The Age of Facebook

Hola amigos,

'Twas a pretty good week. The biggest and weirdest development is that
as of recently we're allowed to use Facebook in this mission. I'm
still not sure what all the possibilities and benefits of the new
change are, but for starters it makes for a pretty good support system
throughout the mission; we're encouraged to get in contact with old
contacts from previous areas, and I've been able to start working with
an investigator and a new convert from old cities I served in. That
being said there's also a lot of time-wasting potential and
opportunities to get in trouble now that we have Facebook. Antimormons
are also pretty busy on social media and we have to watch our step to
avoid getting distracted. But all in all it's a good development and
it's cool to see the Lord's hastening of His work.

We're kind of hitting against a brick wall at the moment in terms of
the work here. We're making some progress with less active members but
we've been having problems getting our investigators to commit
themselves. A couple of them know that the church is good and have
felt the Holy Ghost but let a few little concerns get in the way of
them committing themselves to baptism. Also one is pretty busy with
school right now and the other is in the army and isn't in Berlin all
that often. Hopefully we'll be able to have a breakthrough this week.

Aside from that, we had a service project on Saturday in a city a
little ways outside of Berlin, Eisenhüttenstadt #MormonHelpingHands
😊 Funny how as a missionary there's nothing more exciting than a
Saturday morning service project 😊

That's all I've got for you this week...keep on keeping on!
