Happy Halloween in 3 days! Today for Pday our district is having a Halloween Party at the Gurney's. We are carving pumpkins and doing all the typical american things for Halloween so I am excited. I will make sure to send pictures next week.
We were able to meet with Achmed 4 times this week. Each time went so well and he is so excited to be baptized. We taught him the Plan of Salvation and he loved it. He is just soaking everything up like a sponge. He is hilarious as well. He calls me the president and sister Freimann the secretary because she always writes down his reading assignments for him. hahah The awesome thing is that Sister Freimann has a turkish man in her home ward who was muslim and converted. We gave Achmed his number and he called him and that really helped Achmed as well. He was excited to know he is not alone and that if he goes back to Turkey, there will be other members. I am a little bit nervous though because tonight we are teaching him the Word of Wisdom. He smokes like a chimney and I learned he loves his coffee. Yesterday at church he found out more about the Word of Wisdom and he kind of freaked out a little bit. But, good sign, during sacremant he was looking around for a "Old, wise man" that could baptize him. haha So hopefully it goes well tonight. If it goes well I think he could change his baptism to in a few weeks. So we'll se what happens.
This week looks really great. We have so many lessons with promising potentials and I think we will be able to have new investigators this week. We ran into Simplice yesterday!! He was working. He is just the best. He said that he wants so badly to be at church, but his work schedule is just so crazy. We are hoping we will be able to meet with him this week, so we will see what happens.
We met a cool guy named Bernie last week. When I first stop and contacted him he was so mean and scary. I was telling him about the book of Mormon and he kept making sarcastic remarks so I just bore my testimony. Then he looked a me and said in a snooty tone, "You want me to buy this book don't you?" I told him no, and that we give this book to people that have a desire to read it and learn about it. His countenance then completely changed. He looked at me and said "You mean, you would really give me this book?? For Free?!?!" I told him yes. O my goodness. He then got so happy and was just like "I have so many questions about God and the purpose of life and yes I want this book!" It was hilarious. We exchanged information and he was just so excited to read it and meet with us. That was a lesson learner to me that you should not give up so quickly with the people you talk to on the street. hahah We are meeting with him on Wednesday and I am excited to see what happens.
O my goodness. Mom! My boots are such a wreck but I love them!! It was so funny because yesterday the Relief Society president came up to me and said "Do you need help buying new boots? I talked to President Frank and when you need help, the branch can help you out." haha It was so cute and nice and also hilarious because I had no idea how she knew my boots were falling apart. Maybe she saw them?? I'll send a picture. haha
Well I love you guys. Thanks for all the prayers. This church is true!!
Here is something in German. Excuse mistakes.
Ich liebe eine Missionarin zu sein. Es ist ein wunderbare Erfahrung Gottes Kinder zu dienen. Diese Kirche ist wahr!! Wir konnen immer zu Gott beten und Er wird uns immer antworten. Wir sind nie Allein. Wir haben ein Vater wer ist immer da. Wir haben so viel Glück!!!!!! Ich habe alle euch so viel Lieb!
Here is the one picture I took this week. haha That is a german house for ya!
