Real?, how have I not known about this before?

Received March 19, 2012

So we went to a place called Real this morning to buy our food for the week. It is pretty much like a German version of Walmart. It was awesome. I also got a whole liter of Landliebe chocolate milk! It's awesome!
This week we had a competition in the Zone to see who could give out the most copies of the Book of Mormon in one week. We started out the week pretty well with 3 just on Monday night. One lady even said that we found her right at the perfect moment in her life and said that she would read the book and that we should come by the cafe where she works so we can talk about it. The rest of the week was a little slow. We gave two copies out to people that don't even live in our area. One lives in Tübingen which is not too far away, but the other one took the book with her back to Hamburg...not close. Anyway, we ended up giving out 7 copies this past week, but we will definitely continue giving them out as often as we can. By the way, the winner was the Ulm Sisters who gave out 13. We came in 3rd. It was a fun week.

This week in the Book of Mormon we have been reading the war chapters of Alma. These chapters are often known for being a little bit on the spiritually low side by way of content, but one can learn much from what is written there. In fact, today I read the letters between Moroni and Pahoran. Moroni wrote something that I thought was very interesting. He said, "Behold, could ye suppose that ye could sit upon your thrones, and because of the exceeding goodness of God ye could do nothing and he would deliver you? Behold, if ye have supposed this ye have supposed in vain." He, of course, is talking here about Pahoran not sending aid to both himself (Moroni) and Helaman, but I thought, ya know, it's kinda like watching the people that you have come to know in your life go down a wrong path and not saying anything to them; not helping them when they need your help, whether they know it or not. So my admonition to all this week is to look for a friend and help them out when they might need a little support against all the things that either Satan or just life throws at them. They will thank you.

Well, I'm looking forward to this week. I hope everyone has a great week and that there is plenty of sunshine to go around. Tschüüüüüüüüüüüüüüüüüüüüüüüß!
