Phillip or Phillipp?

It's super cold, but super cute here!

Moin Moin! 

This week was another week filled of interesting adventures here in Bergedorf. We started the week off with Tausch. I stayed here in Bergedorf with our Sister Training Leader named Sister Terhorst. She is super sweet. We had a very interesting experience though. Tuesday morning, we were going to have an appointment in Mümmelmansberg with an investigator named Phillip, an African man from Ghana. We called him when we got there and he said that he was in a German class and would be able to meet in a few hours. While we were waiting, we decided to go by on another investigator. We ended up teaching her about the plan of salvation and why we are hear on the earth. Phillip never called us back though. So we continued through our day and went back to Bergedorf to have some lunch and do some finding. While we were talking with this man on the street, we got a phone call from an unknown number. When we answered, it was Phillip telling us that he wanted to meet up in Bergedorf. So we walked over to McDonalds to wait. After about 5minutes he called saying that he had arrived. We were looking all over for Phillip. Then a white man walked out on the phone saying "There you are!". This was not African Phillip. When we started talking to him, he also said his name was Phillipp. (with two p's). He said that he had had contact with the church once before. He is a born again Christian and used to be Muslim. We ended up giving him the first lesson and he wants to start coming to our church. We have yet to figure out how the numbers switched in our phones from Phillip to Phillipp... but now we have a new investigator! And we lost contactwith our other investigator. haha! Win lose situation?

Sister Garcia and I are also starting to work with the young woman here...there is only one. But, she is super sweet. :)

I am running out of time, but I hope that you have a lovely week! :)
