Hey Family,
Well this week has been really exciting. Lets start with how the beginning of the week
went.
I met my new companion, Elder Morton, at the Hamburg Main
Trainstation. Elder Morton is from
Sandy, Utah. He is actually really
cool. We really hit it off with each
other the first time.
I knew him a little before from other events in the mission so I am
excited to work with him. It was actually really funny, because everyone that
comes from the Zone in Kiel will all come down to Hamburg during transfers, so
we got to have a train ride all the way up together. From what he has told me, we have alot of
work to do and that things are starting to look up. And we sure did see some
miracles this past week.
Ok, so Kiel... Well, it has rained everyday since I have
been here. I have seen the sun for only
2 hours total. It is super cold up here
and it is a beach city which is a major plus and I am super grateful for
Heavenly Father sending me here when it is cold so I cannot waste time at the
beach. I have not seen it yet but I have
heard it is really cool.
The ward is also a little different. It is smaller and there was a branch nearby
that was closed down so we have people who live in Kiel and people who live in
an area called Rensburg. But as I was
sitting at church this sunday, my first sunday here in Kiel, I remember feeling
nervous. And during sacrament, I had this
immense feeling that God is very mindful of why I am here and it was almost
like "Hey get to know everyone here and help them!" So we made out
alot of appointments with the bishop, ward mission leader, and other people.
So we are getting to work.
Ok Miracles, so I do not have too much time, I am
actually finishing my emails at an McDonalds because they has wifi and we are
watiting to go on an exchange with some missionaries. But, we have seen soo many miracles. Through talking with people on the buses, we
have found 2 families that are super interesting in learning more about he
gospel and about family home evening and how they can have one. So this week we have return appointments to
teach them a little more. We also have
some really cool friends of ours that I still do not know all their names but I
will get to know them!
But everything is off to a wonderful start! I am excited
for it!
Ok, now with the things going on at home. What legal things are going on? Do I even
want to know? Is it about dad? And that was a big schock about Jeff and
Nadine. But it sounds like he has his
head on right if he is looking for a better job. When I read that, I kind of just looked up
from my ipad and said, ok looks like there is another little neice/nephew that
will be waiting for me at home. But I am
excited to get to know him/her.
Well, I love you all!
Elder Bretzing
