Es Kommt... 3 March 2014

Es Kommt.  Or it comes is what it means in German.  I feel like that is how this week has gone all in all it has been rather lousy but for some odd reason I feel good about it.  So it started off with a split yes I had been here for 5 days and had a split with my Zone Leader.  It was really cool he was actually in the MTC with Josie his name is elder Henderson.  He is way cool and we did a ton of contacting but here comes the story we went to bed that night after doing planning for the next day and everything was good.  All of the sudden in the middle of the night I hear this "Elder Nilson..." I wake up and Elder Henderson (or what was left of him) is lying on the floor as pale as a ghost calling out my name. Yes he was also convulsing. So apparently he had gotten up to use the bathroom when all of the sudden he was attack by the demons hoards, which decided to take up residence in his large and small intestines.  He was just laying on the ground dying.  SO was I slightly frightened? NOT EVEN A LITTLE BIT! I swiftly recalled all of my medical training (thanks Mom) and like an African witch doctor created a potion and healed him! BAM! So in short I would like to take a little bit of time to tell my mother thank you! Mom when you thought I was just laying there sick I was actually learning how to tenderly heal sick young lads.  Who knows maybe I will be a doctor!  So after miraculously healing Elder Henderson with pepto, ibuprofen, and Gatorade! (Electrolytes, always use electrolytes.)  I returned with him to Heidelberg where I met up again with Elder Emery! Way pumped! 

Well most people would say wow that would be a hard week... NOT FOR A MISSIONARY!!!! Some how my German has gotten worse, literally can't understand a single word its rough but we press on. WEITER! (onward) Es kommt.  So as I said we have been doing a lot of contacting and literally No one wants to listen and all the people that do want to listen are INSANE.  They are atheist or straight anti! And they are crazy but it is rather comical. We got approach by Zeuge Jehovah (Jehovah Witness) and Elder Emery just lit this dude up! IT WAS SO COOL!!!!!!!!!!! I FELT LIKE I WAS WATCHING JESUS TAKE ON THE PHARISEES!!!!! so tight! He just walked away like a wounded dog, tail between his leg and everything. I felt like a champion. EVEN though I didn't say a word (because i literally didn't understand anything only that Elder Emery was raging! I have the best comp Ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) haha the Gospel is so cool.  So last but not least we met with this kid named Samuel. Well Samuel he is a cool dude BUT he is a 7th day Adventist, a religion I had never even heard about before I came to Germany and he lives the and KNOWS the bible. So yes we had fun bible bashing and finally it got to the point where we couldn't take it anymore and the BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

1st Vision. nuff said.  There is something about quoting the prophet that will literally cast out any bad feeling it is truly incredible! I challenge everyone to memorize the passage and quote it often!  Well I love you family and miss you like crazy!!!! VIEL SPAß! Ich Liebe Dich!!!
