Guten Morgen Liebe Familie! 2/2/2015
I do not think you have to worry about a whole letter in
German anymore. It is really fun, but it takes too much time and I do not have
the patience for it. This week has been hard. Our District has
really been struggling with finding new investigators. I have thought
about it over and over again, and I cannot put my finger on the reason why we
are struggling there. I know for me personally, it has been tough.
Sometimes, I get caught up in myself and when that person passes on the street,
I just beat myself up and it is a vicious cycle and I find myself talking to
nobody that day. And that happened alot this week. And it just goes
back to having trust in myself and to really learn and grow and not to beat up
and be disappointed. Disappointment is the last place where we want to
be.
It has been a very humbling week, and a week where I have
been reminded of how much Heavenly Father trusts us and knows that with His
help, all is possible. And my trust that I have found myself putting more
into His hands, is knowing that He needs me to be the District Leader
here. Sometimes, I feel like I am not the right one for the job.
And I know that I should not be thinking this way, and I have beaten these
dangerous thought traps before, and I just came to the realization that my
trust should always be in the Lord. For He knows why all happens, and
that I have a testimony of.
So this next week, I have made some great
plans to really improve my week and to stay positive. And I think that
can really help my district as well too. So I am so sorry that my email
is short this week, but I have alot of work to do and I am looking
forward to seeing the progress and change in this next week. We have
still been having some good appointments with our investigators, and it has
been such a great spiritual uplifter to see their desire to come closer to God
and that through their efforts to come closer to Him, their lives have been
blessed.
Love you,
Elder Bretzing
