"My life is pretty beautiful
right now!"
Servus,
Hey everybody. This week was a great
one. Sooo busy with splits and what not. But seriously, this week was
beautiful.
So, we were supposed to go to
Friedrichsdorf for our Zone Training meeting this last week. But DB (DeutscheBahn,
the public transport here) decided to go on strike for the week. So that meant no
one could make it to the meeting. So we just moved it to this week.
I went on a split with Elder Ball this
last week. Super great guy. We get along really well. And I was also on a split
with Elder Christensen out of Friedrichsdorf, also a champ.
So a few highlights of this week. . .
We got 8 new Investigators!!!
First off in the week, we were meeting
with Alin. His Aunt and Uncle were there and so we started to teach them. They
really enjoyed our message and really opened up. The lady, Eve, was having a
really hard time and she had heard that we have given blessings to other people
in the family. So she asked for one and it went so well. They agreed to meet
with us some more and really want to find God in their lives. Timmy and Eve.
Pray for them.
Then a few days later we were just
doing a few go-byes on less actives. There was a lady raking her leaves so we
offered our help. She didn’t need any help but she talked to us for a good 10
min. And then invited us inside to talk with her and her husband. They are
Jehovah Witnesses and it made for a pretty intense conversation. But they fed
us cake and other goodies and then we exchanged numbers and we will be meeting
again hopefully this week! Family Strein. Pray for them. Not yet official
Investigators because we didn’t get a solid return appointment. But I think
things will go well there.
Next miracle. Family Fingerhut. Went
to London for vacation, saw the Book of Mormon musical, got our info and then
gave us a ring. They said that the musical was funny and a little crude, but
that they felt like there was something more to the story! So we went over and
taught them about the Book of Mormon and the Gospel. They loved it and said
(with out being asked too) that they would read the entire Book of Mormon
before we meet again!
And then there was the family Hakim.
They felt that there were evil spirits in their home and son. They wanted us to
come and see if there was anything that we could do about it. We went over and
Blessed and Dedicated their home and then gave their son a blessing. Really
awesome opportunity. It felt really good in there when we left. The rest of the
family asked for blessings as well and then we got to teach them from the
Book of Mormon, they are really excited to learn more. Seriously love
this little family. The kids love us and the mom and dad Herr und Frau Hakim,
are so great. I am really excited to meet with them again this week.

| Elder Nik sent a quick P.S. e-mail after this one that said, "P.S. I'm literally just about to walk out the door to the Titze house! On a split here in Wetzlar!" A while later I got this photo from Lisa Titze on Facebook. Her caption said, "Nik says he loves you!" We met this great family when they came over for General Conference just before Nik left for Germany. We had them over for dinner. I'm so glad we made that connection. They've been looking forward to seeing Nik and having him over for a long time now. He was finally in their area today! I'm so grateful for friends looking out for our missionary! |
Wanna know the great thing about this
week. The families. I’ve been studying a ton about families and the importance
of them and what they mean. I’m so glad that families are eternal. And what is
really cool, I
is that all of these people that we
found this week are tied so close to their families. I’m so glad that I will
now get to testify to all of them about the importance of the family.
So yeah, really really great and crazy
crazy busy week. Also have a crazy busy week this week. Pray that I will
accomplish everything that God wants me to.
Thank you all for your e-mails. I love
them and I love you. Crazy stuff. Errr-body getting married and what not.
Shoooot, I’m getting old. Nahhh, Forever Young!
THE FAMILY IS FOREVER.
I love you guys.
-Elder Anderson
