Week 16: WARNING...tornado?

 

Great week here!! This week was our first week not having to wear masks! We had a meeting with President and he said if we're vaccinated we don't have to wear them! Blessings!! I seriously am so sick of masks. Lowkey they came in clutch sometimes though because a lot of people here are interesting haha and say interesting things and sometimes I just can't help but laugh and with a mask on you could never tell! so we'll see how that goes… so far I've been doing good.


On Tuesday we went over to the salon to finish up the lessons with Ashley. When we were there we started hearing a siren go off and we were so confused because it didn't sound like an ambulance or a police car. Turns out it was the sirens for a tornado warning! Sister Jaster and I had never heard those before and started freaking out a little. We asked if we should go get in the bathtub or something and everyone in the salon was laughing at us! Guess it wasn't a big deal but it sure freaked me out.


This week we had the coolest experience. So there is this girl named Fleisa and we had one lesson over the phone with her and then we were able to go to her house. We taught her the restoration and it was seriously the most powerful lesson I have ever had here on the mission. The spirit seriously just took over and I really don't even remember what I was saying but it was just so cool. At the end of it, we asked her if she wanted to be a member of this church and she got so excited! We set a date for June 5th and we are so happy for her! We walked out of her house and I and my comp just looked at each other and were like was that real? Seriously so cool and was such a testimony builder. 


I love being a missionary and getting to bring people closer to Christ and being able to strengthen my testimony while doing it. There isn't a better thing that I could be doing right now. I love this gospel, it truly brings me so much joy.

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...
