Hello Family and Friends!! First of all. I would like to
apologize about last week!! Our pday was crazy and we didn't get wifi for our
emails to send off our iPads until 9:30. But we had them all done and written
way before that. Don't worry mom. I wasn't dead.
Oh yeah. So pday. Pday was a TON of fun! Sister Nowak
took all the Köln missionaries and the Aachen elders to go to a monkey park. It
was really fun!!! Monkeys literally climb on you! Although I will say. Some of the monkeys were a little grumpy. Then after pday
we had a lesson with Martin and a recent convert at a members home. It was
amazing! The spirit and testimonies shared and felt were amazing!
Today I learned a new way to make you feel really bad
about your German abilities! Go to a hair cutting salon for the first time and
try to get your hair cut..... it was an adventure..
On Friday we had the opportunity to help a ward member
clean the church. Finally my college job of custodian payed off. We cleaned
those bathrooms quickly and beautifully.
It felt good to simply do service. I liked it.
We are teaching a young couple from the Middle East right
now with a 1 1/2 year old boy. They LOVE this church and they left to
investigate other churches but come back because they KNOW this is the true
church. I respect them so much. But right now they are struggling with so much
about refugee and work and just life. It is so sad and I hate it so much!! But
we were able to bring the Elders over and give the whole family a blessing. It
was AMAZING!! Positively amazing!!! I love the power of God and the opportunity
we all have to access the priesthood. God really does love us.
So an amazing thing happened this week! Martin finally
entered the waters of baptism!!! It was really cool and I love how happy he was
after!! But the favorite part for me was the next day at church when he
received the Holy Ghost. The spirit felt was amazing. And he had the BIGGEST
smile on his face!! It was positively beautiful. I am so happy for him :)
Also. We have our new investigator Mikayel and we set him
on baptismal date!!! He came to Martins baptism and also church. After church
the ward did a ward lunch thingy and at the end a whole bunch of us were in
cleaning the million dishes and all the food. All the elders just stood around
talking and stuff. But instead of going home Mikayel came in and helped dry and
put away dishes. That is what I call a prepared person. :)
So basically soooo much stuff has happened and I could
literally write a novel right now but I won't. But I kind of want to hahahaha.
But I hope you all have a wonderful week!!
Sister Losee
