Week 6 - England MTC

On Monday Morning, I leave for Germany. It's way awesome. This week, I want to expound on something Jordan said in his email last week. I never really thought about this, but in English we say I have repented. But in German, we would say, 'Ich bin Umgekehrt" which translates to I am repented. I love the idea that repentance is a change of state involving hard work and growth. That's cool to me.

I had a cool experience this week. Elder Charles from the Seventy and his wife came to speak to us. They were baptized almost 40 years ago because two missionaries knocked on their door. Sister Charles said, "The best thing about the missionaries that taught us was that they never came in pairs of two. If you come in 2's you're doing it wrong. There should always be a 3rd member that comes with you, and it should be a member of the Godhead. Before you ever say a word, they should feel the power that you carry with you." I think that was powerful. 

One other powerful thing was singing the EFY Medley as missionaries. It reminded me of when we sang it as a ward about two years ago. I flashed back and could feel and hear the voices of the youth of our ward singing it. It was very powerful. I am grateful for the youth of our ward and the FANTASTIC leaders we were brought up by. It was amazing to be a part of that. (:
I love you all. Next Time I email, it will be from Germany and I will have lots of stories of people and experiences. I love you all! (:
