Dear Family,
Haha, I still cannot believe it has
been only week. We have been ALL
over. The week started out in
Chemnitz. Finally everyone is out
of the hospital and back in our areas. We came home and had a ''normal'' day and Thursday we jumped
back on the Autobahn and headed for Dresden for a mult-zone conference.
Thank
you again Mom and Dad for the
piano lessons. I keep getting
called on for surprise musical numbers and playing the hymns for
meetings. Wow! The messages we heard were so inspiring. We learned a
lot about asking and
learning by faith. As a mission we have specific scriptures
Präsident Kosak asked us to memorize. We talked a lot about how
powerful the Book of Mormon is for
us as individuals and for those we teach. Sister Kosak gave a great
lesson on feasting on the words of
Christ. And then we had a few
lessons from missionaries on “How to Be a Trainer”, “How to be a
District Leader”, “How to be a Zone Leader”, and
“How to be a Sister Training Leader.” All I could think was “How to
train your Dragon.” The lessons were really good.
It’s
kind of crazy. With the age change 2 years ago, now we
have so many ''old'' missionaries that just went home and with last
transfer. And this transfer we are receiving so
many new missionaries. Every
sister who is not a Sister Training Leader is training or being trained.
Crazy! So our mission leaders are teaching the next generation of
mission leaders. Präsident called
it training your successor.
Speaking of transfers, Sister Means
and I will be staying together here is Schwarzenberg and this transfer will be
7 weeks instead of 6. Oh and we
will have Elders back in Schwarzenberg again. We are stoked to stay together
and keep working hard. Even though
we felt that we weren't able to get much done, when we looked back on the week
and our goals, we accomplished a lot.
When we were in Chemnitz we were
still able to have a lesson with an investigator on the phone and a contact had
interest and called us. We were
able to have a joint teach with them at the church and they stayed for the ward
sport activity after and had a great time! Also, the whole ward, with the exception of Schwester Dike,
ganged up against me and my comp in an attempt to soak us with water balloons. Haha, the ward either loves us or wants
us out. Through all the chaos this
week there have been a lot of moments to smile about. I love this area and I am so blessed and
grateful to be here.
Sister Means and I had a few ''ah
ha'' moments this week. One of
them came when we were evaluating a lesson with a new investigator. In short, we are learning to really rely
on each other and the Spirit. We
have been so very blessed and protected this week.
Thank you for your love, prayers
and support! Have a fantastic
week! And thank you for the
package! We have been enjoying the
goodies and the P90X work out!
All my love!!!
-Sister Turner
