Dear Family!

Sorry this is coming a day late.  We had a crazy little adventure to start out our week.  Sunday morning we get a call that one of our Sister Training Leaders is in the hospital and we had to drive up to Chemnitz to stay with the other sister.  So Sister Means and I grabbed a few things to spend what we thought would be just one night, but about 48 hours later we are finally headed back to our little Schwarzenberg.  Sister Miller stayed in the hospital and we worked in a dritt (trio).  The sisters are doing great.  Everyone is fine healthy and happy for things to go back to normal, for about a day.  Ha, and then we will be driving to Dresden for Zone Conference.  Haha, I never thought I would be doing so much driving in Germany.  At first I was a little nervous, but after this adventure, driving all over Chemnitz, and pretty much living out of our car for 3 days, I feel pretty confident driving our little Opel.

This last week has been great!  Guess what?!  2 of our investigators came to church for the first time!!  We were so excited!!!  They had a great experience and we all felt the Spirit so strong!  In Sunday School we watched the Mormon Messages, ''Patterns of Light,'' by Elder Bednar.  I highly recommend watching it!  During sacrament meeting I had to translate for a member from the states.  Ha, that was fun.  I haven't really had to translate since I was in Altona, but naja, and it worked, kinda.

Hmmm, what else happened this week?  Oh, a few little miracles!  We had met an awesome man Sister Mean's first week here.  He had had contact with missionaries a few years ago, and he now he wants to learn more.  We got his phone number and address and tried to set up a joint teach at our church.  Well it ended up being the wrong number, and he was never home.  BUT this week we ran into him!  We got the correct numbers exchanged and we will be meeting with him this week!!

Oy, I am really struggling to focus, so sorry.  These past few days have been so hectic and I am still trying to get my head back on straight.

I hope you all know that I love you so much!!  I am so grateful for your love and prayers.  I know that Heavenly Father hears and answers our prayers.  We have been talking about prayer a lot this week.  Y'all should read Prayer from the Bible Dictionary.  I love the way it explains it.  I have been studying more about praying sincerely and then acting on the answers we receive. Easier said than done, but the Lord always provides a way!

Have a great week!!

All my love!!!
-Sister Turner
