I have received direct Witness

Its almost 7:00 p.m. here in Erlangen. Had to have a bit of a different schedule this p-day due to an unexpected service project... and I am pretty exhausted. But what the heck, you're pretty much always tired on the mission anyway, so no biggie.
It was another slow week for us here in Erlangen, but we've made some serious progress and have a great week ahead of us.
As if by some divine miracle (actually it was by divine miracle), we were finally able to reach Walter Ganther after three weeks of no contact! To our surprise he was still open to our message. We were able to recommit him to reading in the book of Mormon and made out an appointment for this Wednesday. My certainty that Walter will be the next baptism in Erlangen remains, against all odds, and if all goes according to plan, and if he is ready, we will have set a baptism date with Walter by the end of the week. Its quite the nerve racking thing to try to baptize a newly converted Jehova's Witness, let alone teach him, because when you do that, you are up against an entire congregation who will do everything they can to stop you. Needless to say, we, and more importantly Walter, need your prayers now more than ever.
got some other emails to write this week, so to close this rather short and lame email this week I just want to share a pretty awesome spiritual experience we had today. For p-day today our district spent most of the day in Herzogen-Aurach, a dorf in our area, because they have epic Puma and Adidas outlet, and Elder Anderson wanted to go there and check it out for his birthday. We all pitched in 5 Euro and helped him buy some sweet shoes from the Puma outlet and ate at this sweet Mexican restaurant. Anyway, as we walked back to the middle of town where our Bus stop was, we started talking about Joseph Smith, and how there was absolutely no possible way that he couldn't be a prophet. The spirit kinda just hit us all at the same moment, then Elder Achtmann suddenly started faintly singing "Praise to the Man," almost as a joke, until we all joined him and walked down the street singing that amazing hymn like it was nothin'. And yes, I know that sounds totally doofus-missionary like, but it was a really powerful experience to walk down the street bearing our testimony of the Prophet Joseph in unison like that. Because of this silly but powerful experience, my testimony of what I'm doing here is reinvigorated ten-fold, and I can honestly say, once again, that I have received direct witness from God that Joseph Smith was his prophet, and that means that what I'm doing here is more important, and more incredible than anything else I could possibly be doing at this time. How lucky am I?!

Love you all! Bis nächste woche!

Alles Gute!

Ihr geliebter Sohn, Bruder, und Freund,
