"Aghhh, they took away my
microwave"
And the transfers are in! I am staying
another transfer with Elder Norman in Erfurt. I am super excited for this up
and coming transfer. Elder Norman and I get along great and the work is really
good with him. As for the rest of the district, everything is staying the same
in Erfurt, Weimar and then in Jena Elder Hathaway is leaving
and another Elder is coming in and then a sister in Jena is leaving
and another will be replacing her. We are having District meeting tomorrow
and I’ll make sure to take a pic of the District before anyone is transferred!
So there is this guy that we have been
meeting with pretty consistently. He is a less active and he has been
progressing slowly but surely as time goes on. We have been worried though the
last couple of weeks because he hasn’t been showing up to appointments or
answering his phone…Until later this week, we were like aghhh, lets try him one
more time to see if he answers us. We call him up, and he finally answered!
Yay, we were like, “hey, Andreas, is everything ok?”, to which he replied “ohhhh
yeahhh. . . . . sorry , they took away my microwave and that just made me
really sad and so I haven’t been able to meet for a while.” Hahahaha, easily
the weirdest excuse that I have heard in my life. But now it has become an
inside joke whenever anything doesn’t go right, we just say, “aghh, sorry man,
like, they stole my microwave.”
In other news though, we are meeting
with him again and he is happy and has found a new microwave.
The work has been a little bit slower
in the last little bit, but that is ok. We are still finding and working to try
and help people progress to baptism. It’s going a little bit slower right now,
so prayers would be much appreciated!!
This last week we went to Mykolas apartment
(one of our investigators) and he helped him take all of the wall paper and
paint of off all of his walls. It was pretty fun and it was kinda cool to see
how that sorta opened him up a little bit. It also opened up his mom a little
bit too. She doesn’t live with him, but she lives close by. She came by to see
what we were up to and she was really impressed with the fact that we were
helping out her son like that and so now maybe she has some interest.
I love my mission and the many experiences
that I am having, I am learning so much about myself and the world and most
importantly the gospel of Jesus Christ. I love you guys so much! Thank you so
much for the emails that you send me every week and all of the love and support
you give me! I love you guys!
Love,
Elder Anderson
