Week 52: what have you been drinking?

 Not gonna lie this week felt so long. We have been busy moving and getting into the groove of things here. We've also been getting lost a lot which has been fun. On one occasion this week a bus driver literally blocked us from getting on the bus and asked us if we had been drinking something because we got on and off like 3 times. I really don't know if he was joking around with us or not cause Germans are hard to read and usually don't really goof around but ya it was pretty funny. 





We also had a book of Mormon dropoff way out in the middle of nowhere and they didn't have a bus for us to get back to the main station so we put on running shoes and decided to run back. It was a good 3 miles and it was kinda awesome not gonna lie. The bummer part of the story was that the man said he didn't order it and didn't want it. Schade 1 because little does he know this book would change his life and Schade 2 I had to run 3 miles with the book in my hand. Unfortunate.
We had a zone conference on Monday and it was amazing. We talked a lot about becoming the best version of ourselves. This got me thinking, I feel like we all have a desire to become better but when it comes down to it, it's hard to really want to put in the work to change. I know for me I get really overwhelmed and a lot of times don't even know where to start. I also feel defeated when I don't actually see any change but the thing is, when we do little things every day we are becoming something better. So.. this week I invite you all to start doing the little things. Whether that be making sure to say your morning and evening prayers, reading in the scriptures, looking for ways to serve, or any other good thing. Our world needs more light and by doing little things we can help brighten it. Jesus Christ is our greatest example and I'm grateful for the endless light that he gives.

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...
