Happy Pioneer day this week!!! Can you believe I was on a plane last
Pioneer Day? Hahaha, oh that was a
day I will not forget. We left
Provo on Tuesday and got to Berlin on Wednesday. As soon as we got to the church they took us out ''Finding.''
I felt like the Elder in “The Best
Two Years.'' “What language was
she speaking? Oh, I'm in trouble. That ain't no language they taught me in
the MTC.'' Ha I felt that way again 5 weeks ago when I got to Swarzenberg
and a lot of people speak Erzgebirgisch.
It's like someone learning English and then taking them down to Georgia
listening to people with a thick southern accent. I can't believe how
much has changed in just one year. Also I can tell you exactly where I was and what I was doing
at any moment for the last year.
For
now I'll just tell you about
this week. Thank you for your
prayers! On Tuesday we were
klinging doors after going by on some contacts. One of the first doors
we klinged was a woman who let us up. We get to her door. She doesn't
wait to hear who we are. She said, “Come in and sit down, then
we'll figure out who you are.” We
had a great lesson with her and her husband. Despite many health
problems they
are so faithful and full of hope. We
will be meeting with them again this week. I believe that was the first
time that anyone has just let us
in when they didn't previously have some contact with missionaries. We
said a prayer of gratitude after. The Lord really does have people
prepared to welcome us in and hear our message.
We were also able to get one of our
investigators to come to the Relief Society activity this week. She had a great time and loved how happy
the sisters are. We are trying to
help her realize that the gospel blesses and strengthens us. And we can have joy in this life in
spite of trials because of our faith. It is so cool seeing her faith and trust in the Lord develop
and grow. Just like Dad's pumpkins
;)
The
weather has been really warm
this week. And suddenly this
morning it is hazing and might rain. Speaking of haze. How is the
Hayes Family doing? It looks like you all had a great time in Texas!
Well I hope you have a great week!
I love you all!!!!! Thank you for
your prayers and faith!!
