Everything is still doing well in Germany. we were able to have 5 investigators
at church this past Sunday! which is not something that happens too often. An entire
family came to church!!! That was the highlight of my week by far, we also
taught them the Word of Wisdom and they want to follow it, which never happens
in Germany!! I was so happy about that.
I was able to interview someone for baptism this past Saturday which was
a really cool experience. I enjoyed it, however I felt really responsible for
saying if someone is worthy to be baptized or not.
This week we were in the state of Hamburg 3 days and this week I have
the possibility of being there for 3 more days, I am getting traveled up over
here.
We also have a pretty full week this coming week so I am excited. Also
the ward members are finally warming up to us the missionaries in the ward so
that is helping a lot.
The temple dedication was a very interesting experience. We watched the
cultural event by satellite. We watched the temple dedication at the stake
center in Hamburg. I was able to
understand all of the German, I have been speaking it every day for almost 2
years now so it is pretty easy to understand it. All of the missionaries at the
beginning and the end of their missions get to at least visit the temple and I
know that when President Fingerle (Elder Fisher’s first mission president)
first came in he wanted every missionary to be able to do a session in the
temple before they went home.
Scripture of the week: Doctrine and Covenants 29:7 “And ye are called
to bring to pass the gathering of mine elect; for mine elect hear my voice and
harden not their hearts;”
Quote of the week: "tithing is not even like a commandment for me,
because I want to give it so much." from my baptismal interview with the
person who wanted to be baptized.
I hope that you have a wonderful week and that you enjoy the cooler
weather you are having right now!
Love you and hope as well.
Love,
Elder Spencer Fisher
