Week 9

WOW what a week!!!! First is was so good to talk to my family and Chris on mothers day! I get so busy here that I sometimes forget how long it has been since we last saw each other, I guess that is a good thing, however it was AMAZING to get to see you all! It sounds like they are all doing well. I just want to thank everyone who is reading this, I know your prayers are being heard and that the blessings are not only coming to my but also those I care a lot about.

 

The work really is picking up in the area, sometimes I feel like we have so many places to be, so many people to teach, and for me so much German words to learn that there is hardly anytime to sleep or eat! The Lord truly is pouring out His spirit upon this area, as well as blessing Sis Szvoboda and I with the strength to do all that we need to in the day, needless to say going to sleep at the end of the day is not a problem :)

 

So the miracle story for this week, is the story of Max. Max is a young man who loves the Lord with all his heart, and has been looking for the truth for a while now. He comes out of Africa under some pretty strenuous circumstance and is now working here in German. We came in contact with Max a week ago when the train we were planning on taking to Berlin got cancelled. He is a cousin of another one of our investigator. When we meet he preceded to tell us how he had been reading in the Bible for the last little while, going to different churches, praying that God would show him which church to join (does this sound familiar to anyone?!?!). He told us that when his cousin told him about our church he felt that this is the truth that he had been looking for! As you can imagine Sis Szvoboda and I's chins hit the floor!!! We have meet with Max a few times this week and he came to church yesterday, he is in the process of reading the Book of Mormon, and he has set a baptismal date that we are working towards. THE LORD IS GREAT!   

 

The Lords hand is truly in this work! I feel it every time that we talk to people on the streets. Every time I testify that Jesus is the Christ. Every time I see the light in peoples eyes getting brighter and brighter as the draw closer to Him. I feel SO blessed to be here, and to be witnessing the miracles the Lord is preforming here in Germany. I feel humbled by the calling I have been given to teach people the truths of this gospel. The truths that have changed my life, and that continue to improve my life everyday! I know Jesus is the Christ, the Son of our Loving Heavenly Father. I know that Joseph Smith is a prophet and that through him God restored His Church, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day saints. I testify that you don't need to understand all aspects of the gospel, to understand that God is at the head of this Church. I testify that with the light of faith we can move forward in this gospel even when we can't see more then the next step in front of us. I can promise after awhile of moving forward in faith we will realize that the the questions we once had have been answered, or that the are not such a big deal anymore:"All things will be overcome by the atonement of Christ." 

 

Well once again I hope all is going well at home. Go out and enjoy the nice spring weather for me...oh and take some pictures :)

 

Sincerely,
