Wow!
So, I had a great birthday week! I know I told some of you that I didnt have any stories this week, but I was thinking about it and I remembered a couple. My birthday went really well. I enjoyed traveling to Freiberg, and my mission president and his wife called me up to wish me a happy birthday too! It was fun. Thanks for all the birthday wishes.
On Wednesday, I had the chance to work in Eilenburg with another member of my district. That was really cool. One, we got to ride bikes. I forgot how much fun that is! Two, we saw miracles! We were walking around town talking to people, and it seemed like we were having no luck. We finally decided to go do some doors, and started heading out in a certain direction. A lady came up to us, and she pointed at us and said, "I am curious! Who are you guys? I saw you walking around earlier, and now that I see you again I want to ask." We ended up having a long conversation with her. It turned out to be a lesson about the restoration of the Gospel. About 20 minutes into the lesson, she was told us to hold on a second. She pointed at the Elder from Eilenburg and asked him where he was from. Then, she turned to me, and she said, "You are one of us though! Here in Germany!" I was surprised! This lady thought I was a German! I have been working the entire mission to gain enough vocabulary and a good enough accent that I would sound like a German! haha. That was really cool to be mistaken as a German. It is only the second time that I have experienced that, but that is pretty good considering most missionaries dont.
So, it was a great week. I really enjoyed it! I hope you all have an excellent week this week. Remember to say your prayers, be positive, and smile!
