Week 63: ELDER UCHTDORF!!

 Happy late Easter everyone! I found this poem that I'd like to share! I feel like it perfectly describes a little bit of the way I feel about our Savior, Jesus Christ.


"There is never a day so dreary
   But God can make it bright,
And unto the soul that trusts Him,
   He giveth songs in the night.

There is never a path so hidden,
   But God can lead the way,
If we seek for the Spirit’s guidance
   And patiently wait and pray.

There is never a cross so heavy
   But the nail-scarred hands are there
Outstretched in tender compassion
   The burden to help us bear.

There is never a heart so broken,
   But the loving Lord can heal,
The heart that was pierced on Calvary
   Doth still for His loved ones feel.

There is never a life so darkened,
   So hopeless and unblessed,
But maybe filled with the light of God
   And enter His promised rest.

There is never a sin or sorrow,
   There is never a care or loss,
But that we may bring to Jesus
   And leave at the foot of the cross."

I studied a whole lot about Jesus this week (tis the season) and I just love him!!! I am so grateful for him in my life and that because of him we can have 2nd and 3rd and 4th and a million chances. I am not perfect but I try my best and he makes that enough. With him, on our team, we literally can't lose. And guess what he wants to be on your team so choose him every day. He will always pull through. 

Oh also, Elder Uchtdorf was amazing!! I shook that man's hand and the only words that came out of my mouth were "ich hab dich lieb" (I love you!) It's true tho so hopefully, he didn't think that was weird hahaha. He basically gave us like the most powerful, spiritual, uplifting pep talk I have ever received. I am so ready to go preach this beautiful gospel. A couple of things that I loved!

-Be confident and go for it! As long as we have the spirit with us and are speaking from the heart that is enough!
- When we know the importance of our message it makes it easier to want to share it. Find the desire.
-Broken German is endearing so don't worry and speak! The Holy Ghost will translate!
- We have a 24-hour prayer service! Put that faith to use! Go find the miracles that are waiting for you!
-You have nothing to lose. The Savior is on your team and he won't let you down. 

1 Peter 5:6-7 

My heart is so full! I love this gospel with everything I got. And I love you guys too!! Have a beautiful week!

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...
