Well this week I think I have had the most insane experience on my mission. Like it was extremely unique.
So we were contacting around this river/neighborhood and I saw a man sitting on a bench and I just had the impression to pray before I spoke to the guy. I did so and right as I finished the man looked up at me and kinda waved. I did as well and just how he was and such in German... But this guy couldn't speak a lick of German or English. He spoke Spanish. And he started speaking in Spanish.
But here's the crazy part!
I understood the guy and somehow spoke it back! Like this never happens!? I didn't think this was how it worked but the guy was astonished. He told me he lived in Spain for seventeen years or so and just moved to Germany. I told him we are missionaries of our church and we could help him out. He saw the badge and took a card but no number... Darn! Who knows what will happen with the guy in the future but that was really cool.
But other than that we have been on our toes. We have been grinding in some solid finding and we have about 3-5 appointments a day with solid people but the one that really seems to be making progress is Cassandra! She went to church and loved it and the members were awesome and friended her. She then went home and texted us saying she likes it and asked about prayer. We told her we do it when we show thankfulness and concern. We also showed her a scripture about faith and that seemed to nail the casket shut. She loved it and says she no longer feels alone and feels good. Now we are just trying to get her baptized.
I could tell you about all the others but right now she is showing so much progress. Like I said we are quite busy everyday. Last week we got six investigators and this week we already almost have another six. IT'S ALL ABOUT THE FINDING! Haha and they actually come to appointments to! Like after the first lesson this man pulled out a cigarette and we asked him if he wanted to stop. He said yea!
So we told him to throw that cigarette on the ground.
And he did! Haha and now he has been making so much progress with smoking as we follow up with him and we haven't even taught the commandments. Let's go!
All is good here and I got the card mom. Haha won't lose it.
Much love yall.
