Oracles and German

This has been a great week. I loved it! We had some great experiences. What just disturbs me is that the time is passing by faster and faster. I can't really keep up with it. Especially here in the office days can zip by like nothing.

We had some lessons with Sean this week. We came to a really interesting point with him. Earlier in our lessens a week ago or so, we asked him what he thought about the BoM. He told us that he knew it was true and good. We were kinda happy to hear that. We asked him how he knew and after his answer we were a little less happy. He said that he had his ways.... He wouldn't tell us at that point what his way was. This week we came to this topic again and he shared that he consulted an oracle (in form of a book). We explained to him that we didn't believe in these kinds of things. He was saddened about that and he said that he didn't really want to stop using this oracle because it helped him. It seems that we've reached an impasse with him. It was a very interesting conversation but a little saddening.

We did a lot of work inside this week. We prepared many things for the training we'll have with the missionaries next week. One thing we had to do was really funny. President Freestone asked us to copy a quote from President Hinckley and to make some nice cards and laminate them to put in the scriptures for the missionaries. Elder Jensen wrote it up on the computer and printed everything out. Then we laminated them together and cut them up and everything. Just as we were finishing up Elder Jensen asked me if I wanted to check the quote for spelling. Well, I did and I found some typos. Great! President Freestone spotted them too later on and we got to re-do everything again. So we'd just wasted two hours laminating and cutting. That was a great moment. xD

We had an exchange on Friday with the Elders in Akropoli. That was tonnes of fun. They are three together so I got two of them for the exchange. We had fun startling people as we walked up to the people to contact them. Three big guys coming up to these small Greek people xD We also had some great lessons in the afternoon. We taught two brothers from Kongo (separately). One lesson was in French and then the other we taught in German. That was really cool. Elder Kopischke speaks German too. This was my first full lesson in German. This man from Kongo lived in Germany for a long time and because of that he speaks almost perfect German. We taught him the message of the Restoration. It was quite good. We gave him a baptismal date in the end. I was really happy about those two brothers. They are both really good.
