Solothurn - Week 4

Hello Family and Friends,

I am currently writing to you in the train to visit the Matterhorn!! How cool is that? I am way excited. We got on a train at 6.22 to make it down there.

So this week has been seemingly spectacular. Let me give you the rundown. So on Tuesday, we had an Austausch and I got to work with Elder Seidl. It was way too much fun, we had a great time together. We stayed up until 2 in the morning telling stories from the MTC and from our missions. We had an awesome time together. I really like Elder Seidl.

On Wednesday, Elder Seidl and I rode to Basel because I had to play the organ at a funeral. It went well I guess, but it was honestly like a second PDay which was weird. After that we Tausched back and Elder Harradine and I taught a new family named M. They were so cool and we had a really good time getting to know them and setting up some good expectations and getting a return appointment. They are friends from some members. So that was really good.

On Thursday, we had an appointment with our ward mission leader in the morning. They always feed us pretty good to start off the day. Then we had an appointment with an Italian member who made us cake and we watched the Restoration with him. Then we had another appointment with Emmanuel, who has been a member for about 2 years now and is so solid in the gospel. He is really just awesome. That was really cool actually. Because it was Thursday night, which is the day before Karfreitag, we talked about the garden of Gethsemane with him and the Spirit was just really really powerful. It was so thick you could almost touch it.

On Friday, we went golfing with A and the family R. They are honestly the greatest family ever. The type that are special people who could potentially become the Bishops and Stake Presidents, but just need to accept the gospel first. We are so so so close to getting them to become new investigators. They even gave us a referral this week. So they are pretty close to getting to that point. We would just like it to come from a member rather than us at first. So, yeah we went GOLFING. I played so bad haha. I shot like a 45 or something. But it was great to be with them and realize that I actually can still swing a golf club. I have videos, but I will spare you all the pain of my horrible form. Hahaha. That night, we ate with their family.

On Saturday, we did our weekly planning, and taught M and his family. They are actually making really good progress and are great to work with. We are trying to coordinate with missionaries in Ethiopia to help the family understand better and make faster progress.

Sunday was also really good. We got a lot of candy from members, and had a great member appointment. The daughter brought her non member boyfriend who is from Ludwigsburg and it was fun to talk to him and actually fully understand someone. Hahah. No I'm kidding, the Swiss German is actually coming along quite well, I can understand a lot better than at first.

So yup, things are great. I am loving Switzerland for the short time I have here. Elder Harradine and I are loving life and doing great work together. Thanks for all your prayers. Have a great week!

Bis zum nächsten Mal!
