Week 74: got robbed...



 Banger of a week!


So I'm still confused and don't know how this happened.. but on Sunday we had a box with some food in it, and on the Ubahn this guy was like, "Ich will deinen Salat" (I want your lettuce). We just kinda laughed thinking he was kidding but long story short he just took it out of our box as we were exiting the ubahn... we were caught so off guard and were like did we just get robbed? So ya basically I can say I got robbed on my mission... We did give him our card tho so we better have gotten a new friend from that at least. 

Wednesday was such a happy day! We had a baptism in our ward for our friend named Valera. He is 18 and from Ukraine and just so awesome. The whole night he just had the biggest smile on his face. The meeting was in English, Ukrainian, and German, and even tho I couldn't understand some parts, the spirit was so strong. After the baptism, he got up and said, "I don't know a lot of German but I will try to say what I feel, Ich bin glücklich! Ich fühle mich so gut!" (I am happy! I feel so good) it was the most tender thing ever and I am so happy I got to be apart of it. The gospel is good and brings so much happiness.

I've been struggling the last little bit with my mission coming to an end. I am so bad with change and have been searching for peace with this big change coming up. In my studies, I found the answer I needed and feel so much comfort with


what's coming. I didn't even know the answer I was looking for but God did and gave it to me. I know that God hears and answers our prayers. As I have been reflecting I have been reminded of how many prayers he has answered for me and for others. I have felt his presence as I have heard someone talk to him for the first time. I have felt his love for people who can't even understand a prayer but feel the power of it. I have felt an overcoming peace when the only thing I could do was just cry to him. I have felt his strength as I do things that I know I couldn't do on my own. I can't count the times I have felt him pick me up and kept me going. I know that there is no way I could do anything without him. I know that he is there, that he loves us, and that he will answer us.

Alma 34: 17-27

Love you guys! Make it a great week and don't forget to pray.

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...
