First things first, we got a new mission President.
You know, the big guy in charge of the 180ish missionaries here around
Frankfurt and the entire missionary work for a third of Germany? Yeah
that guy.
His name is President Boyer. We got to meet him and his family for the
first time last Monday. I gotta say I'm pretty impressed. he's brought
his wife and 4 kids along which is different from Pres Stoddard who
was older and retired. It'll be quite the change here in Frankfurt but
I'm convinced it'll be positive. Being a mission pres is probably one
of the craziest and hardest callings in the church especially with
young kids, but he seems up to the task.
This week Elder H. and I have been seeing a huge difference in the day
to day. We're still not working consistently with anyone but we've
been setting up quite a few who could progress quickly. For some
reason a bunch of people are also suddenly throwing people our way
from all over. One referral came from Missouri, another from Poland,
last week a group of about 4 guys visiting from Utah gave us a name
too. Just goes to show the Big Man upstairs is working harder than we
are. We're pretty grateful for his help too, we certainly can't do it
otherwise.
Random story for ya this week. Yesterday we didn't have anything in
particular planned so after helping a member with a move we spent the
day dropping by on less-active members and some potentials. After half
a dozen or so with not so much success we were feeling pretty beat so
we thought we'd try to drop by on one last guy on our list then go
home.
As we were getting ready to hop on a bus a guy flagged us down and
suddenly started talking all about Jesus and giving us his number and
address insisting we visit him sometime. He seemed a bit crazy so we
didn't take it too seriously. We then ran for our bus and took an
uneventful ride, however once we reached our stop and got ready to get
off....lo and behold....it's the same guy!
About 10km away he literally was getting on the same bus as we were
getting off. It made no sense but we took it as a sign that we should
give him a call and set up an appointment.
And today we took a trip with the sisters and one of their
investigators to a nunnery. We got to see some monks sing Gregorian
style, explore a lovely place which has been around since 1096 A.D.
And then take one of those peddle boat thingies for a ride in a shirt
and tie. So therefore.....Pictures!
We also dressed up for the 4th of July, myself with red white and blue
attire. And Elder H with his festive socks that almost got him in
trouble haha. (The picture doesn't do them justice)
Liebe Grüße- Elder Füller
