Sister Addison Hunt, Alpine German Speaking Mission

Crazy to think that I’m halfway done with HMTC! The days are very long but the weeks are super short! Weird to think about being in Germany in 3 weeks… well hopefully Germany haha I still don't know where I’m going but wherever it is I am super excited!  We had our first German TRC! We had it scheduled for Saturday at 1 pm and man that whole day I was sooo nervous! I got all my notes set up and joined the zoom call at 12:59 and anxiously waited and waited and waited. Seemed like I waited for a whole 5 minutes and I was thinking it was probably my nerves but I looked at the time and it actually had been 5 minutes. I called my comp and we waited for 10 more minutes and then left… Our guy didn’t show up! So basically I was nervous all day for nothing haha I guess God was just preparing me for appointments that fall through. All good though because we rescheduled for Monday and it went way better than I was expecting!! We taught a guy named Stefan and the first minute of our conversati...

  Okay, so it feels like I just barely wrote an email! I can’t believe it’s already Wednesday again! This week was awesome! I definitely had way more highs than lows and am feeling good.  My first week of MTC I thought I had learned so much German that my head would explode… And this week I learned probably double that on an already exploded head. In class we have been practicing teaching lessons in german and Sister Peterson and I’s first lesson went terrible. We had to teach for 8 minutes and we were silent for 5 of those 8 minutes. I swear I said every single German word I could think of. It was pretty bad. But that gave us motivation to work even harder and since then our practice lessons have been so much better! Our first German TRC is this Saturday! I am so nervous but we have been preparing this whole week so hopefully it goes good!  I had the coolest experience ever!! In class we started talking about the power of prayer and then we all shared a personal thing th...

Wow… I don’t even know where to start. This past week has been amazing, hard, stressful, fun, and basically all the feelings. Last Tuesday was one of my favorite days ever. I got set apart and then got to go through the temple! I was honestly nervous and scared going in to get set apart because it’s a huge step! I feel like I had been waiting for that day for so long and it was finally there and it didn’t feel real. As soon as I walked in the church all my fears and worries went away and I felt that I was exactly where I needed to be. It was such a good feeling and experience. Right after that I got to go through the temple with my family! I don’t even have the words to describe that experience. The temple is AMAZING!! I gained an even stronger testimony of temples and the covenants we get to make there. The feelings that I felt in there are indescribable. I have never felt the spirit stronger and it just made me feel so happy and comforted. I wish I could go back right now. MTC is a ...
