A wonderous work

Meine Familie,

Wow this week in Leipzig was the bomb!

Mosiah 2:16   “….For I have only been in the service of God.”

First off…Sister McCall and I have had a great success together. We were just talking about how much more successful the missionary work is when the companions are just so great for each other. And we have for sure felt that in the two weeks that we have been together.

First of all…We have a new investigator family from Peru. They are so awesome. After our first appointment with them we both agreed that we can totally see the whole family as members of the church. The mom is super busy with things and so the oldest son who is like 5 years old loves to talk to us about God and then the little girl is one year old. The dad is atheist, but the whole family is totally ready to hear our message we have for them. We are so excited to keep meeting with them.

Our Bishop and his wife are so amazing…they are retired and so they tell us we can stop by anytime we want…every time we do though they she always fixes us up a big lunch. Lol. They are so sweet though and I love working with them.

We also have an investigator named Philip…He is awesome, just slowly making progress. The good part is that he does not smoke in front of us anymore during our appointments. But he totally will be baptized one day for sure. He comes to all the activities for the young single adults.

We met this really cute old lady on the street last week and met with her for the first time on Thursday. Her name is Frau Becher. She is just so sweet and we are going a bit slow with her, because she told us she thought the Jehovah Witnesses were too pushy and so we do not want to be that way for sure. But we will be meeting with her every Thursday.

Nadine is an awesome investigator. Her best friend is Mormon in Hanover so she goes there every weekend and goes to church with her friend. My first appointment with her she brought her fiancé and wanted us to teach him the plan of salvation and was like bearing testimony to him that they can be an eternal family… it was so cute. We invited her to baptism our last appointment, but she said she will pray about it. We are really praying for June fourth with her. She also comes to all the young single adult activities… it is awesome and she told us she really does believe everything we have taught and given her is true.

Chrystal and me

Crystal is an awesome member who was active for four years and then went inactive for 16 years and is now fully active for the past three months. She is so awesome. We meet with her once a week and are re-teaching her everything because she does not remember it all. She is so much fun and such a great enthusiastic person for the gospel. I love her.

Richard is this other investigator who had a baptismal date back in November, but did not show up for it. We are working with him and he is starting to rethink about baptism. He is from Bolivia and makes amazing food. My goodness.

Alexandra is awesome is a single mom …with a four and a five year old and has no idea where the dad is. But she is such a light. We usually will go see her twice a week and we go to the park so her kids can play…She mostly just needs someone to talk to and always loves us to read her a scripture every time we see her.

And finally, we had an eating appointment yesterday and that lady stuffed us. … We had to go lay down after the appointment because our stomachs hurt so bad. Why do these people think we can just eat so much…because we really cannot. My goodness.

Things are just rockin’ here and I love it. The gospel is true… And I will probably get y’alls package on Friday at zone conference!! I am excited I will get to see Sister Risenmay.

Have a great week!!!!!

Sister Anderson
