Week 29: 3 areas??

 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 basically just ran all over Wien. Quite the little adventure!


Some funny memories of the week are: in our district council we were doing a get to know you game and we played two truths and a lie. My lie was that I've been swimming with stingrays and one of the german elders goes, "who's stingray" he thought stingray was a person and we all died laughing hahaha! I love when Germans make English mistakes because it makes me feel better about all my German mistakes. Also, Johanna (one of our friends here) started calling me her crazy chicken and I have no idea why but it makes me laugh. Anyways if you know me you know I love laughing so stuff like that makes me happy so I thought I'd share.

We got to meet with the guy I talked about in my last email and it went good! He still believes in the gospel and is committed to start reading the book of Mormon again. As we were talking I realized that he knew what was right but had stopped doing the little things that were keeping him on the right track. Throughout this week I have been thinking about how simple the gospel is and how all we have to do is keep doing the little things. Pray. Read your scriptures. Have more faith. Serve more. Love more. Do the things that bring you closer to our Savior. As I've been thinking about those things I have realized that those are the things that bring me the most joy in my life. The gospel is simple and happy. I want to invite you or encourage you to keep doing the little things that bring you closer to our Savior. I promise you will find more joy in your life. I have seen it in mine.

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...
