Week 8: Good thing I love rain!






 Hiiii!!!! I hope everyone had such a good week:)) 

On Tuesday we had crazy weather and a full day of lessons that got cancelled because of it.. sad. But I love the rain and it was coming down that day so of course I made Sister Jaster go and play in it with me. We definitely got soaked but it was way fun. Wednesday, it was also super rainy but we still went to our lessons. In one of them the rain was coming down so hard and the guy had a tin roof which made it super hard to hear each other and we had to like yell for them to hear us. I said a silent prayer for the rain to die down a little so we could hear each other and right as I said amen the rain slowly came to a stop. It was amazing and really showed me that God listens to my prayers. I love little reminders like that.


We are teaching a guy named Mike, I mentioned him in my last email and he is the sweetest guy. He has been taught by the missionaries for quite some time now and has been on date and then off and just very back and forth with getting baptized. We taught him again this week and had a really good discussion about some things that were holding him back. He said he is scared because he wants to be able to keep all the commandments when he gets baptized but is nervous if he makes a mistake. We discussed the atonement and how everyone makes mistakes but through it we can repent and be clean again. He is so ready and decided to get back on date! I set my first baptismal date, wahoo! It is on May 22nd so a ways away but I'm so excited for him!


At church yesterday I was missing my family. I was looking around at the families around me and just thinking about my family at home. A little girl in our branch walked over to where we were sitting and gave me a little drawing with a heart on it and said, "I drawed this for you." And then came and sat right next to me. Sooo cute and I again felt God's hand right there to pick me back up. 


I'm so grateful to be here and to be able to represent Jesus Christ everyday. He truly is a blessing in my life and I know without a doubt that he is the reason I have the strength to be out here on a mission. I seriously couldn't do anything without him.

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...
