Mom, Dad,
I love you. You really are amazing parents. I read your
emails and think about how selfless and how loving you both are. Dad, you said
you changed as a person on your mission, and I don't know how anyone could go
on a mission and not change...but I guess, sadly, some manage to do it. My
mission President is an amazing man. He's so loving and so direct and helpful
with everything.
My week was an exciting one. F., our french speaking
investigator came to church yesterday with sad news that he will most likely be
getting deported back to Italy on the 6th of Feb. He is appealing the case, but
it's not looking very hopeful. He spoke with a member for an hour and they
discussed it together. He's obviously off of baptismal date for now, but will
be coming to church next week. We hope that we can find out where in Italy
he'll be so he can at least continue to get spiritual strength from members and
missionaries there.
B., is now on baptismal date for the
9th of Feb. 2 weeks! J And he brought a friend to church yesterday who also
wants to start meeting with us. Then an investigator from December came to
church and he will be baptized on the 15th of Feb. We sat and discussed where
his testimony was at and asked him if he would like to set it as a goal to be
baptized in 3 weeks. He's been to a baptism before and said, “Ja. das hört sich
prima an! (Yeah, that sounds prima!) We explained how he would be interviewed then and
read through the baptismal interview questions with him to see where he was at.
Then we started from the beginning and taught him the Restoration. It was
awesome! He felt the spirit and he wants us to make a reading calendar for him
to prep him for his baptism. We're excited for him!
I'm personally
doing really well. Sometimes I get lost in thoughts of what's gonna happen when
I'm back?! What's it like to be a normal person again...what do normal people
do?? Ha-ha. But yeah, glad that that's still a little while away. I love it out
here. I've learned so much, and I'm still learning tons.
I love you all and have a great week,
Elder Lüning
