Week 9: The one where we tried to outrun a cop...

 Hello everybody:)) I hope Easter was amazing for y'all. I'm so grateful for our savior and his resurrection. It's so comforting to know that because he rose we can rise again too. We can rise from our shortcomings, our mistakes, our failures, our inadequacies… all because of him. I LOVE JESUS CHRIST.


Conference was amazing. If you haven't watched it go watch it. I went in with three questions that I wanted guidance on and it was almost if my questions were the topic of three of the speakers. Amazing!! God is too good. 


Crazy story time… so Sister Jaster and I have been going to this lake that we found and no one is ever there so we were thinking that it's closed but we found a way to hike in and it's not blocked off or anything so we've been going there a lot. On Tuesday we hiked down there and then it started pouring so we ran back to the car. When we got in, this truck was driving past and it slowed down and stopped right next to our car. We were in the middle of nowhere and got super scared so we drove off super quick… the truck turned around and started following us!! We drove to the end of the road and turned around. We were now at a community college campus and felt safer because we were somewhere public. We went to turn around out of the parking lot but the truck had blocked the way to get out. We decided just to pull up next to the truck because it was the only way out and oh my goodness it was a cop!! So we basically were trying to outrun a cop… whoops! Luckily he was super nice and we told him we were just scared and didn't know he was a cop and he just laughed at us and then told us the lake is closed and we can't go down there anymore… sad. But blessings that he was so nice. 


We got to go to a nondenominational church this week and it was interesting, to say the least. We also got to teach someone that had a 36 page PowerPoint on anti stuff. That was super fun… it was super hard because every time we'd try to answer her question or just talk about misconceptions she wouldn't listen and would just look at her PowerPoint thinking of the next thing she was gonna throw at us. A learning experience for sure. These experiences made me extremely grateful for the gospel of Jesus Christ and the truths we have from it. I know without a doubt that our church is the true church and nothing anyone says can ever change that. 


This week look for opportunities to share your testimony with others, even if it's just by your example. People need the message of the gospel, it is how we find true happiness! I love you all<3

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...
