Week 53: 1YEAR

 I hit my year mark last Wednesday and wow I never thought I'd make it this far! Like actually… all I can say is that God is real. There is no way I would still be out here if I didn't have him carrying me every day. It's been such a cool thing to be able to feel his guidance, presence, and strength. I am so grateful.

Some highlights of the week were eating a chocolate brownie with vanilla ice cream from Burger King (literally was like a chocolate melting cake.. sooo good. I don't know if they have it in the states but if they do, I highly recommend it), walking home in the rain singing at the top of our lungs, doing 3 person yoga, and just being able to find joy in little things. Life is such a blessing and I want to enjoy the little moments more! 





Kind of a funny, rip of a story… so Marriott and I have been trying to brainstorm ways we can bring our cute little branch together. Everyone here loves going on walks and so we were like what if we did a walk all together! We started to plan it and then brought it up with the relief society president and she goes, well I mean ya you could do it but don't be offended if no one shows up... I wouldn't come.. like straight to our faces told us she wouldn't come!! We went from excited and expecting an enthusiastic answer to being like well… back to square 0. I honestly didn't even know how to answer, like dang girl we're just trying. I just laugh about it now and we are still gonna plan that walk and people are gonna come and it's gonna be awesome. I love Germans. I love Germans. I love Germans. I actually do but dang they are just a little too honest sometimes. 
Reflecting back on this last year has been so amazing. I have learned so much and would love to share just a few!
1. What he wants is more important than what I want.
2. You can't find comfort in someone you don't know. Get to know your Savior.
3. God has a plan, and it's a perfect one.
4. His love gives me confidence.
5. It's important to focus on what we do know. 
6. Jesus Christ is the source of all Light.
7. Prayer is our personal key to heaven and the lock is on our side of the veil.
8. Complete healing comes through faith in Jesus Christ and his atonement.
9. Don't let fear replace faith.
10. Conversion is an ongoing process.
11. It's never too late to change.
I'm so grateful for this past year and can't wait to keep doing the Lord’s work. It truly is joy and it's cool because you don't have to be a missionary to do it. If you want more joy in your life, share the gospel! So many people are seeking truth they just don't know where to find it. This week pray for missionary opportunities! I promise you won't regret it.

Love you all!

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...
