It's cold outside

Hello and Happy New Year to All!! It's been another normal week in Frankfurt!! Which actually means nothing normal happened! We had a lot of cool experiences this week and I have definitely felt Heavenly Father's help. A goal that we set as a companionship was to work harder and make sure that we are really trying to have and follow the spirit in everything we are doing.  On Saturday night we were just going to go home and work on transferring the Area Book, but I decided to pray and felt like we shouldn't get off the bus and keep going. We then felt like we should go to a certain bahn stop. We got on the bahn and ended up both contacting really cool people! Sister Weeks got a potential and I was able to talk to and become friends with this wonderful woman from Turkey. It turns out we had completely passed the bahn station because of our conversations, but I feel like we were just supposed to go in that direction to help us meet those people. 

We had another street display this week, it was hard, because it was FREEZING cold. Sometimes it's really hard to get motivated when it is freezing. Sister Weeks and I had set a potential goal though and we wanted to make it, and we wanted to show the Lord how hard we wanted to work. So we did it, we got out there and started trying really hard to be good and contacting and talking to everyone. No one was having it. It was a rough start so many people just didn't want to stop or talk to us. But we kept working and we DID IT! We reached our goal, and we took a hot chocolate break hahahaha. But it was good, oh and be proud!! The Zone Leaders left for a hot chocolate break and they came over and told me I was in charge and to be an example to the other missionaries. I say: SUCCESS! 

This week I learned more about the Muslim religion then I thought I ever would. We got a new investigator and she is Muslim, we had our first lesson with her in a burger restaurant and talked about what we believe and about the Book of Mormon, and she told us what she believed. It was interesting. We will see if anything happens with her, but we can hope and pray. She said she would read the Book of Mormon. Then we got an investigator that the Elders passed on to us, and we show up and her husband is there too, and he is avid Muslim. He spent the whole time telling us all about how what we believe is wrong and then they force fed us dinner and made us an hour late to our actual dinner appointment.... I felt really fat that night..... missionary powers.... pounding down two dinners in a row, 

Oh, I also misunderstood someone this week, and apparently they asked me if I wanted whiskey, I thought they said, oh so you don't drink whiskey. So I said: Yes and they all about died and thought it was hilarious, Sister Weeks was just very confused.  

Anywhoo. I'm doing good. Just keep putting along giving out those Books and battling the cold that January has brought in. Thank you for all of your prayers and I hope you all are having a great new year jumping back into life after the holidays. 

Love, Sister Losee 

Oh I almost forgot!!! A bahn died and temporarily ran out of electricity and we got stuck underground for a couple minutes. It was awesome!!! Selfie included from that excursion.
