So this weekend was conference. It was absolutely amazing. I am so thankful for the crazy technology that makes it all possible. We were able to watch a few of the sessions live. We haven't seen Sunday Afternoon yet but hopefully we will soon. Sometimes the translations are a little funny. Especially when someone makes a pun or when President Monson quotes a poem but overall it is pretty impressive.
We witnessed a few General Conference miracles this weekend as well.
We started the Stop Smoking workshop with Schwester M*****. We found a new investigator named N*****. We had an appointment fall out with G**** but then through a miraculous case of being at the right place at the right time we made contact again. It turns out she missed our appointment because she had a crazy day of things out of her control and not simply because she blew us off.
But I saved the best for last.
Frau K******* and Bruder J***** came to conference!!
I repeat Frau K******* came to conference!
We were sitting and talking with some members when our sweet elders poked thier heads in and said "Sisters you need to get out here. Frau K******* is here!" My heart seriously jumped. I flew out of my chair and down the hallway. And yes. There she was. Just standing there all dressed up with Bruder J*****. It was a conference miracle!
We watched the Saturday morning session with them (which was really our Saturday night). President Uchtdorf's talk at the end about joining the church or coming back was seriously an answer to our prayers.
After we had a chance to talk with them and it went really well. They both said how good they felt and that they had really enjoyed it. Then we continued to talk with Frau K******* and I watched Bruder J***** walk over to the wall and grab a tithing slip and envelope and put them in his pocket. Later I also found out that he talked to the Elders Quorum president and would like to get a home teaching assignment.
It is such an amazing feeling to watch people change their lives to follow Christ.
I love it.
That is all
Love,
Sister Brown
We had another district Pday at the Bad Bentheim castle.
It was awesome.
Maybe more pics next week?
