Hey everyone! Can you believe that it is Monday already? Where does
the time go? I remember Jesse talking about the MTC saying that the
days go really slow sometimes, but the weeks go flying by. It's the
same out here still. Except, quite a bit of the time, the days go
really fast as well. Strange...
On Monday, we just kind of bummed around with the
Elders in Singen, played Mini-golf and had fun. We will be seeing them a
lot in the next two weeks as we will be out of our area for 7 days in
the next two weeks. Yikes! Which just means we need to work twice as
hard for the times that we are here. But it will be good. They are
having an Open House for their new church building on the 1st, 2nd, and
3rd of October so we will be in Singen that whole time. Then for
Conference, the 6th and 7th since Conference isn't broadcasted here we
will have to go to Villingen-Schwenningen, and since it will be so late
on the 7th then we will probably not come home until the 8th. And then
transfers are on the 11th. And we will see what happens there.
On Tuesday, we had District Meeting, and then we went contacting
the rest of the day since we don't really have any investigators. We
met this really nice older Russian lady and were able to give her a Book
of Mormon. We made out an appointment to come back so we could give
her one in Russian since that would be easier for her. (There are a lot
of German-Russian people here. I think during the war, or after the
war. I'm not too sure, but at some point, a lot of Germans were taken
to Russia, and for the past ten years or so a lot of them have been
coming back since Germany is a little nicer than Russia to live. So
they are Russian people who are sort of German) She was really nice and
said that she believed on something, but it was hard for her because
she grew up hearing that there was no God, and after being told that so
many times it's really tough, but she wants to believe, and that 'desire
to believe' is all that we need here.
We went back to her on Wednesday and introduced a little more, and
then gave her the Russian one, as well as a Family: Proclamation, and
Testimony of the Prophet Joseph Smith.
On Thursday, we had another cool experience. We were in
Rheinfelden contacting and I didn't know where we should go. So I was
talking to people as they came by, and then there was this nice lady who
stopped. I told her about the Book
of Mormon and then she said that her mom would be really interested in
something like that as well. We asked if we could come by and give her
and her mom copies of it, and she was like ''Why don't you just come
right now?''. So we came and taught them both about it as well. They
are both Italian, and really nice and friendly.
Nothing too special happened on Friday.
On Saturday, we had a Branch Brunch. Which was really good.
On Sunday we had a good day at church, and then because there was
so much food left over from the brunch we ate again after church.
Woohoo!! I hate cooking. Haha! And I love eating. Which is a bad
habit to have while single. But when married.... Haha!
Thanks for
your prayers and support. I love you guys a lot!--
Sincerely,
Elder Thompson
