Teaching English
Each Tuesday evening we teach an English class. After our 45 minute lesson, we share a short gospel message, our testimonies and we close with prayer. These lessons are of course provided free and our goal is to attract investigators and less active members as well as providing this service.
Yang's Baptism
We were privileged to attend the baptism of Yang - a young Chinese student. It was a unique baptism in that it was in mostly English with a segment in Chinese and even a segment in Spanish also translated into English and the hymns were all sung in German. Yang was so happy to make this important step in his eternal progression. He is a bright young man and a wonderful addition to our multi-cultural ward!
New Puppy
Our friend Susan has a darling new puppy - Marshmellow ( Mellow). We had to make a visit to welcome this new addition. We always enjoy seeing Susan and having an opportunity to get to know her better.
Luncheon
On the last day of April, we invited our friend Sabina and the Sister Missionaries over for lunch.
May Day Ward Picnic
May first is a holiday in Germany (much like our Labor Day).
Our ward had a picnic at a park. The weather was nice and we enjoyed socializing, games and sharing our picnics .
Buddy Hornbach Bear
We spotted this bear in front of a large construction supply store. He was so cute we had to stop and take some pictures.
I'll bet that you're enjoying teaching English - they are lucky that they can go have free lessons. What an interesting baptism Yang had, to be in such a variety of languages! I remember as a little kid, I loved May Day. Wish we would celebrate it here. You guys find the most amazing bears!
