The title means "Week number 5,
heck yeah baby!"
The last week of my first cycle. This
has been an amazing first cycle. My comp has been amazing and life has been
great! I am happy and that is all that matters. So just a little bit of
mission lingo, every cycle is 5 years, where you first serve is your
birthplace. I am so happy I am serving my first cycles out here in Erlangen.
Seriously I hope I spend my entire mission in the Bayern area, I love the
people and everything out here. So amazing.
Funny story: So out here in the Bayern
area people say Servus as a greeting. It's like hello, but they don't use that
anywhere else, cause directly translated it means "slave'. So people are just
walking down the street saying "Slave"!! Haha it makes me laugh.
So this week we have had quite a few
miracles, one of the really cool ones was meeting with this guy named Mina from
Egypt ! We didnt have anything really planned so we were just walking around
dropping in on some less actives and some refferals. Mina was a referal and we
were lost for years trying to find him. We stopped at a park to sit down to try
and find his adress, we finally find the right place and we show up totally
unnannounced . He answers the door and we explain thet we were just in the
neighorhood and wanted to drop by. He tells us that he literally just got home 1
minute before us and it was a miracle that we got him because he is so busy! He
said he was out at a park before and he said his "insides" were
telling him to go home. So he went home and we show up 1 minute later. If we
hadn't gotten lost and if he had not felt the way he did to go home we never
would have met him! So he is our buddy now, he is a refugee\ student and he
said he was so gratful for us stopping in cause he feels like he has no friends
and he is lonley. So we are working with Mina right now, he is an awesome guy.
Shoot up a couple of prayers for this guy, he is awesome and has so much
potential!
Our ward situation is going great, the
more and more we meet with them the better things seem to go! We were having a
hard time at first but after that world leadership braodcast things are going
much smoother and we are actually getting refferals and offers to teach in
member homes (we just need to find people that are willing to be taught), haha, but seriously life is grand!
Here is my scripture of the week, I like this one because every Book of Mormon we hand out has this scripture pre
marked!! It is Moroni 10: 4-5!
"And when ye shall receive these
things, I would exhort you that ye would ask God, the Eternal Father, in the
name of Christ, if these things are not true; and if ye shall ask with a
sincere heart, with real intent, having faith in Christ, he will manifest the
truth of it unto you, by the power of the Holy Ghost. And by the power of the
Holy Ghost ye may know the truth of all things."
It is so true, all anyone needs to do
is go down in prayer and ask if the things are true and they will get and
receive an answer from the Holy Ghost if they are ready!
I love you guys! You are so awesome! Sorry this week is a little short, I gotta run and get some stuff done!!
LOVE ELDER ANDERSON!!
