It is already the last week of the
transfer. Menschen kinder this transfer has gone by so fast! I literally feel like
it was just yesterday that I was meeting Elder Ruff at the Düsseldorf Bahnhof.
Aghh, the 6th week, always full of excitement and fun. I think that Elder Ruff
and I have at least one more cycle together though. We have been doing some
real good work down here. The ward is really starting to see the light and for
the last month every week of church has been focused on member missionary work
and the importance of it! It has been pretty cool seeing this ward make the
progress that it has made. It’s not there yet, but after about 3 months of
grunting and groaning, the boulder that is the Solingen Ward is getting ready
to roll.

So last week was a little bit slower.
Everyone just sorta fell of the face of the map. But that is okay. It is
teaching me how to be more patient. And it gave us time to go do a ton of door
to door contacting. yay. Haha.
We haven’t met with Steven in over
a week, he says he is always busy! Shoot!! Hopefully we can get in with him
this up and coming week!
Good news, Kyle (name changed for blog) has a baptismal date
for the 28th of December! Yay, we are meeting with him 2 times a week and the
lessons are going really really well. He has made so much progress and I love
the guy! Such a good spirit about him! He is studying German law, so he has a
really complicated vocabulary, meeting with him is really helping my overall
understanding of German!

The door to door that we did this week
was actually pretty good. We went out one day and knocked doors for literally 4
hours. Just walking through Solingen and then into Wald and then Ohligs. Just
knocking doors. This is where the cool contacting story of the week comes into
play. Me and Elder Muller paired off for a little bit and knocked on about 50
doors. Everyone said no "kein zeit" . It was getting really late and
we were all like, “ok lets just go home now.” But Elder Muller was like
Anderson, let’s go hit just one more house! So we did, and lo and behold, they
not only listened to us for more than 5 seconds, they made out an appointment
and they wanna meet again! We spent about 30 min with them just talking and bearing
testimony. It is crazy how when you are in those situations the Lord helps
makes your German near perfect. So that was not only the contacting story of
the week but it was also the miracle of the week. It was such a crazy
experience, I am so happy to have had it!!
The work is really going great out
here and I really am so blessed that I am able to serve out here in Germany! I
am learning a ton and it is going great! Thank you guys so much for all the
support that you give me. I love you guys so much, thank you thank you. Being
out here has really really made me realize the importance of families. You guys
mean the world to me, thank you for everything!
Scripture of the week is : Philippians
4:13 I can do all things through Christ Which strengtheneth me! Remember that,
you can do anything and overcome anything through Jesus! That scripture has
really helped me out while I’ve been out here and had tough days. Just helps me
realize what is really important in the big scheme of things!
I love you guys! Thank you for
Everything! Bis nachste woche!
Love Elder Anderson!!

| The message sent with pic: "You might wanna blur out 2pacs finger on Martin's shirt" |
Me and ma good friend Elder Nelson out of Köln. We went contacting in Düsseldorf together and ran into these kids. They were so fun. Martin (name changed for blog) the one with 2pac on his shirt really had an interest in the gospel. We found them because we were walking through down town Düsseldorf and I heard Hypnotize by Notorius BIG. We look over and these kids are just blasting some tunes so we decided to go and talk to them. Walked up and was just like, "Hey wie gehts, Biggy Smalls ja?" and that sparked our freindship!
