Week 55: shopping spree...

 Halllooo 8)


This week was too good. We saw so many miracles: 2 of our friends came to church and we made another new friend and life is just good. Also, so many funny things happened and it was my favorite. I love laughter it's seriously is the best thing. 

Get ready for storytime… we have the most interesting couple in our branch. There are no words I can use to explain these two but I just love them. They are less active and we have been talking with them a lot and idk what we did but they absolutely love us. They call us like 4 times a day asking if we're hungry or if we need anything and it's real sweet. At church on Sunday (yes they came!!! Miracle!) they told us they wanted to take us grocery shopping on our pday because they know missionaries don't have a lot of money. So nice!! They picked us up and took us to a store that sells like soup packets. It's the knorr brand if you know what that is. But it literally just had a bunch of soup packets and things we would never eat. They were so excited tho and kept putting things into our cart and so we joined and grabbed a couple random things to show our appreciation. When we went to check out they bought the stuff that was in their carts and when we went through they kinda just like walked away… we were so confused because we had gotten the idea that they were gonna pay but we ended up paying for a bunch things that we didn't want in the first place and ya it was so funny… also kinda sucky because we do have a budget and we spent it on soup mix that we didn't want hahaha. It's gonna be a week of soup!


We also had the coolest lesson this week! We got a referral for a Book of Mormon and the lady who asked for it is so sweet! She invited us in and we were able to read the introduction with her and tell her a little bit about the book and about the lessons that we teach. She told us she had gotten it for a friend but after we read and talked she told us she is very interested in taking the lessons and we set up an appointment to come back! I am so excited!! You can tell she is really seeking for truth and ah it makes my heart so happy. 


Today is also one of my biggest role model's birthdays. Kathrynn Shaw! The last couple of days in personal study my thoughts have been on her and her life. Her contagious smile and loud laugh are something that I will never stop missing. Her skill for being able to finish anyone's food, her disliking for bananas, and her love for life was my favorite. She was truly too good for this earth and I miss her every day. She is pure light in my life and I have never felt closer to her than the last couple of days. I am so grateful for my angels that look out for me on the other side.

Life is good, God is good, and families are forever. I am beyond grateful. Love you guys!

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...
