to meet my daughter (Sister Zenger). After that we met with Sister Lichius and practiced introducing the Book of Mormon with her. She said she would pray to know which friend she needs to share the gospel with. She is AWESOME!

 

     Saturday we went by on a less active that wasn´t there and then we met with Xicwjun with Dominic and that was an awesome lesson! We talked about how God is our loving Heavenly Father and prayer and she was amazed about prayer she couldn´t believe that it was true. She thought it was so cool! It is super nice to have an investigator with so much excitement to learn at the end of the lesson she thanked us! That was an awesome feeling!

 

     Sunday Kristin came to church and she loved every second of it. We met with her after and then set up the next appointment when we would met with her and the Elders together. She wants to get baptized so bad haha. She first needs to know what she is doing though. After Kristin we went to our appointment with Hedda but she forgot about us but we set up a new one for Wednesday and we got a call from some Elders and they gave us a referral so that is exciting! 

 

I am really looking forward to this coming week I feel like it is going to be full of stories!

 

LOVE YOU ALL
