Week 75: divine trash






Can you guys believe that next week will be my last weekly ever? Ya me either... 


Wednesday we were both just having a rough day. Our ward needs lots of help but no one ever answers us, we don't have a lot of friends, and it's just hard to feel like the work we do is even helping or if it's what we're supposed to do and ya basically we were crying in the kitchen trying to make banana bread... kinda funny looking back but not so funny in the moment. I said a prayer and told god that we would go out and find a miracle but we needed his help. We went to try and go visit a lady and she wasn't home and then it started dumping rain on us and it was getting late so we decided to grab dinner and get on our train back. The train hadn't quite left yet and I had finished my food and wanted to throw my trash away and I looked at my watch and saw
we had 2 minutes. There is a bunch of trash cans on the platforms of the trains so I told my comp I wanted to throw my trash away. We got off, threw the trash away, went to get back on, and the doors had locked and we watched our train drive away... at this point we just start laughing because of course that would happen on our already not great day. We waited for the next train, got on, and ended up sitting across from our miracle. Her name is Imge and she wasn't that interested in the gospel (yet) but she was so nice and told us she would love love talk more! Sooo cool! I learned 3 things. 1) My watch is 2 minutes late. 2) that was some inspired trash and 3) God hears and answers prayers. 

We were able to go to The Passion Play yesterday! There's a really cool story behind it. In the 1500s there was a plague ravishing through Europe, and when someone infected came to a little town in Germany, they prayed and promised the lord that if they were spared they would reenact the last week of the Savior's life every 10 years. I was lucky enough to be in germany at the same time! It was really powerful and made me a lot more appreciative of my savior. And not just an overall savior, but one who knows and cares for us personally! I know that my redeemer lives. 

Bonus miracle: there were sooo many members at the play so I now know what it feels like to be a celebrity! We literally felt famous and we kept hearing "we love our missionaries!" And "you guys are our heroes" it was so sweet and I felt so loved. Also, I've seriously never had so many people ask to take my picture or want to talk to me haha! It was a nice change from the typical, so pro tip: when you see missionaries go talk to them because it might just make their week! 

I hope you guys have an amazing week! Go find your miracles because they are out there!

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...
