Well here we are again. My week went by really fast and it was definitely a good week. We have been seeing so many miracles in the last week. Right now the ward is doing a 40 day fast. Each day a different member fasts for the missionary work and so then it's a "40 day fast". Heilige Kuh has it been working! People have literally been popping up out of nowhere. Last Sunday this guy, Francois, from Togo just showed up at church. He told us that he lives in the area and just decided to stop by. We met with him twice and he is so prepared! He was raised Catholic but never really like them. He has visited a bunch of different churches. He told us that he has been visiting churches his whole life because he is looking for the truth but hasn't found it yet. We responded with, "We have and awesome story of a 14 year old boy who also wanted to find the truth." He was so excited about the restoration and just understood everything so well. Without us saying anything he just starting freaking out and talking about how because Joseph got the authority from God to act in his name and how it was important to receive authority to claim to be a prophet. He was so excited after we taught him the Plan of Salvation a couple of days later that we invited him to be baptized on the 7th of March. He said yes and is now working towards that. He was just so excited and understood so clearly the doctrine of the lessons.
We also invited Bahram to Baptism on the 28 of February. He is very open and receptive to the Spirit and has a testimony of the church. He has read the Book of Mormon in Farsi already and is now starting it in German. The Farsi version is only selections and isn't the whole book. I don't really understand why they wouldn't just translate the whole thing. But he already has expressed feeling the spirit and when we invited him to be baptized he was so happy and told us that he wasn't going to sleep until the 28th.
Josef is doing pretty well. He came to the baptism of an 8 year old girl in the ward on Saturday and said that he felt a really special spirit during the baptism. He came about 45 minutes early so that he could read in the Book of Mormon. His father took his Book of Mormon and threw it away or hid it and won't allow him to read at home so he has been trying to find other places that he can read. We also taught him a really powerful lesson after the baptism. There was just a powerful sprit of love in the room while we were teaching. That last sentence sounded kind of gay but whatever. That is the best way to describe the feeling that was in the room:)
Angela isn't doing to well. She is making good progress in the gospel but she is having lots of problems with her eyes. She has been seeing little black dots in her vision and having eye pain. The doctors told her that there is an infection but there is nothing that they can do. She will just have to deal with it until it goes away. She woke up with a lot of pain and spent the whole day in bed so she couldn't come to church. We're hoping that she gets better:(
Omid is still doing well as well. He came to Institute but was in Frankfurt from Thursday till Sunday night.
We also had Interviews with President on Thursday. It was really good but was kind of strange because its my last one until right before I go home. President Kosak is awesome. He is such a great Mission President. I mean I don't know any different but... He is just so great.
Well I have some bad news. Kingsley,my ladybug, died this last week. We had a funeral and then I buried him in my flower pot. I included a picture of his grave. The other picture is just my bed so that you can all see how good I am am making my bed;)
The Trip sounds good as well and the activities also.
Enjoy your cheap gas! That is so crazy! Just a question...Has anything strange been happening in Yellowstone since I left?
Well I love you all and hope you have a great week! Thus I close mine epistle. May the force be with you.
