Mehr Schnee = Mehr Stress

Hey hey party people!! This week was a little funky but we survived and now you get to hear a little bit about it

We went on Austausch this week and I stayed in Euskirchen with Sister Mackey. She's been my STL every transfer so far which is kinda nice since we already know each other. Makes it a little less stressful. But what was stressful though was being in Euskirchen and having to know where I'm going. Apparently I rely on Sister Nielsen a little too much haha

This week we had a couple lessons with friends. Some of them went really well, others not so much lol. None were horrible tho so dubs. We also visited some members. My two favorite visits were having lunch with the branch president's family, especially his little kiddos, and making brownies with an inactive family

We had a district finding activity in Bonn which was pretty fun. I got to explore a little bit, win the district finding challenge with Sister Cook, and talk to people about Jesus! Pretty fire day! But then we had to drive home in the ice/snow which is absolutely terrifying!! Idk how people do it, I almost cried

This scripture was the theme for one of our lessons this week. "I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me" (Philippians 4:13). I love it because no matter where we are in life or what we are trying to accomplish, it is one of the trust statements ever!

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...

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 ...

A Talk, a Tausch, and a Taufe

Image
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...
