Week 54: winners



 First off go rams.



The week was good! I got to talk to all different kinds of people and it's so cool to see and feel God's love for each and every one of them. We had an Ausstellung on Friday and oh the things I get to experience… I really was just lacking the motivation to talk to people that day and so I just stopped and started looking around (don't know if that was revelation or me just being lazy..) but this guy came up and was like what are you doing here? He was a little more than high and as we were talking he was like leaning on his bike and during our conversation he lost his balance and slowly fell, along with his bike, to the ground and it honestly was so funny and it just about killed me to not die laughing. 
Despite his fall, we were able to have a pretty good conversation with him. He opened up to us a lot and told us about his life and the challenges he has. We were super bold with him and asked him if he wanted to change his life around. He told us he didn't know how or where to start. We testified of Jesus Christ and the happiness he could bring him and the thing is I could feel without a doubt that he could change his life around but also could see he had no desire which made me sad. If this man only knew the 360 he could have. We gave him a card with Jesus on it and maybe one day he will have a desire to change. 
This experience made me realize how powerful having a desire is. We won't change unless we are the ones who really want it. We have to take the first steps. God is there and ready to help us but we have to want his help. Even just having a desire is a step in the right direction. God will help you become more than you can even imagine if you let him. I'm grateful for him and the opportunity to become better every day

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...
