be spent finding. It was much needed as our teaching pool was old and
dwindling.
We had a killer day on Tuesday. At the end of the day, we had five new
investigators, a handful of really high potential contacts, and had
joined two bible groups. It was a cool day and I really felt like we
were in tune with the spirit. As I've gotten older on the mission, my
finding/interaction skills have definitely matured. I felt like we
were really listening to people and were comfortable standing there
and holding a solid conversation. One guy said, "Yeah, you guys wanna
over next week!" We attended one of the bible groups that night. It
had the same feel of Younglife but in German.
Wednesday in district meeting we had discussed the importance of the
Book of Mormon and how it can be used to respond to objections and
questions. We also met with two different members Wednesday and
discussed repentance with both. We read from the talk "His Grace is
Sufficient" by Brad Wilcox. It has easily become my favorite talk and
has helped me better understand not only the concept of grace, but
also the Atonement as a whole. I actually met Brad Wilcox once. He was
the keynote speaker at my first Youth Conference at ECU. Everyone
should look up that talk!
We found another new investigator on Thursday. We were following up
with some old investigators in a college dorm that had been found by
missionaries last year. The guy we were looking for wasn't home but a
friend was. He let is in and gave us food. Without asking he said,
"I'll come to your church." He said he really respected what we did
trying to make the world a better place.
We didn't celebrate the 4th of July. We had a service project and lessons
all day. This week was not fun with 100 degree heat. There's no AC
anywhere either so it was really bad. They shortened church to only
fast and testimony meeting.
I hope everyone a great week!
Love,
Elder Tanner Germann
