Hey Family,
I'm glad to see that life back at home is still the same,
all coming together to watch a movie and no one paying attention. P.s. The dog looks super old and the living
room is obviously different but no worries.
We had actually a pretty crazy week. Something that I truly saw this week is a
fulfillment of 1 Nephi 3:7. So about 4
months back, Elder Adler, a member of the area seventy here in Euorpe
encouraged all the wards to change the times for their Sacrament to be the
first block of the church meeting and not the last block, like we normally have
here in Germany. And that was a trial
for some people. I'm remember this entire time it has been a struggle to get
this into action. I love my ward and
just like all ideas and suggestions, there are those who are for change and
there are others who are not so receptive to change. So let's say that it took
about 4 months to get this into action. And as we discussed this for the last
months, I always had 1 Nephi 3:7 pop into my head. We know that when the Lord gives us
commandments and ask things for us to do, He will always prepare a way for His
purposes. And so I was really excited
when they announced the change of times in the church here in Hamburg. However, some where not so excited and told
us that we would not have that much success with friends coming to church. But miracles happened and this week we had
the most people that came to church!!! It was so cool to see the blessings that
come from following the direction from Gods appointed servants! It was really
cool.
But with that being said, I do not know if I will be
transferred. I really try not to think
about it but I know that my time is coming up here in beautiful Hamburg. If I
could get the chance, I would love to go back to the east, to Freiberg where
the temple is (but there are only zone leaders there and I do not know if I
will stay a zone leader) or I would love to stay in the west and go to a
city like Hannover. But we will
see. Wherever the Lord needs me. And I know that these transfers are inspired
and come from God. And yes I got the package! Thanks for all the sweets!
Love,
Elder Bretzing
