He Is Here




He is here.  
Three simple words that say so much. 
He is here.
 He arrived in Germany.
He is here. 
He is safely at the Mission Home. 
He is here. 
He is alive and ready to serve the Lord by sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ with the people of Germany.


Elder Julian Scott Heilmann left for the Frankfurt, Germany mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on July 12, 2021.  He will serve there for the next 23 months.  He spent the last six weeks learning a new language and learning how to serve these people in the Lord's way. 

We have created this blog as a way to share his experiences and pictures to those who want to follow his journey.  Other pictures and updates will be pinned on Olivia's Facebook page.  You can also request to be added to a group email that Elder Heilmann will send out.  

These will be the BEST two years!

Love and Thanks 
Tim and Olivia Heilmann

    I would be honored to be able to be added to Elder Julian Heilmann'S news letters. When we were on our mission I sent letters to his grandma Ogden every week.

Day 1: First Day in Germany

 Elder Heilmann has arrived and is ready to go!  I will be brief in my comments since I included portions of the first email from his Mission President. We are all so excited for Julian....Elder Heilmann...he looks nervous and excited.  Can't wait to hear from him soon.   Reminder: If you want to be included in the group email from Elder Heilmann, let me know.   Dear  Brother & Sister Heilmann ,    We are happy to report that  Elder   Heilmann   arrived safely in the Germany Frankfurt Mission. Sister Hammon and I met all the new missionaries at the Frankfurt airport, and your  son   looked good and was happy to be here. We are always grateful to have new missionaries come into the field as they bring a sense of excitement and a spirit of great faith. It inspires and energizes the whole mission.  Later, Sister Hammon and I both spent some time getting acquainted with your  son . I also took a few min...

November 11th: Herne, Herne, Herne...You'll Thank Me Later

Daily Doings Elder Heilmann cut his own hair!  He bought the clippers and did it.  It's a good buzz.  He feels pretty proud of himself. I am too. What a cutie! The Elders were planning on going to a museum today, but Elder Heilmann had a bad headache, so he couldn't make it. He seems down in the dumps, actually, but he says it's just his headache. So, hopefully, that's all it is.  They did end up going on a hike, though, before the headache set it. They went to Neroberg . Elder Heilmann says that this part of Germany is very Roman, hence the name of the hiking area; Nero's Mountain.  It was a foggy hike.  It really reminded him of Washington fog.  In fact, most of the weather he has experienced has been very much like the Pacific NW.  Not my personal favorite weather pattern, and apparently not the German's favorite either.  They call these conditions nass Wetter.  It literally means 'wet weather' but has the negative connotation of bein...

November 18th: Change. Change Always Weakens Me

Daily Doings I honestly wished that I could say that this week all was well and that Elder Heilmann has adjusted and is doing better. Unfortunately, that was not the case today. I saw my sweet son, and his light was definitely dimmed. He just got transferred to a new area, so he has a new companion, a new town, a new Ward, new apartment. Everything is new.  He just has never been great at handling change. It just takes time to adjust. He knows he will, in time. I just pray that not every transfer is this traumatizing.  Elder Heilmann expressed that his transfer experience was painful. He had a lot of time alone as he tried to get around Germany. He had two giant suitcases and had to walk up multiple sets of stairs to get to the rails. Elder Chamberlain's new companion showed up, and the two of them had to leave for their area. Elder Heilmann had to continue on his own to Krefeld, where his new companion would meet him at the train station and take him to his new apartment....
