Monday March 14, 2016 Hamburg, Germany

Well folks, the sun does indeed exist in Hamburg!! It's beginning to look a little like Spring! Feel like spring...not so much! But look like spring yes!! :) 

My week! 

Dienstag: We went by some contacts and actually got in contact with a FAMILY!!! Except we need to go back cause the mom wasn't home. I'm pumped for that one though! We had ZTM and my trainee is awesome and got to give a thema with me IN GERMAN about daily planning. We are pros now! And we also had Nicola! Sch. Steinbieß came with us. I'm kind of frustrated because Nicola just won’t do anything we ask her too, but she's so good in lessons. I don't know what to do for people! 

Mittwoch: A less active appointment fell out...sad. We did some really good finding though! It was good to just have an hour or two for it. We actually ended up having a white day and it was super weird cause that happens how often these days...never! Man...those days in Halle where we just had day after day of finding! That was like Zion’s camp! (missionaries, please tell me you have seen this video!) 

Donnerstag: We had a less active that wanted to meet with us! So we went over and she is a little mentally ill, but it was good just to visit with her. When we train or are being trained we have an extra hour of studying for the 12 week program. It’s been really cool for me to go through that again this transfer and remember all the basics. We also tausched with Lübeck! I stayed here with Sister Bolinger and we taught Ken. We haven't met with him in forever but we are really trying to have him meet with us more regularly so he can start making some progress! 

Freitag: We taught Philippa because she was going to the temple later that day!! WHAT?!  SO exciting! And guess what?! We helped her print off 12 names from her own family tree to be baptized for! And those were just the women! I'll send a pic of her! We were so excited for her! We went by on a less active that doesn't live there anymore. This day during personal study I looked at my calendar and started crying. It hit...it finally hit that I’m actually coming home. I've been a wreck ever since. But I can usually keep myself together until the end of the day. So that's good! 

Samstag: Comfort! Who wasn't drunk! We taught her the first lesson and taught about how we made a promise at baptism and when we sin, we break it. The only way to renew that is through the sacrament. We also talked to Andrea about that this day also! It was really good and I haven't felt the spirit in lessons with them in a long time. We also did weekly planning which I began to not like again. I just want to be out doing stuff!!! 

Sonntag: church! It was such a good sacrament meeting for me! A seemly new returned missionary talked and I learned a whole lot! We ate with a newly married couple and that was also really fun! They are funny!! 

Well...I’ve been studying a lot about faith. Because I’ve been realizing that Sister Lichtenberg has a lot more faith than I do and when we have faith then miracles will happen! 

I love you and hope that you have a good week! Thanks for praying for our investigators! They are all suddenly doing a whole lot better! 

Liebe Grüße, Sister St. John
