Week 41 BJF Aug 24

What it feels like to be a missionary!



 Well that was an interesting two weeks,

I suppose I'll quickly recap last week first then I'll catch you up on
the more current stuff.

We spent a lot of our week with our friend Erick. He's technically the
Bonn Sisters investigator but we teamed up to make sure he could reach
his baptism. Which that following Saturday, He did! He's been meeting
with Sisters since sometime last year and had been making slow
progress until more recently. Once he finally made his decision he
started learning like crazy. He had been in a world of drugs, gangs,
and parties and he has since made a complete turn around. He's
originally from Mexico so the baptismal service was half Spanish half
German, unfortunately I only kind of speak one of those two so I
missed part but the important part is that he understood. It's was the
first baptism I've seen here in Germany and it's so cool to see how
his life has been blessed and how much happier he seems.

Later that evening after our kinda 'post-baptism party' we got home
and realised we were about to get our transfer calls. We were about
95% sure the whole district was staying in Bonn/Euskirchen except for
me. Everybody knew I'd be transferred except for me, I was the last to
find out. I ended up being transferred to Wesel. It's still kind of
the same part of Germany so not too much of a change.

I wasn't very excited to leave. I'm going to miss that district and
the great people we had been working with.

The following Monday I grabbed all my stuff and hopped on a train to
Wesel where I met up with Elder Yorgason my new companion. He's also
from the same MTC group as me and E. Holyoak so we're already buddies.
Wesel itself seems to be booming with success, I think we'll have some
fun these next few months.

I also got acquainted with our new District consisting of the Duisburg
Elders and Sisters, us in Wesel, and the Krefeld Elders.

Not too much else to talk about, mainly because I haven't met anyone
yet. But I hope you have a nice week.

Liebe -Elder Fuller

P.s. I have a new address for packages/letters. Kraftstraße 9, 46485 Wesel
However you can still send stuff to the mission office, it's just a
wee bit slower.

Such an amazing group this time around!  Well every transfer is great, Ja!

They called it the Relief Society district, ha.

Lots of sparkly white teeth these German speakers have!!
