Sounds like you had quite a full week! I hope you were able to enjoy it
as well. I can hardly believe how old my niece and nephew are becoming, they
will be completely different people when I get home I think.
We are both staying in Lauenburg and the work is going good, almost all
of our appointments this past week fell out though, so that was sad.
We ate at two houses this week and both of them made us chili for the
food. Another member we met with gave us American chocolate cake which actually
tasted American and was super good. Other than that, we did not have any eating
appointments.
For P-day today, I will be visiting Hamburg and doing a little bit of
sight-seeing there. Other than that, I do not have any plans. The farm house I took a picture of was in a
really small village with like 500 residence and I do not remember the name.
The church in the pictures was in a place called Lüneburg in our area, which is
also where we bought the Reese’s Pieces.
There is a store there that has a lot of American things that they sell
there but it is still a German store.
We are able to go to the Frieberg Temple when we have a new convert, a
reactivated person come with us, and we are able to tour the temple with an
investigator as well.
Elder Gerlach’s (his missionary trainer/1st companion in
Germany) plans for when he gets back are to go on a date to General Conference
and then after that he will be going to BYU Provo and studying there.
That is too bad that Brother H_____ passed away, he was like a grandpa
to me, or at least I felt like that. However I know he has a great work to do
on the other side now and that he is no longer in pain.
Scripture of the week: Helaman 3:26 “And it came to pass that the work
of the Lord did prosper unto the baptizing and uniting to the church of God,
many souls, yea, even tens of thousands.”
Quote of the week: Spencer W. Kimball “A year ago now I was in Japan
and Korea, and … I seemed to envision a great movement when there would be
thousands of local men prepared and anxious and strong to go abroad. … I seemed
to envision again Mexican youth and Latins from Central and South America in
great numbers qualifying themselves for missionary service within their own
country and then finally in other lands until the army of the Lord’s
missionaries would cover the earth as the waters cover the mighty deep.” (April
1974)
Love you and hope that you have a great week and everything.
Love,
Elder Fisher
