Week 13: Jesus is in Alabama?

 Today marks my 3 months of being a missionary!!! So crazy to think about. I have learned so much and have grown so much. I am so grateful to be a missionary!!

This week we met a girl named Brianna and she is so cute! She has very little knowledge about any religion and just wants to come closer to Christ. She bought a Bible and asked if we could help her study it! We are gonna be meeting with her every Tuesday and Thursday and we are super excited!! 


In one of our Bible studies, this week Sister Jaster was saying something about how amazing it will be when Jesus comes to the earth again. And the lady cut her off and said, "Comes back??" And then goes, "Honey Jesus is on the earth… He's in Alabama!" We both were caught off guard and did our best to not bust out laughing. The lady then goes off for about 20 minutes telling us stories about Jesus being in Alabama and it was very entertaining, to say the least. I seriously never know what people here are gonna say. 


I am soooo grateful for the holy ghost. We had an experience this week where we felt super protected by listening to the spirit. We have been teaching this guy and for some reason, after our lesson, we both just felt so uneasy about going over there anymore. We both don't know why but I know without a doubt that the spirit is there to protect us and to keep us away from harm. 


One of my favorite quotes that I read about every day says, "Therefore, how can you and I really expect to glide naively through life as if to say, 'Lord give me experiences but not grief, not sorrow, not pain, not opposition, not betrayal, and certainly not to be forsaken.' Keep from me, Lord, all those experiences which made thee what thou art!"


Being a missionary is hard... being human is hard… we all have bad days, hard weeks, even hard years but I know that we are given these things to become better. As we turn to God we will find comfort, peace, and strength. 


Mosiah 24: 14-15


Go read that scripture haha it seriously is so comforting. Y'all are the best thank you for all the prayers! Love you!!

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...
