We Forgive You for Your Mistakes Since 1988

Well, I'm staying in Dortmund! And so is Sis. Lehman!

No one saw that coming. Really. Which is why I remembered to take some pictures this week.

 

I'm way tired and my whole body hurts, so nothing has changed there!

 

We met a way cool member this week. She doesn't come to church because of her depression, so we read in the scriptures together. She's great. We're going to help her come to some activities.

 

This week someone we've been working with texted us and asked us if we could bless her daughter's room? We didn't know what that meant, so we called and she explained that she tried some magic things in her house, and since then her daughter has woken up screaming at night. We had the elders come with us and we dedicated her house through prayer. It was a really powerful experience--no force on Earth is as powerful as God.

 

We're helping a woman to quit smoking and have been for a while, and she finally started this week. Tuesday morning she forgot she had planned to start and went to smoke her first cigarette, and she heard a voice say something like, "What are you doing? Stop that right now!" She instantly flushed all her tobacco and threw out all her matches and paper. She's gone a whole week now!

 

Here it is, guys: It doesn't matter how little life experience I have, or what bits of church history I haven't heard before, or whether I've ever gone through X thing personally. The message of the gospel will help you. It will bring peace into your heart and teach you to turn to your God in your times of trials. And no earthly experience is worth more than that.

 

I love you all! Keep on keepin' on!

would just like to clarify

Last P-Day we went and saw a castle! It was sweet.

 

We went by [the house of] an investigator we'd finally gotten in contact with since meeting her in March. She was there with a friend, who knew Elder Guymon! Turns out we met Stef in March, the Elders met Stef and Joice together in April, and we finally got back in contact with them in June. And then Joice didn't want to go to the baptism because she's embarrassed to face Elder Guymon :P But she came anyway! It was great!

 

Oh! Sr. Pelc got baptized! Her husband wants to too, but he's still unsure about some things so he told her to go first. It was so wonderful. She was so happy!

 

We spent pretty much all day Friday at a member's house picking strawberries, making jam, and baking cake. But then her neighbor came over and started crying to us about how her dog died, and we were like uhhh.... We taught her that Christ takes away any kind of sorrow if you let him, and she didn't really understand so we prayed together. And her heart was instantly lighter and she kept talking about how warm her skin was! God answers prayers instantly, my friends.

 

I'm sure many of you are aware that I love Peter Pan very very much. One of my favorite things about Peter Pan is that I really really want to be able to fly! So I was playing Flying from the 2002 movie soundtrack while we were eating, and that night Sis. Lehman had a dream she was flying with that song in the background. Hah! I have a convert! So now we blast that with the windows open and jump around the apartment pretending to fly.

It's very stress relieving.

Also magical.

Also it drowns out the prayers someone across the marketplace keeps blasting out their windows. . . . The Lion King also works well for that.

 

I love you! Make good choices!

Put simply, President Monson does what most people only think about doing.

 

Be honest with me. Is this llama too much?

 

Missionary work without a phone is hard.

 

Make cake, buy ingredients. scratch that, reverse it.
