Week 31: ELDER BEDNAR

Image
  This week was amazing!!! I was able to see so many tender mercies and was overwhelmed by the spirit and it was just the best! Sorry, it's a long one, I just have so many things to tell! My mission Crazy encounter of the week: we were walking to the church and this guy started yelling at us in German. He asked if we would go on a date with him and when we told him no, he started yelling that he wasn't tall enough and he doesn't have a degree and that he wants to know why everyone rejects him. We told him we were missionaries and he was like woah I'm Christian too! Anyway, we had an interesting conversation with him and during it, his nose started bleeding because he had apparently just done a line of coke… we encouraged him to stop doing that haha and he told us that he would stop if we texted him! I count that as a win! Probably the most interesting invitation I've ever given on the mish but hey maybe he'll have a change of heart. Sister Carter  This weekend w...

  Johanna and the palace Hallo Meine Lieben! I hope y'all had such a good week! Mine was super busy which is always good!! Throughout the week I always think about what I wanna tell you all and a lot of times I just can't put it into words. So sorry if I don't make a lot of sense sometimes… I confuse myself a lot too, so there's that.  After the flashing On the street this week we had a fun little encounter. We were with 8 other missionaries and we walked past this lady and as we passed she said, "I believe in God, I believe in you" and was like pointing at us but then just kept walking. We were all caught off guard because that never happens and we just kept walking and then me and my comp were like what the and like took in what had happened and decided to chase her down and talk with her. An experience for sure... I think she was a bit crazy because she started going off about how Jesus played a significant role in the nazi movement and all this stuff and I...

  Hey guys! It was a wild week for sure and if I'm being honest… I'm glad it's over!  Wednesday we dropped off sister chandler and it was real sad:(( I miss her lots! When missionaries leave here all the missionaries in the area come to the train station and say goodbyes and then run with the train as far as we can until it takes off. Kinda fun! There is 5 sets of elders here in Wien and 2 sets of sisters. 4 sets of elders came to send sister chandler off and the sisters didn't end up coming which meant when sister chandler left I was 1 sister among 9 elders… apparently the sisters didn't know I was gonna be with them and so just didn't bother coming. We called them and they started their way over but in the meantime I got to be in a trio with some elders for a good 2 hours which was kinda crazy.. I finally got picked up and the crazy began. From Wednesday to Sunday we got to cover 3 areas which was a lot a bit crazy. We went from lesson to lesson to lesson and ...
