| Munster's castle...now a university |
That is right…we are the Welt
Meister. WE WON. Germany won, and everyone is freaking
out. Last night, when the game was over,
the entire country of Germany just started cheering. Seriously.
It was crazy! Flags are all over
the place and people are just going crazy.
We got so many texts from our members and everyone late last night
informing us that we won...as if we didn’t know from the sounds all around us,
ha-ha.
That’s awesome that you are all in
Pennsylvania right now, well except for Troy.
He is having fun studying for the MCAT though...ha-ha. Tell the family all that I said hi and give
them a big hug for me. It will be fun to
see them all next year.
This week was sweet…lots and lots and
lots and lots of contacting, and it was great.
I have never talked to so many people in one week before. I love being comps with Sister Busath. I always had a little bit of fear before, but
now, it is fun. We went dooring a LOT
this week, and met some pretty weird people…like really weird. We also met some cool people. We set up an appointment with an atheist for
this week, so that should be interesting.
There was one man though, trying to tell us that we were crazy for believing
in a second Jesus when we introduced the Book of Mormon to him. I wanted to fight back and just be like,
“Man, can’t you read? It says ‘ANOTHER
testimony of Jesus Christ,’ not another Christ, but I couldn’t do that. At the end, we kindly asked him if he knew
anyone that would be interested, and he went off on a long spiel about how he
worked with people that needed mental help, and he suggested to us that before
we share religion with others, we should asked ourselves if they needed mental
help or religion. I wanted to ask him if
he had asked himself that question, but that wouldn’t be nice, would it? We also got a Muslim family to let us in and
give us water. That was cool. I thoroughly enjoy dooring now. It’s like a big surprise of what is on the
other side of the door. You meet the
most interesting people that way, especially in the student apartments.
We also met with Kai this week. He was the guy that we found on Sunday,
pulled over on the side of the road.
This guy is legit! We taught him
the Restoration, and he had the most perfect questions, and a lot of interest. We asked him at the end to pray to know if it
was true, and he said that while he was talking with us, there was nothing that
seemed false to him. It all sounded
right. But he said he would
anyways. That was a great lesson. The second the opening prayer was finished,
the spirit was immediately there, and it stayed the entire lesson. At the end, he told us that the question he
wants answered the most is why we are here on the earth, and where we are going
after. He said he really wants to learn
what we think. Ok Kai! Wir können das machen. That is actually our next lesson! He got super excited about that, so we are
meeting again this week, and teaching the plan of salvation.

| More Harry Potter analogies... |
The cool part is that Kai came to church
on Sunday! He came, and he loved it, at
least I think he loved it. We really
didn’t get to talk to him that much, because the members did such an amazing
job. As soon as the closing prayer was
said, people were swarming kai, and he thoroughly enjoyed it. He loves talking, and everyone was soaking
him up. He was there an hour after
church was over, just talking with the members.
He got invited to the Elder’s Quorum bowling activity, and the Pioneer
Day activity this Saturday. He was super
excited about it. I have a really good
feeling about this guy.
This week, we focused a TON on asking
for referrals. Every person we talked
to, whether they were interested or not, we asked for one. So on Thursday, we went to go contact one of
the referrals. They lived forever away,
about an hour by bus, and once we got there, they didn’t have any
interest. Sad day. So we doored down the street, and let me tell
you, that was the nicest street ever.
One guy was so interested in the Book of Mormon, that he took one for
him and his daughter. So that was pretty
cool.

| Preparing for our Harry Potter skit |
Friday, we had the coolest Zone
trainings ever. Our district leader,
Elder Barney, gave a lesson, and it was great.
He got permission to watch Harry Potter, so we watched the scene in the
third movie, where they learn how to fight a boggart. He then used us to do a skit. As an analogy, some of our districts were
wizards and witches from the "Dortmund School of Priesthood and Ministry,”
and the rest were our worst fears of finding.
I was Sister Weasley. We had to
attempt to contact these fears as they came through the door, and at first we
were all suppose to run away screaming.
He then gave this really good lesson on how we need to develop charity
and to see people as they can become. We
then had to try contacting them again, and this time, our worst fears came out
dressed in baptismal clothing, and we all succeeded in contacting. It was a really cool theme, and I learned a
lot. I guess when you compare anything
to Harry Potter, you’ve got my attention.
Ha-ha.

| Pulling down our first sticky noteto our goal count down... |
That day, I also got to go on a split to
Herne with SISTER MCMURRAY. How cool is
that? I got to go on a split with my MTC
companion. That was a blast. We went to teach a lesson, and it was just
cool to see how far we have both come. I
love that girl so much. We had a great
time together, and it was just good to talk and be with each other, almost an
entire year later. I can’t believe it
has almost been an entire year. 10 days. Where does the time go?
I am loving Münster. I know I am suppose to be here, and I feel
like I am finally becoming the missionary I have been wanted to be my entire
mission. This is a good place, and cool
things are happening.
Well, I love you all. Have fun in Pennsylvania / Provo this
week. Tell everyone hi.
