Week 51: moving...

 Well, the week was good and then this morning President decided to throw us a curveball and sent us scrambling. So you know how we've been covering two areas well we got the news last night that we are receiving 12 missionaries from the Ukraine mission and so now we have enough to not double cover. So we will just be in Heilbronn now which comes with a crusty old apartment wahoo. So basically today and tomorrow we are packing up and moving to the apartment there. 




If you remember my first week here in this area i was struggling a bit because all the members in Heilbronn are old, single, and sad…it's a sad truth. I was able to feel better when we went to our other ward filled with families and young people that embraced us so well and made me feel better. Anyways looks like God gave me that for a little to get adjusted and now he thinks I'm ready to just be with old people. It'll be good. I'm ready to love these old ladies but honestly, I'm kinda bummed. God's got a plan though and I trust him. He always pulls through.

Now for the miracle of the week! Your girl is a bit clumsy and I lost the area phone.. I realized I didn't have it right as we were getting on the train to go home so we quickly got off. We had been all over the place and I couldn't remember the last time I had it. We called the member we were with and she searched her car but had no luck. By this time it was about 9 and we had to get home so we got on the next train and decided to retrace our tracks in the morning. The next day we got up, prayed real hard, and headed to Heilbronn. We started at the first place that came to my head and we found it immediately!! I thought there was no way but God is good. It was indeed destroyed and looked like it had been running over a couple times but besides the point… we found it! Crazy that we found it and another miracle that the Sim wasn't broken because the holder of the Sim card was also destroyed. We put it in another phone and still have almost everything. Thank goodness. Literal miracle. Also, I am no longer in charge of the phone.
We got to watch the Europe-wide Devotional this week and it was so amazing. One of the things that was said that I loved was something to the point of, there is no spiritual power in living in convenience. I'm really bad at being okay with that sometimes. I like being in my comfort zone. I have noticed though, that the times I grow most are when I'm out doing something that is challenging. As a missionary, I get to do those types of things every day. Not gonna lie it's hard to just go talk to people and get rejected again and again but it's a lot easier with the lord is on my side. Kinda silly but a lot of times when I don't have enough courage to go talk to someone I have a saying that plays in my mind and it's, "I will go
if you'll go with me". Every time it helps and I know it's because God is on my team and that's all I need.

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...
