Another great week in Duisburg! The beginning of a new
transfer and the wonderful smells of falling leaves.
A lot of people have been asking about how General
Conference works here and how I watched it. So here it is for everyone at once:
Saturday evening we traveled to a different church (in
Düsseldorf) where they broadcast it. And Saturday evening at 6 o clock we
watched the saturday morning session live. Then we went home and slept. The
next day (sunday morning) we once again traveled to Düsseldorf and arrived to
watch the women's and priesthood sessions at 11 in the morning. Then a member
gave all of the missionaries food. Then we watched the saturday evening session
at 2 o'clock. After wards we went on a walk because i was really tired. Then a
member fed all of the missionaries a dinner of chili and pudding. Then we once
again at 6 o'clock watched the sunday morning session live. And update: We
still haven't seen the sunday afternoon session. We will see it in church
either this sunday or next sunday.
General Conference was way awesome this year!! I loved
all of the talks about service and finding happiness by following Jesus Christ
and helping others.
I dont have too much time this week, but highlights:
Teaching Elizabeth about repentance to help her quit
smoking. We watched the video of the stoning of the adulterous woman and sang
the song I stand all amazed. The spirit was so strong and so beautiful.
Repentance through Jesus Christ is real.
We had a ward party and the Relief society had us participate
in a dance. Yeah. I am not so good at dancing hahahahahhaha.
My coat was laying on my lap on a bus ride and I didn't
realize the sleeve was hanging down. Suddenly the bus smelled very strongly of
alcohol. Yeah... someone spilled alcohol all over the bus and my sleeve of
course fell in it.
We taught a muslim man who was very into bashing. I tried
really hard to just bear testimony of what I believed and invite him to read in
the Book of Mormon. (He actually did call us later and say he liked what he read....
he also said he wanted to bring us his book next time
though....)
We had a finding day this week and we decided to go
somewhere new, but it was a holiday, and no one was out, and it was a bust so
we had to just head back to our normal finding spots. But we did see a new part
of Duisburg. Also got the phone number of a really cool lady from Romania who
wanted a Book of Mormon.
Oh and last pday we just went to the soccer stadium and
walked around Duisburg.
Hope you all have an amazing week!!!

P.s. Did anybody else notice how I didn't complain or talk
about the weather this week??!!!??!
