missionaries in the district to play some basketball. Well when we had gotten to the church we were the only ones there at the time. We went inside and from the front doors we noticed that there were two guys with a flashlight who looked like they were working on something. The lights were off, they were speaking German, and it was 6:30 in the morning. It made no sense for anyone to be working at the church, especially where they were crouched down at. They were doing something to a door and from we were they were about 50 feet away. We decided to just flip the lights on and see what happened. And as we flipped the lights on we saw 2 robbers stand up and stare at us. Elder Adams and I started running at them and as soon as we did the went out a door that was just a couple feet to their left. Luckily, as all that happened the other elders had pulled up in their car and had just gotten out of their car when they saw the two robbers bust out the door on the side of the building. After that they ran after them, but lost them. They eventually found two guys that looked like the robbers so we will see if that was them or not.
Anyways, as you can see we are staying on our toes for now on! We are super lucky that we didn’t get hurt or anything, but would’ve loved to have actually caught them redhanded. I’ll definitely let you guys know if we hear anything about that!
Also in the week, was Christmas!!!! I can’t believe it was over, it didn’t really feel like Christmas to be honest, but it’s sad that it’s over. It’s also sad that Light the World is over as well! It was great to see all the blessings from that and to be able to do something simple for our fellowmen. I hope that everyone can keep the spirit of Christmas and Light the World in their hearts as we continue on to the year 2018.
Today for pday we went to the border of Germany and France (which is only an hour away) and we hiked up to a super sweet view at these castle ruins. It wasn’t a crazy long hike but it was still a hike nonetheless!! I’ll throw in some sick pics and let them speak for themselves. Besides that, we are still working with our recent converts to help them stay in the spirit of being converted so they experience more blessings. The holidays are sadly making everybody too busy to either meet with us or just stop and talk with us. We are continuing to work hard and to get stuff done!
I hope everyone has a super awesome week! I’m very grateful for the Savior, Jesus Christ and that He was sent by a VERY loving Father in Heaven. Because He came, i know we can become clean again, by relying on His Atonement. I know that Jesus Christ also knows the exact pains that we are going through, which means the He is able to comfort us and help us know that everything will be alright! I love Christmas time and the awesome excuse that it gives us to give to others!!
Keep the spirit going!
