Week 45: I must be a hard comp...

 

Dodging pigeons


Hello everybody! I hope you all had an amazing week and are listening to all the Christmas songs. One of my personal favorites is cold December night by Michael Buble. Give it a listen for me. My comp goes home this week:(( I got told I'm gonna get a different one for 10 days and then I'll get a different one.. kinda weird hahaha maybe they only can take me for 10 days or something..



Okay, miracle time! We were walking outside with one of our friends and I saw this lady carrying cookies. I don't know why but I pointed her out and just said something about the cookies and then we kept walking. Like 45 minutes later as we were getting on our train we saw her from a ways away get on the same train. My comp and I have a rule that if we see the same person twice we have to talk to them but she was far away so we just got on where we were and sat down. I think God didn't like that we didn't go talk to her because like 5 minutes into our ride my comp goes look to your right and the cookie lady was standing right next to me. I didn't really think and just said hi and the first thing that came to my head was to ask her about what the cookies were for. So that's exactly what I did but the thing is she was standing next to me because she was waiting for the bathroom and she didn't have her cookies with her… she looked around herself and then back at me.. I panicked for half a second not knowing what she was gonna say but she was so nice and didn't think anything about it! blessing hahaha. She told us about the cookies and then out of nowhere started talking about how she loves reading spiritual books. We told her about the Book of Mormon and she was shocked when we told her she could have one for free! Her last sentence to us was that she goes to a church but feels like there's more that it doesn't have and that maybe this book will give her answers. Like what!! Oh and then another bonus she walked back to her seat and then brought us some cookies. Literal angel! 



At distriktsrat yesterday we got asked what we have learned these past 6 weeks. The first thing that came to my mind is that Jesus Christ magnifies our efforts. He can turn an awkward conversation where the lady probably thought I had been stalking her into an amazing conversation where she walked away with hope and the book that will change her life. He can take a broken German testimony and carry it into the heart of a grumpy old German man. He can literally take whatever we can give him and make it enough. I know he's here with me doing his work. He leads and guides me every day and all he asks of us is to give him what we can. He will do the rest, he makes us enough. 


Through him I know I am enough. And so are you! Use him because that's why he's there! He will never disappoint.

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...
