Meine Mission nach Deutschland: Samstag, Februar 25, 2012

This past week was really good. We started teaching a family, which is SWEET!!! It was really good. The mom (Christine) has been to the church once in the past and she really liked it. She was very impressed, she said. She was impressed by a certain member in our ward whose name is Brother Opare - so we brought him along the next time we met with her, and it was awesome! Africans talk in parables, and Brother Opare is from Ghana (Christine and her family are from Nigeria) - and Brother Opare just talked to this lady in parables the whole night and we had no idea, really, what he was talking about sometimes, but Christine understood everything and loved it. It was awesome. We also met her kids one night when she wasn't home. She wanted us to meet with her 16-year old son named, King - who she said "needs to be taught how to be a man" and to teach him about Jesus, because since he's come to Germany he has been doing stuff she doesn't like. So we met with her and the rest of her kids. The rest of her kids are all younger than King. The next one is 12 years old and then 10, and 6, and 3, and 1 ½. She has quite a few kids, but we were very impressed with King. He has really good faith in Jesus Christ. We watched Finding Faith in Christ with him and the rest of the kids, and they loved it. This family is pretty cool. We like them a lot and feel good about them.

Then last week we went to Olympia Park here in Munich. They had the Olympics there in 1972, I think. I'm not sure. It was a cool place, though. The only place you can go into without having to pay for the tour, is the pool hall because it’s a public pool - but the park is still very pretty and I'm glad we went. I sent you pictures and so you'll see.

The office is going okay. I'm having to do end-of-the-month bill stuff, and give missionaries their money for the next month. It’s a lot of money. That’s all for this past week, though, really.
