So this week we saw the end of the Offenbach tripanionship, As we sent
E. HolyOak back to Wiesbaden with his new missionary and we shipped E.
Davis back to America (maybe in a box) either way that was an
expensive package to send. I believe he's still on his plane as I
write this.
I am now working with a new companion named E. Adams. Another
missionary out of Utah, Not quite as secluded as E. Davis was but he's
still "in the bubble" as we'd call it. He's an oddball but we should
get along just find. He's very talkative and quite good at contacting
people on the street, something I still don't like doing so he makes
up for it.
He was first in a area called "Solligen" if you're familiar with knife
makers you'll probably know the place as that's what the city is
famous for. He's got some interesting stories from that area. In
particular he really likes thrift shopping, so maybe we'll start
tracking down some German thrift stores haha.
On Tuesday we spent the day in Frankfurt trading E. HolyOak for E.
Adams. In the in between time we helped set up a street display for
the new missionaries. We essentially just set up some BoMs in many
languages and a few pictures of Christ set on a table in the
"Fußgänger Zentrum" where plenty of people are then set the
missionaries loose on the unsuspecting public.
They have displays regularly in Frankfurt and an especially big one
for each group of new missionaries that come in. So I got to take one
of these newbies and strike up conversations with people. Remembering
where I was my first day I know how nervous this poor guy was. So
naturally I tried making him as uncomfortable as possible trying to
contact even though he spoke no German. I'm not a very nice person.
But we had a lot of fun. It was cool to see the difference in where I
am now vs. 5 months ago.
Today we helped a young member paint his new Wohnung. It went quick
but I noticed how different the young Germans speak from the older
Germans. Course I'm guessing that's how it is in English too.
Otherwise I'm going to spend the next week getting used to working
with E. Adams and hopefully we'll see some cool stuff, I think I've
been sick for a few weeks and haven't noticed til now, and the weather
seems to be getting warm here for some unknown reason, were walking
around in T-shirts I didn't think that was possible til mid summer.
Hope life is good and y'all can recognize the little everyday miracles.
Große Liebe -Elder Füller
