Week 4: Ich Liebe Das Buch Mormon

 Today is my month mark of being a missionary! So wild! 


Yesterday I got to meet up with some of my district. It was so weird to see them in person after 4 weeks of only seeing them through a screen. We played lots of games and it was so fun to get to know them better! 


Stefan is the coolest. He’s the guy that we have been teaching in German and this week we wanted to challenge him to start reading in the Book of Mormon. We decided we’d teach him a little bit about Joseph Smith. As we were teaching him we got to the part where Jesus and Heavenly Father appeared to Joseph in the Sacred Grove. At this point of the lesson Stefan threw his glasses off his face and goes, “ WOOOOAAH das ist wie ein UFO!!” In English that means that is like a UFO! My comp and I just started giggling a little bit and really didn’t know what to say to that. It was so funny. At the end of the lesson he told us that he had already started the Book of Mormon and is in chapter 3 of 1 Nephi which is so awesome!


This week we have been learning lots about the Book of Mormon. The Book of Mormon is so amazing and there is so much power in it. We did an activity in class where we all wrote down challenging questions and every single question we found like 4 scriptures that answered them... amazing! The Book of Mormon is full of answers. My testimony of the Book of Mormon has grown so much this week and I am forever grateful for the guidance and peace it brings me. This week I challenge you to try and read it and make it a habit of reading it every day. I promise you blessings will come.


I’m super grateful to be a missionary! Have a great week and read your scriptures!

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...
