Week 3: Half Way!!


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 conversation I was completely lost. He talked so fast and I just thought to myself well crap. I said a prayer in my heart and asked God for just a little bit of understanding and then something clicked. I was able to pick out words and understand what he was saying. It was AMAZING!! On top of being able to understand what he was saying I felt like I could answer what he was asking. Me and my comp taught him our lesson and had a really good discussion with him and man what a blessing it was! The gift of tongues is real! We’re meeting with him again on Saturday so I’m hoping it goes good! 


This week I have been having a hard time with how to be able to teach people (in a language that I hardly know) the truths and happiness of the gospel. I’m not very good at sharing my feelings in English and German is a whole other story. Through class, our TRC, and the devotional last night I have really learned the importance of teaching with the spirit. We need to trust in that and open our mouths. It’s a scary thing but the spirit has got our back and will justify our words. I am grateful for answered prayers and for the Holy Ghost guiding me in my life! He is there for you and always will be. Trust and don’t be afraid!

Week 25: Cook the Rice

  Servus! I hope you all had an amazing week:)) I had a wild one and it was awesome!! Also, this one's kinda long so sorry bout it.  I had a funny German whoops this week. I have them at least 5 times a day but this one made me laugh. We were at a members house and the last time we were there she gave us some coupons and so I was telling her that we used them to buy some things but instead of saying bought (gekauft) I said getauft which means baptized hahaha guess that's just what's on my mind… anyways kinda funny thought I'd share. We got to get together with our whole mission for a mission conference and it was sooo fun. I am exhausted tho and think I might need a week to recover haha. It started out with a 7-hour train ride straight into street finding. Picture this… 136 missionaries hit the streets in one of the biggest cities in Germany and give out 200+ books of Mormon. Basically coolest thing ever. And your girl gave out her first book of Mormon in Deutsch!!! Let...

Week 39: tracting! And ET?

Image
  Being on a mission is a roller coaster let me tell ya… some days are just the best and others ya not so much but hard things make us stronger if we let them and that is something I am grateful for.  So I basically got told yesterday that I am being ET'd in a week!!! I am so sad about it! I was almost positive I was gonna be transferred but I was expecting to at least finish out the transfer. Anyways I've basically been living here in Austria illegally for about 3 months.. I don't have any visa and they're basically gonna have to sneak me over the border so that's kinda scary… don't know what's gonna happen because I also don't have a German visa and ya it's just a big mess. Pray, I don't get deported! On Thursday we finally had a free afternoon with no appointments, so we decided to stop by some less active members. The first one wasn't there so we wrote him a note and then decided since we were already let into the building that we would t...

Week 11: Life is Good

  Hey y'all!! We had zone conference this week and oh man it was too good. We talked a lot about giving it our all out here on the mission. We only get this experience once and so we need to give it 100%. I loved hearing all of the missionaries talk about their experiences and it made me remotivated to keep working hard and doing my best every day! We also had exchanges this week which was super fun! I got to go to Madison Mississippi for a day! They actually have stores and restaurants and stuff… very different than our small town here in Mendenhall.  Kinda a silly story for y'all… we were walking to a member's house and this boy was walking right behind us and slowly caught up to us and so we said hi and he had a very thick accent so we didn't really know what he was saying. He went a different direction than us and then about a minute later he ran to us and said, "yal...
