So, after receiving last week's story about the man in the ACDC hat, I wanted to specifically ask her if she had any more fun, scary or amazing experiences she wanted to share. She most certainly did not disappoint. It is hard to believe the sweet girl of mine has been in Germany five weeks tomorrow. She will have now finished the 11th week on her mission!
I am so proud of her...and I miss her. Every. Single. Day.
Have a fabulous week! ❤️
Mom--
So I have something freaky...but awesome!!
So I saw this big (like muscle big not fat) black guy and another more normal, but still big, black guy standing there. I smiled at them and they made the mistake of smiling back! So I went to talk to them and the one really big guy found out I was from a church and he totally started straight up yelling at me! Like yelling mom!! haha ...and he was saying how church is what is wrong with the world and that's why no one gets along and all this other stuff... and how people just need to forget about God. I was kinda scared cause well that's scary ya know?? I just got this feeling to ask if I could share my testimony... so I asked, very nicely I might add, "is it okay with you if I just share my testimony without you interrupting?" He said yes and folded his arms. So I did! I just shared my testimony about how important church is and why...and that god loves him so much and doesn't want him to feel that way and that he is one of gods children. Then I asked him to please take the Book of Mormon and he said, calmly now I might add (and not to brag but I think he felt the spirit) he said that he didn't want it because he knew he wouldn't read it. I said I just want you to take it, and he asked why. I told him that maybe in ten or more years he would find the book again and remember me and decide to finally read it...and that God would still be waiting for him... and he just smiled and said "Wow, I'll take it". Then he said thank you and he had to go. Then his friend came up to me and said thank you and asked for a book and said he would change his mind for me and they left...and that was awesome!
