Hello
and Happy New Year to All!! It's been another normal week in Frankfurt!! Which
actually means nothing normal happened! We had a lot of cool experiences this
week and I have definitely felt Heavenly Father's help. A goal that we set as a
companionship was to work harder and make sure that we are really trying to
have and follow the spirit in everything we are doing. On Saturday night we were just going to go home and work on transferring
the Area Book, but I decided to pray and felt like we shouldn't get off the bus
and keep going. We then felt like we should go to a certain bahn stop. We got
on the bahn and ended up both contacting really cool people! Sister Weeks got a
potential and I was able to talk to and become friends with this wonderful
woman from Turkey. It turns out we had completely passed the bahn station
because of our conversations, but I feel like we were just supposed to go in
that direction to help us meet those people.
We had another street display this
week, it was hard, because it was FREEZING cold. Sometimes it's really hard to
get motivated when it is freezing. Sister Weeks and I had set a potential goal
though and we wanted to make it, and we wanted to show the Lord how hard we
wanted to work. So we did it, we got out there and started trying really hard
to be good and contacting and talking to everyone. No one was having it. It was
a rough start so many people just didn't want to stop or talk to us. But we
kept working and we DID IT! We reached our goal, and we took a hot chocolate
break hahahaha. But it was good, oh and be proud!! The Zone Leaders left for a
hot chocolate break and they came over and told me I was in charge and to be an
example to the other missionaries. I say: SUCCESS!
This week I learned more about the
Muslim religion then I thought I ever would. We got a new investigator and she
is Muslim, we had our first lesson with her in a burger restaurant and talked
about what we believe and about the Book of Mormon, and she told us what she
believed. It was interesting. We will see if anything happens with her, but we
can hope and pray. She said she would read the Book of Mormon. Then we got an
investigator that the Elders passed on to us, and we show up and her husband is
there too, and he is avid Muslim. He spent the whole time telling us all about
how what we believe is wrong and then they force fed us dinner and made us an
hour late to our actual dinner appointment.... I felt really fat that
night..... missionary powers.... pounding down two dinners in a row,
Oh, I also misunderstood someone
this week, and apparently they asked me if I wanted whiskey, I thought they
said, oh so you don't drink whiskey. So I said: Yes and they all about died and
thought it was hilarious, Sister Weeks was just very confused.
Anywhoo. I'm doing good. Just keep
putting along giving out those Books and battling the cold that January has
brought in. Thank you for all of your prayers and I hope you all are having a
great new year jumping back into life after the holidays.
Love, Sister Losee
