November 28, 2024: I need something more than only me

Image
  First- Happy Thanksgiving!!  Second- I did not write last week. There may be some lost content but it's been a great couple weeks since my last email! We've been teaching a crazy amount of lessons and it is awesome. We have a very nice variety of languages, backgrounds, and people we're teaching. It's probably about 33% German, 33% English (often from Nigeria) and then 33% other where we have to involve translation, wether Turkish, French, or Arabic. It's super cool. We have a few people making a lot of progress: Alex: I was calling up old contacts a couple weeks ago and a Turkish lady named Alex picked up the phone and we made an appointment.

  This week has been a great week! I have only 5 minutes to write this email so it'll be short. Transfers just happened! Elder Oswald left me  . I'm going to miss him, but now I'm with Elder Stubbs, who is already a ZL in his 4th transfer. He's an awesome dude and I'm excited to work with him.

When we have extended periods of time outside we usually go in a McDonald's and grab a nice warm fry for a couple minutes, and then go out all warmed up.  We had an exchange this week and I went to Friedrichsdorf, where the Temple is. Its always nice to see it! We found some cool people and I got to pull out some Persian on a bunch of people so that's fun.  Some of our friends got sick and we had the opportunity to give them priesthood blessings. That was a cool experience! I've had the opportunity to give a few members blessings but haven't till now to friends. Had a little miracle yesterday. We texted an inactive member named Claristo who we wanted to visit but we'd never met before. He said "we will see if I have time" which as a missionary 99% of the time is just a ...
