Früling! Spring!!

The sun is coming out and the sky is staying blue, birds are singing and people are ready and waiting to hear the gospel over here in our little part of the vineyard. Did I tell you Im staying with Sister Forsyth and im THRILLED. We are teaching so many incredible people and finding new people to teach everyday! Its really great having this new focus and motivation to put in our very best, to talk to as many people as we can and follow the spirit. I feel so blessed to get to know these people here and to see miracles every day!
Last week we had stake conference and had 14 of us on the train together, 3 of them being investigators! We had a great time and Hany and Christian really enjoyed it! Hany is making great progress, he reads the Book of Mormon on the train and is in 2 Nephi, he said 'Ich braugh dich alle zeit' ('I need the every hour') has been stuck in his head for the past 4 days! He is so great! He said his first prayer in German the other day, (obviously normally prays in Arabic) and it was beautiful, he thanked Heavenly Father for the light he has in his life and asked God to help him open his heart and to have more light. To learn more. he is praying and working right now to get a self confirmation about the restoration and of the prophet Joseph Smith. The spirit was strong after his prayer and we are excited to show him the scriptures in the Bible to reconfirm that the restoration was referred to in the bible. He is such a spiritual guy and so Christlike. He is a great friend to everyone he meets and I just feel so honored to get to be the missionary to teach him, I feel like he is my brother and its these relationships we are building that I know go into eternity. 
Yesterday was probably one of the bigger miracles, we went to bahnhof and met Hany and Manfred to take the train to church and as we were sitting on the train we got a call from Christian, who we have only taught 3 times, he came to stake conference last week and we hadnt had contact with him all week, but Sunday morning on the train we got a call from him saying he wanted to come to church and that he would drive to Eisenhüttenstadt to meet us there. We later found out he had just finished working the night shift but still came to CHURCH! What a great sign of faith....we had a separate class with Sister Forsyth and I and Hany and Christian and taught about Faith, Repentance, and Baptism and etc...it was a great lesson and then Hany proceeded to tell Christian about the Word of Wisdom (which Christian hadnt been taught yet) but by the end of it Christian said he wanted to stop and Hany gave testimony 'das es is ganz einfach' its so simple, to quit and gave hima  lot of encouragement. It was great watching our golden intestigator teach our other investigator to be more like Christ...not only be like Christ but live a principle of the restored gospel. WOW! I feel so honored to get to be the missionary to be here! Did I already say that? Its the truth. There is nothing more incredible then seeing these people change. . . talking with our new member Schwester Zimmer about the temple and seeing her excitement and talking to the branch president with her about getting a recommend. These are experiences that I will never forget. I love being a missionary and am loving this area, thank you so much for your love, and prayers and Im so happy everyone is heathy and doing well! Have a great week!
Liebe, Sister Rasmussen
