Freiberg Temple!
This week was really filled with so many miracles! During
district meeting this week, a lady called the Elders here asking if some
missionaries would be willing to come and visit her. She told them that she had
read a little bit about the church and its doctrine online. Of course we
volunteered and made our way over. We came to find out that she met with the
missionaries over six years ago and had an accident which led her to be in a
wheelchair. She is super sweet and has a very strong faith in God. This week
were able to meet with her a few times and talk a little bit more about the
Book of Mormon and Jesus Christ. She was not born into any particular faith,
but she said through life experiences, she has learned that there is a God who
really is there and watches over us and also a Savior who made it possible for
us to return to him. I think that is so amazing how much peace, hope and
support we can get from faith.
We also had a really spiritual experience this week. We had the opportunity to visit the temple in Freiberg. The temple, in the moment, is closed. They are enlarging it. But, it will be opened again in June of next year. It was cool because we invited one of the people we are teaching and he ended up bringing a friend with him. It was a super amazing experience. There are two sister missionaries there that give a little thought to people that come and visit. They told us a little about the history of the temple and talked to us about what we do in temples and why they are so important. Our Prophet Präsident Thomas S, Monsson once said,
"I think there is no place in the world where I feel closer to the Lord than in one of His holy temples."
I agree! It has been over a year since I have had the opportunity to go inside one of these Holy buildings. I miss the spiritual atmosphere that not only is inside, but also on the grounds.
The last thought I want to say is about my mission. I am so grateful for the year and a half that I have to serve my Heavenly Father. I am also grateful that I have been able to learn the language and speak with people every single day. "Thank you black missionary name tag for giving me license to have intimate experiences with complete strangers."
I love the people here in Germany and I love all of you! I hope that you all have an amazing week!
