Hello friends and family!!! I hope everyone is doing
well!! It was a fantastic week here in Germany!!! Last month our ward hard the
"October Fast" and they all signed up for days to fast for missionary
work and we have all been really stressing member missionary work.
Well October is over and November is here!! And honestly
miracles are happening!!
So coolness: on my very first day in Germany. While my
teeth were unbrushed and i was so tired I practically was falling asleep standing: they had us go out to a street display and talk
to people.
Well another sister and I had been trying to talk to
people and met a Chinese lady who seemed interested. We got her phone number
and went our merry ways. Well turns out I got called to be in the Frankfurt
area (AND THE CHINESE LADY SPEAKS ENGLISH AND I'M IN THE ENGLISH WARD). So sister Jenkins and I tried to call the phone number
but it wasn't working. This past week MIRACLE we got the phone number to work
and had an appointment with her on Friday!!! She is fantastic!! She is very
open to everything we were teaching her and she prayed aloud for the first time
and LOVED it!! We are hoping to set a baptismal date this coming week!! Yay for
missionary work! (If you so desire you can check out the Frankfurt mission
website and there are photos from my first day at the street display. The lady
in the hat is her!)
This week was also cool because we have started working
with a less active and we finally found our what she has problems with and we
can now start to try and better help her!!! I'm so pumped!
Oh Halloween was fun because we made and ate about a
million sugar cookies! Mmmm pictures to be included.
I also had my first crepe and it was DELICIOUS and so big
and glorious.
Oh this week we also taught the word of wisdom to Alex
and he super eagerly accepted it and we are getting super excited for his
upcoming baptism at the end of the month! This week we also set a baptism date
with a woman who has been investigating the church for years!!! Yes!!!
Right before that happened I saw my first rainbow in
Germany. It was a sign. But it was so cool because it was really just a
listening lesson and the spirit did all of the work. After setting the date she
said she felt so full!! Ahhh I love the spirit.
About the title: I have a chocolate problem. It is so
bad. One night I had SO much Nutella on bread. So now sister Jenkins holds and
hides all of the chocolate. It's really sad. But necessary.
Note about my area/ward: it rocks. Our boundaries are
literally wherever the members live. So we regularly go into other areas and
zones for dinner appointments and some investigators. Although that can be
frustrating because it's long travel time on trains.
Oh transfers are Tuesday. My whole district is staying
the same!! I'm so happy ! I love my district. Well. That's about it for today.
I'm emailing a little early today because we are going to a different area with
our district And supposedly there are cool churches and possibly a castle
there. So road trip!! (Because the tech elders need to fix something on a car
down there so we get to ride by car and not public transport since it's part of
their job!!)
I think these are the Halloween Cookies
This is how they broke their fast on Sunday.
This is an 18 year old girl all alone going to school in Frankfurt. She loves the missionaries so she hangs out with them. Bonnie says she so fun!!
