Week 19: Croation vacation


 Time for the weekly update, y'all ready? This week has been pretty much a vacation. Haha, never thought that I'd have a vacation on the mish but here we are. I am still in Croatia in "quarantine", and if y'all ever have to quarantine I would definitely recommend doing it like this! This week included a lot of German, studies, missionaries, and the beautiful city of Zagreb! 


To give you an idea, this is kinda a sample of our daily schedule. 

6:30: Work out and get ready 

8: Breakfast at the hotel, which is so good!! They have the best croissants I have ever had.  

9-12: German Class! It's been overwhelming but good and I'm learning a lot! Also shout out to the Frankfurt District, who gave our teacher (she isn't a member) a Croatian Book of Mormon and have been teaching her the lessons!

12-4: Go out and explore Zagreb! Get some lunch which normally includes a bakery and Gelato and a container of strawberries. The strawberries here are seriously my favorite thing ever! 

4: All the studies

6: Dinner at the hotel which has been descent. It's been an adjustment coming from Mississippi where everything is so seasoned to super bland food here haha. I'm basically famous for saying "wo is die ranch?" Haha, I miss ranch.. and barbecue sauce... and Tony's...and ice... They don't do ice here and I crave cold water!

7: Every night we get to watch "The Chosen" and I absolutely love it!!

8:30- Nightly Devotional with missionaries from the Alpine mission! 

9- Girls night!






So basically we are living the dream, haha. 

 

Yesterday we were walking around and in the plaza, they had set up a giant screen to watch Croatia play in the European cup. There were so many people and they all were decked out! It was seriously so cool and basically, a dream come true. I love how passionate everyone is about soccer! My kind of people. 


I mentioned it last week but there are about 60 missionaries here, all going to one of the 3 missions in Germany. I am so grateful to be here because it has given me the opportunity to meet and get to know so many of them! Yesterday, during Sunday school they gave us time to share what we have been learning in our personal study. It was so powerful to be in a room filled with missionaries sharing their testimonies. We are all in the same spot, with starting this new adventure.  I felt so much love not only from the missionaries but from our Heavenly Father. What everyone said assured and testified to me of how much my Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ love me and are aware of me. This week has been amazing, but I've also been worried and anticipating the change that's coming. Between the new culture, a new mission, and a new language, it's easy to question what I'm doing. It was powerful and exactly what I needed to be surrounded by missionaries testifying of Christ and the work. There are so many scriptures I want to share, but D&C 31, has been on my mind a lot this week and as I've read it I've found so much comfort, especially in verse 3 when it says: "Lift up your heart and rejoice, for the hour of your mission is come; and your tongue shall be loosed, and you shall declare glad tidings of great joy unto this generation". I know I am exactly where I am supposed to be! And though this is a crazy change, I will never be alone. The Lord will always be with me and has prepared me for this time. I am so so excited for what's to come! 



This upcoming week will be exciting! On Thursday we travel to Munich, then I'll learn where I'm going! Stay tuned! Next week I'll be writing from either Germany, Austria or Switzerland! CRAZY!! I hope y'all have the best week! Please remember that the Lord is aware of you and loves you! Nothing will change that! Have the bestest week ever!


Also,
I became an aunt today and I am sooooo happy!! My heart is so full.  God is so good. I love my Clark baby already!!


Love y'all so much!

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...
