So, I must say it has been a crazy week. It started out pretty good. I was excited about the things going on. However, it was followed by an interesting experience. I want to report on that experience today. Hopefully others can learn from it as much as I did.
We had just had an excellent appointment. It seemed like everything was going perfect. We were in the train heading home after the good appointment when a man began talking with us. He started out being a pretty normal guy who doesn't like us, but then it escalated to the point where there was obviously a huge opposition there. I could quite literally feel the presence of the devil. It was a feeling of hopelessness and darkness. I could not believe what was going on--all in the presence of our investigator! The man stayed on the train as we got off despite his threatenings, and we headed to the bus station. While waiting for the bus, the evil spirit seemed to move into the body of a nearby lady. She immediately took on a form of negativity. The people around us definitely noticed the difference in mood as well. We got on this bus, and the opposition was still there. I feel like I was stuck in thick fog that blocked all form of proper thinking. I then felt this small quiet light in my heart, the Spirit. It told me to get off the bus at a certain bus stop. The moment I listened to the Spirit and got off the bus, this evil, thick fog and opposition had no more power. It was a testimony to me that Satan is there to work against us, and when we follow God we can be freed from his chains. It was a very, very crazy experience, and I hope to not experience it again. I guess these are the kinds of stories you expect to hear from missionaries though, haha.
Well, needless to say, it ended up being a strange week. It seems like things are back to normal, and I am working hard! I am looking forward to a great week and watching General Conference this coming weekend. I hope you all have a wonderful week, and that blessings are sent your direction. I know that God lives, and I know he wants the best for each one of us, his children!
Germany is still as great as ever! I am enjoying it the best I can!
