Guten Tag!
Well, we finally got some snow here. This whole winter was freezing cold, but with no real snow. In honor of the occasion, here's a song Sister Thaden and I wrote last year (to be sung to the tune of 'Walking in a Winter Wonderland')
Klingels* ring, no one answers
In the street, awkward glances,
With three pairs of tights, we're still freezing tonight,
tracting in a winter wonderland.
(chorus:)
By the Bahnhof** we can have a Street Preach
Singing songs until the sun goes down.
Hopefully we'll find some people to teach,
at least until the J Dubbs*** come around...
(*Doorbells, **Train Station, ***Jehova's Witnesses (JW))
Something really cool happened this week. First, I have to tell the backstory. We were contacting in some Student Housing about 5 weeks ago, and we talked to a 21-year-old guy who had just barely heard something about our church on TV. He had a few questions, but for the most part he was just being really flirty with us and sort of making fun of us. We gave him a card and a Book of Mormon anyway, not thinking anything would come of it. But then, last week, he called us up randomly, and asked if we could meet up and tell him more about our church! It was really cool. We still didn't know what to expect, but we met with him and he was totally different. He was really serious, and said that he wanted to learn more about us, because he was looking for the truth. Since then, we've taught him twice and he came to a ward activity and loves the ward already! We're going to pass him off to the Elders, though, since he's a single man. But it was really cool to see that you never know how even a short contact with the church can affect someone!
That was probably the best story from this week. We've been running around like crazy! It's such a good time of my mission right now.
Sister Bognar says hello!
All the best,
Sister Jensen
