Liebe Family,
Well, I would say judging by the
fireworks going off around 11:30 last night, followed by cars honking and
people cheering & blowing horns, also knowing that Germans LOVE their quiet
hours and would not normally make so much noise, I think it is safe to say that
Germany won the World Cup. Whoooooo!!!!
Anyway,
this week has been fun. Ha,
no worries. I shower frequently. In fact sometimes 2 or 3 times a day!
I told Sis Sadler that we are getting
really good at multi-tasking Morgensport and showering at the same time
as we
run in the morning. Ha, she didn't
think it was funny. The weather
has been a little crazy this past week. On Friday we went from really
hot weather and the bus
station, to drowning in shower/thunder/lightening storm when we got off
the bus
at our stop. Dad, I sing your song
anytime I get a little worried, ''Thunder don't scare me, no more'' ;)
It has been an adventure for sure. Side note, umbrellas do not really
help
when the rain is coming at you horizontally. We don't experience crazy
weather like Lindsey does that
often, so it was fun.
Yesterday
I gave a talk in
Sacrament Meeting. I feel like
since I got here it has been a little bit of the Sister Turner Show. :/
my
first week I introduced myself and bore my testimony, the next week they
had me
play a musical number (by the way, the youth in this Branch are soooo
musically
talented, it is awesome!), then Fast and Testimony meeting was last
week. I am happy to help and serve in any way
I can. I also realized that giving
a talk in my mother language would be so easy. (Ha we shall see if I
still feel that way in 5 months...) Naja, I know the Lord helps us
overcome
our fears and weaknesses as we trust him. Ether 12:27
We are struggling finding new
investigators. We meet some great
people, but mostly elderly people who say something along the lines of: you two
are so sweet doing what you are doing, I like what you have to say, but I am
too old to change and don't want to. Have a great day.
BAAAA the point of our message is
that you can change. Through the
Gospel of Christ you can be healed and start over. You have REAL and lasting joy and one day live with God, our Father
in Heaven again!
Please pray that we will be lead to
those who are ready receive us as representatives of Christ and are prepared to
take steps towards repentance and baptism so that they can receive the gift of
the Holy Ghost.
We
are also prepping for some big
changes within the next transfer. Remember that big mass of missionaries
that
all left on missions at the same time? Well, they are all headed home.
So many that we have to do a half transfer. A lot of areas will be
closed. We will be receiving a really big group
of new missionaries in September though. And....Elder Bednar is
coming!!! We are so excited!
Well I hope you all have a
fantastic week!! Thank you for the letters, love and prayers.
All my love!!!! :D
