"Make smart choices!"

Hey!!
       This week was super sick and a lot happened! Just to start off with the highlight, Lester got baptized on Saturday! It was amazing and you can already tell that he is changed and started a new, better life! We are very happy for him and excited to see him progress. Oh and the reason why I put make smart choices for my title is be abuse he always tells us that every time we leave his house! Haha and he has made a very smart choice by being baptized! I hope that we can all reflect on our own baptisms and realize how important they are for us. When we were baptized that opened the door to eternal life and many many blessings. Lester is aware that it won’t be easy, but he knows that Christ is with him every step of the way! I’m very thankful for the opportunity that we have to be able to be baptized for a remission of our sins!
       After the baptism Lester was given the Holy Ghost and ordained a member the next day, which was super cool! Then on Monday we had our Zone Conference. It was great to learn more about how we can better ourselves as missionaries and become more like Christ when we are teaching. I’m very grateful for our Mission president and his awesome testimony of Joseph Smith and the Book of Mormon. He is a huge example to all of us.
       Besides that, we have our transfer calls this Saturday so we will see what happens. We are hoping that we are both staying, but Elder Forsey has been in an American area his whole Mission so far (6 months). But you never know what will happen. That’s about all from this week, so I hope everyone has a good one!

Lester's baptism

Great week!!

       This week was awesome but so stressful!! We are just making sure our investigator is ready for his baptism this Saturday! It’s funny that as members we work so hard to help people progress towards baptism, but when it comes time for them to be baptized it’s so stressful! We know that his baptism will be perfect and he will be comforted by the Holy Ghost for sure! Please pray for him so that it all works out! His name is Lester or the tattooed investigator. Haha!
       Anyways, another highlight from the week was meeting with our Mission President and having interviews! He’s such a great guy and I’m very grateful to be able to get to know him and work alongside of him.
       Besides that, we had quite a few member appointments! I love the members here! They do so much for the missionaries and are always offering us something from off base! I’m very grateful for all that they do and for them letting us into their homes to help invite the Spirit.
       Well I know it’s short, but I can’t think fast enough for anything else to say! One of these weeks I’ll think of more than 5 sentences to write down! One last thing I do have for y’all is my testimony! I know this church is true and that Christ leads it! I know that we can be healed through Christ and because of baptism we are able to start life on His path. Because we are on His path after we are baptized we are given His help to help us through this life! I hope everyone will be able to reach out to His outstretched Hand and simply follow Him. Have a great week!!

Your Sons (Random email)

Saw your Elders tonight at a single adult function while wife and I are visiting friends in Deutschland. They are both happy, healthy & thriving. Thank you for sharing your Sons with the people of Germany.

Super schnell weekly!!

       Hey! Well if you could tell by my Weekly title, I got no time and I'm makin this quick!!! Ok so first off, we were able to set a baptismal date with one of our investigators!! (The one with the Book of Mormon scripture on his arm). He is doing really good and is so ready to follow Christ's example and be baptized! We are very happy for him! That will be next Saturday so pray for that homie!!
       Another in investigator said he wanted to be baptized but he wants to see a baptism take place before he sets a date. He is also very ready to follow Christ, so I know that if we get him to our other investigator's baptism next week he will feel the Spirit and know what he needs to do! We are very excited to see the progress of both of these guys!
       Besides that, we have been working with a couple of less active members that are amazing people! Life is hard, and it's not easy to stay grounded in the Gospel of Christ. I hope we will be able to help them as best we can to get them back onto the path towards Christ!
       Other than that stuff, and I probably missed a lot, we...

       Well I accidentally hit send on my weekly, but I had nothin else for ya so have a good week! Hahaha

 Hey this week was great!!
       We met with a couple of our investigators again and they are progressing very well!! We are very excited to set some baptismal dates here in the next few days, so please pray that those will work out! I'm very grateful for a God that is so rewarding! I know that He is aware of our needs and sometimes even our wants. He wants to help us be happy, so let Him help! He's not there to hurt anyone!!
       Ok so we had a crazy week, but since I finally have some time to write a solid weekly, I'll run you through the highlights. Last weekend we had a split and I was lucky enough to have Elder Clarke come to my area for a day! It was awesome to learn from him and get to know him better! He's a great guy and huge example to me! The funny thing is we lived 15 minutes away from each other back at home! He knows all my cousins and my little bro a bit, but we never met! It was awesome to chat about the good old days in northern Utah and stuff.
       Anyways, after that split not much happened until about Tuesday and we met some cool people on the street! Germans are funny people, especially the old ones! I love talking to the old Germans, but I don't think they like me as much haha! The best way that I can explain it is if you have ever had that crush on that girl of your dreams, but didn't like you back (or if you're a girl then the other way around). Hahaha it's a lot like that!!
       On Wednesday we were super busy!! It's so weird, for some reason our slow days are Monday and Tuesday and then from Wednesday to Sunday it gets so busy!! Anyways, we met with a less active that was really awesome and wants us to help her build her faith! We then met with an investigator that just got back from the states and she is really busy with a bunch of stuff, so we just said hi, but it was great to see her again! Following that, we went to one of the coolest member families in the world, the Parrys! They are such a fun family, I'm soooo lucky to have met them!! We had some amazing fajitas and ice cream and were able to share a little thought with them! After that we went to institute and chilled with the young single adults!
       Well that's about it! We are very excited to set some baptismal dates soon! Our investigators are sooo ready, i'm very grateful to be in this place of Germany at this time to be able to meet these awesome people! I know that the Lord puts us where we need to be and helps us talk to who we need to! Which is amazing! Because of that we meet lifelong friends, help others find Christ, and simply do His will. But there is a little work that we have to do to be able to be a part of this amazing life-changing work, we need to simply pray for the missionary opportunity, study the scriptures, and do what our Heavenly Father wants us to do. I am so grateful for the peace I'm able to find in my hard times and I hope everyone else can find that too!!
       Have a great week!!
