Lieber Familie!
We got our first snow
fall this week, it looks like you have been getting a bit of snow too.
Ah, I miss Utah snow- dry snow. Here it has been more of a
sleety-frozen-rain-snow haha lot of fun! So yesterday was the 2nd Advent
and the King of Thailand's Birthday, and the 5th or the 6th (I don't
remember which) was the Nikolaustag. 2nd Advent means that you can light
2 candles on this candle wreath thing we have, you can probably google
it and understand it better than I do.. We celebrated the King of
Thailand's birthday with the Hausch family- it was awesome because
family is so big in that culture it was easy to talk to people there
about how the gospel blesses families. Romy did Sis Hansen's make up,
haha remember that she is only 8, haha it looked great! Ok and
Nikolaustag is when good little boys and girls put their freshly
polished boots outside their door and Nikolaus puts a treat or a small
toy in their boot. Ya we found out about that one the morning of when
Sis Miesbauer and I got up to go running and saw that our neighbors all
had treats in their boots, unfortunately we did not put our boots
outside so Nikolaus forgot to visit us.. Oh and we had the ward
Christmas party on Friday. They have been planning this party in almost
every ward council since I got here. And it was awesome! It was so good
seeing the ward all get together loving and welcoming to everyone making
our investigators feel loved and invloved. They food was fantastic, but
they had way too much and kept trying to give more and more to the
missionaries. Big success.
Today we are headed to a Weihnachtmarkt! I am so excited!!
In
district meetings we have been talking about how we can have better
district unity. Each week we will all pray for a specific companionship
and at the end of the week they will share miracles they have seen.
During our last weekly planning Sis Hansen and I were talking about our
goals for the upcoming week and reviewing goals and actuals from the
previous week. Sis Hansen has a bf serving in Mexico and had shared some
of their goals. We thought about it and said why can't we have ''Mexico
numbers''? We believe we have the faith to see real growth here in
Germany. Heavenly Father loves all of His children and He has prepared
people here in Lankwitz. We prayed about our goals and then started
making phone calls. Everything has been falling into place. We are
working to develop our faith to see these miracles. We read in the Bible
Dictionary about Fear and it says that fear is something unworthy of a
child of God. And fear and faith can not exist in the same body. And why
should we fear? We're on the Lord's side :D
I love you all! I can feel your love and prayers strengthen me. I hope you have a great week!
