Lieber Familie,
Hey! I
made it to Hamburg. Oh. My. Goodness. Hahaha I am so blessed. So I don't
like transfering because packing is the worst... But I am loved so it
all worked out. Magically everything fit in my 3 suitcases, plus I
carried a bag and my backpack was over stuffed. But I managed, wanna
know how? Well we went back to a dritt ''three sisters'' after we sent
off Sister Miesbauer so we all took a suitcase and then I had a strait
shot from Berlin Hauptbahnhof to Hamburg Hauptbahnhof. But it was no
easy task getting there. Anywho, moral of the story, don't take
everything every transfer...
I now live in a place where a Hamburger is a person not in the
sense of ''you are what you eat''. I love it here! I have had so many
tender mercies from Heavenly Father letting me know that it is ok, He is
in charge and I am loved. What made my welcome to Altona complete was
running with Sister Bradshaw in the rain our first morning together. I
love running in the rain!
Oh I was so worried about loving a new place, but I can feel Heavenly
Father expanding my capacity to love. It's kinda cool, I know the love
is not from me, it really is from Heavenly Father. I can look at people
children of God, I know He loves them, and I want them to recognize and
feel His love. Sometimes it is easier than others.
Sister Bradshaw is AWESOME!! She is from Cedar City. She is the
oldest in her family, she is a drummer and can play pretty much anyother
musical instrument and she can tune it with her perfect pitch. In
addition she lets me/ makes me run! We have gone running together every
morning, Sundays of course are the exception. It has been so good, she
really motivates me to be better in every aspect of missionary work.
It's a lot easier to speak in German with your companion when your
companion speaks in German with you. Oh and she is Becca Bradshaw's
cousin, Cam knows her.
Altona reminds me a lot of Lankwitz, I am still in a big city
which means that bahns and buses come pretty regularly and get you most
places you need to be. The people here seem to be a lot friendlier.
Whether they are interested in what I have to say or not, they listen
and they are nice, whaaaa?? I love it! We also challenged one of our
investigators to be baptized and she accepted! We are witing til her
husband gets home so he can be a part of it as well. So excited! Our
focus this transfer is finding families especially young women since we
only have one YW in the ward.
