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, "yall talk to black guys?" And I responded, "ya! We talk to everyone!" He then says, "no… I mean like do yall date black guys?" So Sister Jaster starts telling him about how we're missionaries and are basically married to the mish for a year and a half. He then continues to tell us that no one would know and to just give him our numbers. We told him we can't do that but we could do a Bible study with him and that sent him away real quick. Hahaha so funny.


We're teaching about 4 solid people which is sooo exciting. One of them is named Ashley and she was on date to get baptized back in November. The missionaries haven't been able to get in contact with her for a while but we were finally able to! We got super close super fast. She is 21 and works at a hair salon and is the cutest ever!! She told us that she still wants to get baptized so I am super hopeful about that! She is so ready! 


This week I have been thinking about God's plan for me and why I have been called here. I have had so many reminders of why I am here this week and know I am here for a reason. I know that as we trust in God's plan for us we will be blessed. He knows what's best for us and I am forever grateful for that.

Love you guys! Be happy!

  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?

  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...
