Week 47: klopf klopf







 I can't believe Christmas is over! To be honest I never thought I would even make it to Christmas so if that doesn't show you God is real, I don't know what does! All I know is he is the only reason I've been able to be away from home for this long. Grateful for that guy and the strength he gives me. We had such a good couple of days. The members literally spoiled us and I am so grateful. 

We did another book of Mormon drop-off this week and had another way cool experience. We went to the apartment and it looked like old folks home and we didn't really know how to get in but we found the place to ring and found our girl's name. We rang and she answered and it was super muffled but we told her we had a book for her and we're pretty sure she just told us to put it in the mailbox but we weren't 100 percent and we wanted to give it to her so we just walked up to her door. She opened and was like I'm super busy but I'll take the book and went to shut the door but I asked if we could help her with anything and she said no but then started talking about everything she needed to do and then like mid sentence of her telling us everything she was like you know what, come on in. God is good guys. We walked in and sat down and were able to start talking about her beliefs and why she wanted the book and basically found out she is so faithful and loves learning about different churches and is confused why there's so many and all that. We were able to introduce the book of mormon and have a good discussion about it and she is so excited to read it! But it gets better. As we were talking about it one of her friends came over and then we were able to give her a book too and they both were so excited to read and talk about it

all together. It was so cool! 

I love having these experiences where I see people get excited about things that bring me so much joy. The gospel truly is joy and I am beyond grateful for it in my life.

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...
