so this week was pretty awesome!! prolly the fastest yet! where to begin....our investigators have been interesting. wiebka and mielu didnt keep their commitments but we taught them the gospel of Jesus Christ and the spirit was there. we promised them that they can know truth if they keep their committments to read in the book of mormon. richard threw us for a loop this week. we tried to go and finish the gospel of Jesus Christ when he suddenly started asking questions about baptism. he wanted to know what was required. being a JW he was surprised all you have to do is take the lessons, believe in the message, and have an interview. he wantes to read the entire BOM before baptism so we moved his date back. i explained to him you dont have to read the whole thing to know its true by an anology. i said i know Jesus in my savior but i have no idea what he did until his ministry. he said that makes sense but he still would like to read the whole book first. we decided to be patient missionaries and let him do this. afterall its hardly a bad thing to read the whole book. im worried he is thinking to much with his head and not enough on his heart. hes very logical like me but you cant describe the feelings of the holy ghost with logic. idk. hes making progress still though i think. we had a great lesson after that one too and we are really on the same page. his belief that the plan of salvation is real is what he likes the most so far. wolfy is doing AWESOME!!! we have taught almost all the commandments now (only tithing and wofw left) and he has excepted all of them. he feels great about his baptisimal date and we will prolly finish teaching him before we leave! he is sooo chill and accepting and he totally gets the law of chastity which is awesome. i hope he has the faith to live the wofw and tithing!wow that took like 10 mins to write. sooo im going to Germany in a week!!! crazy!!! my german is definitely not ready but my teacher said we arent here to learn german. that comes in the field. he said the MTC is to learn how to teach with the spirit. hopefully ive done that. i hope my knowledge of the lessons is enough and my german is at least understandable in a lesson. the lord will help me do this. the devotional yesterday hit me hard. he talked about Nephi (the son of helman) and how in order to be an awesome missionary we should strive to be like him. i want to do soo much better. Nephi was promised he could have anything he asked God because God knew he wouldnt ask anything contrary to his will. its hard to give up your will and let your will be his. i need to work on that. he also talked about setting goals and i realized thats something i never did before the MTC and that i need to do more of. goals help us become who we want to become. so i made some goals to help me do that. study goals, and personal developement goals. chapter 6 of PMG is how we become like Christ. im actually stoked to keep these goals!anyways i love you all! dont worry about me ill be fine in GERMANY!!! the church is true!
ps ill write hand written letters on saturday. write me friends!!!
