Lieber Familie,
 
First transfer finished. CRAzzzy. I will be staying in Lankwitz with Sis Lartey. We are so excited!! We are really trying to get the members involved with the work. For every lesson we plan we try to have a member present. This week we had a tausch (exchange) with the Dahlem Sisters (Norton and Schrade) and the Sister Training Leaders (Walker and Babbit). Shout out to Scott Clark from Sis Babbit, from Morgan, UT.
 
So excited for one family that we are working with. On Monday we brought one of our ward missionaries to the lesson and she was getting the girls so excited to come to church! The girls are so stoked to have friends with similar standards, I am beginning to understand how important the different organizations in the church are such as Primary, YM/YW, RS etc for supporting and strengthening each other. I played the piano again in Primary, love it! German speaking children are soooo cute!
 
In my personal study I have been realizing more and more how merciful and loving our Father in Heaven is. I was reading in Jacob 6 and laughed out loud when Jacob describes our two options a) the Kingdom of God or b) a lake of fire and brimstone and endless torment. It's our choice, it only affects our eternity and he says ''oh be wise; what can I say more?''

The scriptures put it so simply, and yet every day is a struggle to show God my love by being obedient, trusting Him and not getting discouraged. I am so grateful for the Atonement so I have hope and the means to progress and become better each day.

I was thinking about you Dad as I was eating blueberry yogurt and reading Jacob 6:12. You told me that a few years ago when I moved out. I miss and love you.
 
Love you all!!
