My mom abandoned me at a train station

Hey hey party people! Wanna hear something absolutely wild? I finished my first transfer and am officially no longer a newbie 🤯

This last week of the transfer was pretty awesome! We made some new friends, taught quite a few fire lessons, had friends at church, and just had a blast together. And then my comp decided to leave me. I mean she didn't really have much of a choice but it was still pretty rude of her haha! 

Tuesday was kinda chaotic and also quite sad lol. I had to say bye to Sister Maughan at the train station and I've been a bit of a mess since. She is an amazing missionary (she's an STL now so you know she's gotta be), the most perfect person I could've been with for my first transfer, and easily one of my best friends now. But Sister Maughan if you're reading this right now, I'm actually totally fine and definitely have not cried at all since you left 😂 I spent majority of the day after that waiting for my new companion with other sisters who were also waiting for companions. It was fun to hang with them and talk about how excited and scared we all are for this transfer and new companions and all that.

And then my new companion, Sister Miner, came! She's a cutie and has lots of energy. Like so much of it. It's only been like a day and a half but it's already been quite an adjustment. I think this transfer will be good, just wayyy different than the last one. I'm also now the one who is supposed to know everyone and where we're going and everything like that and that's super stressful lol. 

Luckily for us though God knows what's up! He sees a bigger picture than we can and knows exactly what we need in order to learn and grow. Life's kinda rough sometimes but, with heavenly help, we can count on making it through and coming out as better people at the end of it

A t-rex or et??

Last district lunch before two of these elders go home

Cause who doesn't need a President Dan Hammon calendar

I got Lego sets in our district white elephant!!!

Yep I'm literally a child but whatever lol

Idk what there is to say about this but here you go

A pretty accurate representation of how we felt waiting to see where Sister Maughan was going and who my new comp would be

I just could not get my bike to stand up. In my defense, the sidewalk was way slanted

Our couch conversations hit different and I'm gonna miss them so much

More games with the Wiehe kiddos


Made some solid goals for the week 💪

Tschüss I guess

The Book of Mormon: A True Story!!

Image
It's Thursday so here I am again 🤪 This past week was pretty crazy but I was able to find some pretty cool miracles!  We received a couple referrals which was exciting and we've had some fun lessons with some of our friends. My favorite one was about the Book of Mormon where I was able to testify at the end. I was tearing up, the two people we were teaching were tearing up, and the Spirit was SO strong!! Even though I was bearing my testimony, the Spirit was definitely doing most of the work because I felt it being testified to ME! It was an amazing experience and I'm so grateful that I get to be a vessel for the Lord full-time One of the girls in the ward is prepping for her mission to Canada right now and has a goal to read the Book of Mormon before she starts. We were talking about it and she told me that sometimes it's hard to stay on track with the reading schedule she has right now. We realized that we were almost at the same spot in the Book of Mormon and decide...

A Talk, a Tausch, and a Taufe

Howdy friends! Another week, another email! Hope everyone is doing well! This week kinda flew by so I'll just give some highlights. On Sunday I gave my first talk auf Deutsch! Wiiiild. I was stressing cause we got the text about it the night before and I'm not the most confident when it comes to my German, and by that I mean I have zero confidence lol. BUT I DID IT!! I wrote it in English and translated it all by myself with minor corrections to adjective endings by my STL. Then I gave it without puking out of nervousness which I definitely consider a dub. And after church my ward was hyping me up! They all just told me that I've improved so much since coming here and that my German is way good considering I've only been here for less than three months. It was really nice to here and hopefully this experience will help with my confidence moving forward.  We also had Austausch again this week. This time I went to Essen and got to live my best quad life. It was a total pa...
