Well last week I left out some key facts in my email.

One was that I saved a hedgehog’s life. It was caught in a rope and I was able to cut it lose and then give it water. It was awesome haha.

The second is we had a Bible VS. Book of Mormon bash with a full on religion. We got let in tracting and we walked to the back yard and there was like 13 people and they where having church. Which consisted of smoking pipes and listening to slow music and I don’t know what else. They asked us about our religion and then started to just tear us apart. They were saying a lot of things against the Book of Mormon and trying to trap us. So we ended up bearing hard-core testimony and then they ended up softening and we were able to give them 4 Books. So we turned the tables on them. One even said he was going to read it.

So this week has been good. 

The week started with us meeting with this guy that wanted to learn about our church... he didn’t say at first why but in the middle of our programs he slips out the fact that he is a teacher and wants to teach his students about our church and that is after we have answered a ton of questions. So we said well can we have someone be there to make sure you teach correct info and he said, “no it’s not allowed.” So he scammed us and hopefully he taught good things about us but it was super weird and really crazy. Then later in the week we had a really cool thing happen. A couple weeks ago I talked about two girls we found that won’t talk to us anymore. Well we went back to see if they were home and they weren’t. So we decided to tract the whole building. We come to one of the last doors and a guy answers. He ends up being the person that let us in when we found the other girls two weeks earlier. He said that when he saw us he said that if we ever knocked on his door he would let us in... So he let us in and we taught him. It ended up that he is the coolest guy ever and wants us to come back and teach more. He said that we can come back only if we don’t try to convince him that our church is true... which I am fine with because he is going to do that to himself. So we planned to go back a couple weeks later. He is going to Germany so we can’t meet for a couple weeks sadly but it was still super awesome. 

This week finished off with us watching the celebration of the Freiberg Germany temple being rededicated. We got to watch President Uchtdorf speak and then go down and high five and kiss and give stones and hugs to all the kids from countries around Germany. The coolest part was that Bence was there and he got to see him and meet him!!! A kid I baptized got to see President Uchtdorf!!!!!! Probably the coolest thing I have ever heard! I was pumped!!!

The next day they broadcasted the rededication and we were able to watch that. It was really cool to see and the spirit was really strong. I miss the temple so much and I loved feeling the spirit that another one is being added again to the world. It’s a big deal here because that is now the closest temple to the members here and they can start going!!

Well that’s all for this week. I love you all so much and I am so grateful for your prayers. I hope you all have a great week.

Love, Elder Ure
