Week 28: cats are not my friend

 Heyyyy everyone! This week was a bit wild and I gotta have some fun experiences… 


First off I am not a cat person and this week just put me over the edge… sorry to all you cat lovers out there. So here's the story. I got to go to Graz for an exchange and we got invited to this sweet ladies house for dinner. We walked in and I was immediately hit with the stinkiest smell ever. Picture opened cat food that I swear had to have been left out for the last 3 years and maybe even a dead cat that someone just left. Idk but oh man it was bad. And it gets worse… so I already wanna throw up from the stench alone and then we sit down for dinner. She made us sandwiches and don't get me wrong I am super grateful but I could barely get it down. They had the thickest layer of butter, mystery meat, eggs, pickles, a huge dollop of mayo, and topped off with some fun little cat hairs. No joke I probably picked off 10 cat hairs off of each sandwich and those are just the ones I could see. Anyway, not my favorite experience but made for a fun memory. 


This week we met with our friend Johanna and we brought a member with us so they could get to know each other better. We all went to a park and I don't know how this happened but Sister Chandler and the member were having a conversation in English and I was left to talk to Johanna in German! It was so cool though because like 20 minutes into our conversation I realized that we were speaking German and not English and I was able to talk to just her for like 45 minutes which was so cool! I felt the need to tell her about priesthood blessings and did the best I could to explain how they can help us with what we are struggling with. She told me that she would love to have one and thought that that could help her. On Sunday we were able to make it happen and it was such a cool experience. The blessing said so many things that she struggles with and the spirit was so strong. How cool is it that we have God's power here on earth. I am so grateful that I was able to be a part of that experience and see God's hand work in the life of someone that I have grown to love so much. Please send prayers for Johanna!


Another blessing this week was while we were out on the street this man stopped us and told us he was a member of the church but that he hasn't been to church in years! He said that he has been feeling like he should go back but didn't know when and where to even start. We were able to get his information and are excited to help him come back to church!! God put us in that spot at the exact right time and it's just another example for me that he is real and he loves his children. Which means he loves YOU! Don't forget it.


1 Nephi 11:17

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...
