Dear Family,
Hey, wow - what
a crazy week. These weeks are just blowing by. We were in Berlin on Friday
again and had our Leadership Council. There were some exciting things
introduced to the mission regarding the Missionary “Uebertragung” (broadcast)
from a couple months ago. Our mission made a DVD called “The Work of Salvation”
and it is used for member visits. It has the whole session on it, and then
extras specifically used for working with members. It's awesome and we've used
it already and it works! It gets the members really excited and feeling the
spirit that they want to do something. So it's our job to keep the fire
burning.
The Ward is so excited about missionary work. Br. Stephens who was baptized 4 weeks
ago has brought a lot of excitement into the Ward. He received the Priesthood
yesterday and has already been doing missionary work. His son is now meeting
with us, and an African lady friend of his from a different church came to Church
yesterday, too. We will now be meeting with her and her German boyfriend on
Sunday after church!
One night
last week we had 20 minutes before we needed to be inside and so we did some
finding in our area. I had a prompting to go down a street and just stared it
down as we walked past it. Elder Mc.
looked at me funny, lol, but we kept walking. Then, I'm like – “nope”, and we
turned around and walked the way I felt prompted to. We talked to everyone we
saw (like 3 people) but no one was interested. One of them talked to us and
said some things that got us pretty upset. Elder McKean was ticked. Then the
last person we saw before we had to go inside was just at an intersection. He
was a young man from Silvania who had met with missionaries before. He said, “I
want to come to institute and FHE! When is it?!” We got his information and gave him ours. If
it would have been any other timing he would have been on the other street already
and we would of missed him. The Lord has blessing us and others. Our Chinese
investigators are doing great! One of them left yesterday to England but the
other one wants to meet at least twice a week with us at the member’s house! So,
we are getting fed well! J
There's a lot of excitement in Opa for
missionary work now. It's amazing how much he's been affected from everything!
He passed the sacrament yesterday and participated in ordaining Br. Stephens to
the office of a Priest. The Church leaders in this Ward are amazing and are
very, very, supportive! Bischof Back is awesome! Chris also was confirmed
yesterday and received the Gift of the Holy Ghost. His ex-girlfriend and 3 year
old daughter were there to see it in Delingsdorf!
The
work is moving forwards! I love you all and thanks for the humorous letters J! I
would write more but we have a short P-day today with booked lessons during our
P-day time, lol. But hey, it’s a P-day not a free-day!
Love Elder Luening
