Elder Smith and His Little Miracle

HEllo greetings from ludwigshafen

I love missionary work so much I am learning so much, thanks to my trainer. This week was power week and it was a really good we will see this week if our contacts turn into new investigators, but we had a lot of contacts last week and some just seem really golden i hope that they will meet with us.

Now i will tell an amazing story that happened to Elder Mcdermott and I. We were on district finding zeit sorry time in Ludwigshafen, and we wanted to austausch sorry I mean switch and see how they contact so for the first hour i was with Elder Franke the native german. So at that time i took the oppurtunity to ask all the german question that i had at that time and speak the most german so that he could help me improve on my language capability, but when we went contacting there was noone on the street it was like they knew we were coming and they decided to all go inside it was really weird. After that hour i went with my district leader Elder Mcdermott who is so awesome and we got to go on part of the fuß to contact. We were on there headed north i think and every person that we talked tpo they either said kein zeit or kein intresse which we always get. So we kept on going and then we hit a dead end we either could go back the way we went or go left. Elder Mcdermott asked me what i though and i had a strong impression that we should go left so we did and we were walking and about 30ft later a person came and so Elder Mcdermott decided to contact her and she just ignored us but then we had got turned around and we were heading the direction we cam from and there was this lady. I decided to contact her but she did not understand german than i asked if she understood english and she said yes. So i told her that i was a missionary and we would like to share a message about jesus christ and then we got talk and she said that she had been look for a church to join, and she said that the church her and her husband just didn't seem right and so her and her husband had been praying for which church to join and the spirt was so stong i got some water up and so she said we are the answer to her prayers we asked for her contact and she said she did not remmeber her numberso i gave her ours and now we are hoping that she will call i pray everyday that she will call us.

That was my amazing story for this week

Hello greeting from ludwigshafen!

Hello greeting from ludwigshafen!

Everything is going grand except for investigators part we have on right now and hopefully two more next week if all goes well. Right now i am just loving the gospela nd just loving the oppurtunity that I have to serve in germany they are such a great people. I am learning so many things in just the beginning of book of mormon, I love the spirit and how it enlightens our minds so well and just the sure knowledge that come from the spirit. I am growing in so many different ways .

Elder Crump and I are doing well. We really get along well with eachother its awesome how we grow together, and just getting more and more unified as a companionship this week. Sorry my elglish is so bad, but the german is taking over and I think in german, i love it ! I love how the spirit can help you say things in the very moment that you need it. If it is either just contacting someone one the street or going door to door the spirit is there and helps me so much and I am so thankful for it.

Mom I just wanted to tell you that I am so sorry and that i am wroking budgeting and really wont pull money out unless it is an (emergency-choclate) just kidding I won´t even if the chocolate is so much better here. You think you have had good chocolate well I am sorry mom i am going to have to tell you that you are wrong. Another thing that I would like to clear up and that is my mission president allows us to use our gmail or our hotmail, or our yahoo those are his exact words so no need to fret mom. I am obeying the rules with exactness and i love it here in germany. That will be cool to know when I get home that I (probably) have my own room I hope ( Back off little kids) So is there anything that i can do to help any thing i would really like to know and see where i can help. I hope that you like the pictures that i sent you hope all goes well with the house.

Letter from Zak

Hey how are you doing? Well I love it here in Germany. I cant believe how much I can understand and I am learning more and more language (thanks to my trainer, Elder Crump).

Well, I heard that you like to hear about miracles, well here is one. On Sunday this past week we were having a ton of finding time so we could get a our minds off of food so we did doors for about three hours. Then we went and ate that was AMAZING. After that Elder Crump told me to pray and look at the map of where we should go. So I did that and we found a place Limburgerhof on the street of Mosel. So we got to Limbergerhof. Elder Crump wanted to hurry over to that street and wanted to ride our bike. I suggested that we walk, so we walked over there and found this amazing guy and I think that we are going to meet with him this week

Thats what is going on in Ludwigshafen
