Elder Aaron S. Baxter LDS Mission : Another Baptismal Date!

This week began with a split with a brand new missionary who just got to Germany. Together we had a member appointment, where I ended up completely teaching the lesson and then we did some finding time on the streets of Paderborn. It was an interesting experience to be with a missionary that was brand new.

Our meetings with Brother Seeger and his friend, Herr Vogt, have continued to go well, and this week we were able to set a baptismal date for the 14th of March! We were not totally sure how that would turn out, because the man always falls asleep during our lessons, and it seemed like he was set on getting baptised around Easter, but it all worked out!

For Karneval, in the morning we ended up doing some insulation work for service at a Lutheran church. We were not sure what we were getting ourselves into heading over, so we just came in our normal white shirt and tie attire. They had stuff we could wear over our missionary attire, and it ended up being a good experience. We then had an apartment cleaning check, and right when that was going on there was a Karneval parade right across the street. There were a lot of people dressed up in costumes. We then made our way over to a party put on by our branch in Paderborn, which was also fun.

To end the week we were able to meet with the Branch President and his family, and teach them the first missionary lesson, the Restoration. It was a really good experience, and it is always fun to be with that family.

Ultron had some P-day fun, too.

Until next week!
