It was a great week because I got to Skype the family yesterday. All five siblings were together online!
Here are a couple of other highlights from the week:
On Wednesday we had the last district meeting of the transfer. I got a little creative and used the Easter egg dye that mom sent me as part of my lesson. Every companionship had two eggs. On the first egg, each companionship wrote one thing that they wanted to focus on, whether it be finding, teaching, or helping people make/keep commitments. On the second egg they wrote the number of baptisms they wanted to achieve in their area by the end of June. Everyone got to take them home and keep them on their desks as a reminder. Ha Ha, of course until they start to stink. Elder Despain's and my eggs are still good. We are doing well as companions--here are a couple of pics:
That afternoon we hit some area book contacts. The person at the first door that we knocked on let us in and was super excited to see us. He was a nice old man and after sitting and chatting a little bit, getting to know each other, we made an appointment to go back next week.
Wednesday night we went over to Michael's apartment and committed him to baptism. He is from Nigeria. He really likes the church and he wants to be baptized. He just needs to commit himself to coming to church regularly. We are in daily contact with him.
We had a really good lesson with Peter and Lars on Thursday. Lars is the guy that Peter brought to church last week. They both came to family home evening at a members house Monday night. Lars doesn't believe in God but is willing to find out if he exists. Peter acted like a member during our lesson. He did a good job. I just want him to say he wants to be baptized! We taught the plan of salvation.
Friday morning we retaught the lesson on the Godhead to Nanakofi. After weekly planning, we went and had an lunch appointment/service project in a member's garden. We were tilling the ground with shovels...not the most efficient work.
Saturday we decided to get out of Bremen and do some contacting in Delmenhorst. It was a ghost town. Not sure why. We ended up going by several less-active members' homes but no one was home. Kind of a discouraging day. On the way home, we did a little window shopping....:
I hope everyone has a wonderful week! Take care!
Love,
Elder Tanner Germann
