The weeks seem to go by faster and faster! Which scares
me...because not that I'm counting... but I only have 13 weeks left! AH!!!
Making study plans for the rest of my mission was weird!
Dienstag: We decided we needed to get our lives in order and
so we made a list of everyone that we could possibly be teaching. It's a pretty
long list! We also finished planning a theme for ZTM later that day. We had
Zone training meeting and it was the most spiritual ZTM I've had in a long
time. Maybe it was just because we had a theme so we got to plan and study
stuff for it, but it was awesome! Elders gave a theme on the Book of Mormon, we
gave one on the 3rd lesson super focused on the Atonement. We also had
interviews over the internet with President. Technology is cool!! Then, we had tausch
with the other sisters that serve is Hamburg! I went with Sister Porter who is
being trained in the moment! I LOVE her!! It was a fun night!
Mittwoch: Sister Porter and I had a fantastic time trying to
navigate Hamburg! Ha! But we did some good work, found a few less actives, they
weren't home of course. We also ate at Brother Stephens! Soul food this week!
So rice and sauce with all sorts of stuff in it! Soooo good! Especially when it’s
cold outside! Also, Sister Porter is awesome and brought me so much excitement!
She is being trained and has the best outlook on a mission! I wish I could go
back and take my motivation and place it into my work here. Later that night we
tausched back and went to institute. Also! Stig was there! The little Asian guy
that just came into the church!
Donnerstag: Went by on some more less actives and tons of
contacts. We have a few African contacts that we needed to give to the Elders.
So we went to their business and not kidding you...we walked into a room with
like 20 black guys. I've never felt so short and so white in my life! Ha! But
they are cool and we invited them all to soccer on Samstag! Then, later that
day we tausched again with the Stade Sisters. I went to Stade and went with
Sister Rückauer. She was my STL before we came here and I love her! We are also
the same age out on our missions and so we talked a lot about how we are kind
of just worn out. Always having to motivate ourselves, don't have that same
super good excitement that we see in trainee's! OH! This day we also ate with a
family that are from Ecuador! They are so cute and we taking their 15 year old
daughter with us this next Samstag!
Freitag: In Stade, we went through and called all the
contacts in their area book. Sis. Rückauer had a really good conversation with
someone and it was awesome!! Then, we tausched back and we started to do Weekly
Planning.
Sammstag: We had a lesson with Rene. We haven't seen him for
like a month! The ward thought it was a good idea if we handed over Rene to the
Elders. So...we did. Really sad because I have a love for these people. It's
hard to let them go. Then, we went to Lübeck to see a baptism! It was an
investigator that Sis. Sorensen taught! I love baptisms!
Sonntag: CHURCH!!!! You know how much I love it!! We had an eating
appointment and ate some kind of pork as usual.
Today we are going to see a famous church with a less active
girl that’s 18 and just moved into our ward. She's cool and I'm excited!!
You know...my focus has this last past month basically been
on myself...and that's not where it should be. Especially on a mission! I've
made a goal (surprise) to say at least one prayer every day that is just
praying for other people. So far it's been helping me to just enjoy my mission
more. Because then I'm not so worried about myself. Weird how that works
right?
Also, a little fun fact. Sister Sorensen has a guitar with
her and she plays a lot when we have lunch or dinner breaks and it is AWESOME!!
1- because that's how it always was at home! And 2- it's like having my own
personal radio!
I hope you have a wonderful week this week!! We have a super
busy week and will be headed to Berlin again for tausch with the Sister
Training Leader Trainers!
Remember that if you aren't happy, service always
works!!
Love you!! Liebe Grüße, Sister St. John
Back with my comp finally! We had a movie night! #legacy
