For this past week...
Montag: Emailing by the Internet Laden was weird! And lame
because we couldn't send pictures at that one. Then we went shopping! I got a
skirt and a dress at Orsay! They are really cute and you will see pics of them
later I’m sure. We also then had a great family home evening where Corola
invited a ton of people and her niece talked to us about her study abroad in
Malaysia! Cool!
Dienstag: We had an appointment with a contact named
Anthony. But it fell out. So, we decided to go by on one of our investigators
Lotte. She was home and invited us in! We talked for a long time and did some
How To Begin Teaching, (Refer to PMG (Preach My Gospel) chapter 10 I believe)
and she talked a lot about how she feels weird praying because she feels there
is no one there. We had a good conversation about how God is there and how he
answers and hears prayers. We then met with Schwester Schröter! This is the
less active that hasn't been to church in 7 years, has anxiety and all that
stuff. She is SO nice though. She loves the sisters and has such a strong
testimony. Reads the Book of Mormon every day! She is more faithful than some
active members in our ward!
Mittwoch: We had ZTM in Leipzig! I love that city! We go
almost every week! I learned a lot about having the right attitude about the
language. Mom will know this, but usually with things that are hard I usually
have an "I'm never going to be able to do this attitude" and then mom
would reply by saying..."Well with that attitude you're sure not!"
So, at ZTM I kind of got that answer. With an "I can’t do it"
attitude, I'm never going to be able to do it! So, from this day on, I have had
a different attitude and I believe it’s working!
Donerstag: Comfort called us and she needed our help to get
her from Hauptbahnhof (Central Station) to her house. So we went and picked her
up and were going to take a Bahn, however, she made us get in a Taxi, yes I say
made because she pretty much pushed us in! Oh she is a funny lady! We didn't
die in the taxi and so all is good! We also met with David and had a joint
teach with Joni who speaks French!! It went SO good! It was the law of chastity
and he said he has no problem with it because he has no girl! So good David! He
said he loved the lesson because he could actually tell his feelings and have
someone understand! Poor kid! But! We are meeting with him 3 times a week now
because we have to make a LOT of progress before his baptism in 3 weeks. Pray
for us, and him! We also met with Enrico and talked to him about Patriarchal
blessings. I love talking about those because I have such a strong testimony of
them! My patriarchal blessing has helped me in my life so much.
Freitag: Weekly planning as always. We had 2 appointments
set up and they both fell out. But! We did see David on our way back from going
to one of them. He was doing well and we talked for a little bit! He's really
funny, and will be a great member! We then had Deutsch and English! BTW if
anyone has Idioms (that’s an English thing) would you send them to me? Dad, I'm
sure you have some! The people that come to our English class want some!
Samstag: We went finding and gave out English class flyers.
Then we met with Trang and I taught her some piano, then we talked about the
word of wisdom. Ok, then my FAVORITE part of this week! A girl called us on
Wednesday and said she had contact with some missionaries 2 years ago in
Germany while she was studying, but then moved back to London and had no
contact there. She ended up moving back to Germany and working in Wittenberg,
and living in Halle! She was still in contact with the missionaries that had
taught her before even though they were home now! So, one of the missionaries
gave her our number! Guess who the Missionary was?! Brudder Liddle! My MTC
teacher!! So, we met with Lydia at a Cafe called "Bewaffel Dich" It
reminds me of Awful Waffle! (Savannah should know what that is!) She is
super cute and has the cutest accent! We set up another appointment and really
we can’t wait to meet with her! I LOVE when we have new investigators! Sontag: Chruch! Always good! David and Maria (investigator also) were both there! Along with a family of 4, that a member brought!! They are now the Elders Investigators! Ah! Miracles are happening! We ate by the Müllers with the Jentztch famile! We then tried to go by on a less active and her 8 year old son. Someone let us into the building (the klingels (?) are weird on that building) so we rang their doorbell inside, but no one answered. So, I thought a lady lived next door that we had also met so I rang their doorbell. It wasn’t the lady who answered, but a guy about 25 and he recognized us as missionaries and invited us in. He had met with missionaries before and found what we believe really interesting. Except for he found it interesting in the fact that he is studying theology and so it was all about school stuff and yeah. The point of this is that one of his roommates came out and it was one of the Knights we talked to that was fighting in the park that one time!! I was SO excited and so he came and talked to us too! He will become a member sometime! We are preparing the Knight (Sabastian is his name) step by step!
Well, that’s about it for my week! We have a goal to have at
least 1 appointment every day! We have been doing it! It’s so so good! Loving
every minute of missionary work! Remember to always have an "I CAN do
it" attitude!
Alle Leibe,
Sister St. John
P.S. I may or may not be shaving my legs today for the
first time since I’ve been in Germany! I may, or may not send a picture next
week! You will die! 
I wore Sister Egbert out our first day! She wasn't used to walking so much! Whoops!
Some flowers! Its becoming spring!!
Some missionaries in Leipzig! We ate at KFC and it was the best KFC I've ever in my entire life ever had! (ps. I'm getting less photogenic as my mission goes on!)
Comfort, yes we are sitting on her floor!
Sister Egbert! So suß (?)! And a cool bridge!
Us finding one day! We like to trade clothes because we are almost the same height!
Us on Hallmarkt! See! She's only like one inch taller than me!
