So here is my new companion. 
 
Her name is Sister Jensen.  She is from Rochester New York and is barely 19.  She is wonderful and I love serving with her.  She is just so excited to work.  She wants to share the gospel with every single person that we see. 
 
She is very brave when we talk with people on the street and has great ideas about how we can find new investigators.  She won't sit next to me on the bahns and always looks for an empty seat next to someone so she can start up a conversation with them.  Then I find someone else to sit by and we do twice the missionary work :)

The very first question she asked me as we were getting on the train was what the plan was to do missionary work as we drove.  :)  We sat in a 4 seater and soon a man came and sat by us and that was that.  We talked for the next hour with him about the gospel.  
When we start these converstaions we never start out with the church. We  dont use our street contacting or dooring approaches.  No! We just sit down and talk with people.  The cool part is that it ALWAYS comes right back to the gospel.  It always amazes me how quick it happens.

"hey we are new in Leipzig and are wondering if there is anything that we should see while we are here." 
"You should see the zoo and the denkmal and Thomas Kirche.  What are you doing in Leipzig?"

"hey I am learning german can you tell me what _________ means?"
"yeah of course!  It means_________ . Are you studying here in Leipzig?"

so there's that.  just sharing the gospel.  in german.  

love you all
love,
Sister Brown
