Awkwardness: We were contacting some people and I had just introduced ourselves as missionaries to a man in front of the main train station: when I suddenly don’t remember what I was going to say. So this is how it goes: “...and we just wanted to ask what you do..... (awkwardly cant remember what I was going to say......tries to blurt out something....) in your free time?” Man then looks at me really awkwardly and says: “I have to go”
We went on two power splits. It was a party and a half. We got invited to two family home evenings for the first time ever, and we were able to say hi to both of them!! Sister Griffen and I went to a young couples house and played a really fun board game I use to play in college, so that was fun.
We had a CRAZY experience as well! Yesterday we had a lunch appointment with an old couple and they just kept talking and talking and going on long tangents and whatnot so we ended up being there too long, so then we had no time to do any finding before meeting with this cool man named Serge in a cafeteria only five minutes away. We had a cool lesson and then started walking two minutes away to do some Contacting in the hour we had before our next appointment. We saw TONS of police officers, but didn't think twice because it’s Duisburg. But we were just done talking to a very awkward couple when a man jumped under a car, some people started yelling, and other people started yelling. So we hurried and walked quickly in the other direction, and we walk out of this street, that turns out was blockaded! Then we get a call from the Elders wondering where we were. Apparently there was a shooter or something and the police couldn’t find him and then we had our next appointment in this same neighborhood and just kept hearing tons of police sirens. We definitely think that maybe that eating appointment went too long for a reason, or just God definitely was helping us all day, But yeah. Crazy stuff.
Our appointments that day were crazy awesome though! We met with a man I talked to on the train who was kind of grumpy because he said that he had previously met with Sisters on the street several years ago and had made an appointment with them but they never showed up. He also said: “Wow. You have proven me wrong already!” He totally thought we didn't believe in Jesus Christ. How? I don’t know. Because our badges clearly say Jesus Christ on them. But whatever. But we had a really cool lesson just reading scriptures from the Bible and Book of Mormon about who God and Jesus Christ are.
Then we met with Ammar and his mom fed us incredible amounts of Arabic food and then we watched the Restoration video together and just bore hardcore testimony of Joseph Smith. He said he felt warm in his heart and that it could be truth. We are way excited for him.
We also met with a African woman this week and it was soooo cool because apparently she grew up worshiping idols because that is what her Father belied, but when she moved to Spain she learned about Jesus Christ and learned what it was like to be happy! Apparently I was in one of her dreams and told her Jesus was with her. And she also very excited told us and acted out the time that she saw Jesus Christ. Man.Gotta love Africans.
LOVE YOU ALL!
