Well there were a lot of missionaries that came down to Sønderborg this week. Anders has investigated for a long time so we had a big sleep over in my apartment and then headed down across the border to see this great guy make an important decision.
It was a great day. Anders was extremely happy and his wife came to support him. Me and Elder Reber got another picture just after.
But in all honesty it has been such an incredible experience to see someone make this decision. He's a great guy and after he was baptized I asked him how he felt and he said it was as if he had no cares or worries in the world and that it just felt right. He's incredibly in tune with the spirit.
Being in Germany again was also great, I grabbed a souvenir at the stand by the bus station for you Mom :) I tried contacting a lot of people on the street on the way back and even handed out a few cards all on my own completely in German! Haha it was pretty rough.
Germany :) It looks kind of like Denmark...
The hardest part of the week and the trip to Germany is just that Elder Reber brought some strange virus with him from the MTC and now me him and another Elder in the apartment have throat infections and have been coughing our lungs out all week long. Mine actually got so bad it spread to my ear and I couldn't hear out of my left ear for a day or two... It hurts to talk and swallow. I was about ready to go to the doctor for Antibiotics but it's been getting better today and yesterday so I think it'll just go away. It's kind of sad because doing the extra studying that they make you do while training already takes up so much time that I feel like I haven't even been able to do any real work with Elder Reber between being sick and training and going to Germany and what not.
Pretty much I can't think of a lot of other interesting things we've done... I've just been doing quite a bit of thinking about desires though. It's way hard to be able to change what we want. But it's also where the greatest power lies. We can bite the bullet and do what we are supposed to, but if we are resenting it the whole time it doesn't really benefit us at all and when we are rewarded ''according to the desires of our hearts'' it's not going to be what we might originally think. So my challenge recently has been trying to desire all the things I'm doing and working for instead of just doing them... a lot harder than it sounds if you're honest :)
Love you all!
