As you know, I was kind of a travel gypsy this week! Going from one city to another with a couple different companions. Monday through Thursday I was with Sister Curry in Freiberg. I got to see all of the finishers before they went home and also Frau Dhillon and LUCY!!! So that was really fun! Sister Curry and I also gave about 6 or 7 temple place tours where we explain why we have temples and what they are etc. One of the tours was to Sister Kronwitter’s parents. It was one of the coolest experiences that I have had while being here. They are not members and this was one of the first times they had really gotten to know what the temple was all about. After we watched a little video we asked them how they felt. They both said that they felt peaceful and that they could imagine that's how it feels inside the temple. Super cool to see the Spirit work on people.
On Thursday we got our companions! Sister Lichtenberg is
wonderful and was speaking German with me right from the start! We got to spend
one more night in Freiberg together with Sister Curry and her trainee. The next
day we DROVE!! (I love being in a car!) to Berlin and Sister Curry and I went
to MLC. Our little comps went out on the streets in Berlin and just talked to
people! Totally awesome! I would have been terrified! But they said it was fun!
Then, we took a train back to HAMBURG! Finally!! The Elders were nice and
helped us with the suitcases all the way up our 75 stairs!
Samstag: We tried to pack a whole weeks’ worth of stuff into
one day and surprise, we were late to everything! It worked out ok and we got a
few good lessons in!
Sonntag: Sister Lichtenberg gave an awesome testimony in
sacrament meeting! We had a good lesson with David, asked him what he expected
from us meeting with him/the purpose of him meeting with us. He uh...didn't
know. So we told him to pray and think about it and we will talk to him next
week about it! (BAPTISM!!!!) I feel like he could get baptized before I leave!
Pray for him!
As of today...I may or may not have sent an almost 20 pound
package home! It has all my study journals, presents from ward members,
letters, pictures, planners, chocolate, ect. All in there! Pray that it doesn't
get lost! It could also very well get there after I get home! (That would be
funny!) We are planning on going to Ikea and getting food there and just
chillin! (Plus I love looking at house stuff so why not go there?)
I hope you have a fantastic week! I’m learning a ton about
the basics of missionary work. It's bringing back many memories of me when I
was brand new! It’s always good to go back to the basics. There's a talk from
Pres. Uchtdorf about keeping things simple. Remember to keep it simple and
remember the things that really matter!
Love You!
Liebe Grüße, Sister St. John
Sister Curry and me!
Look who it is! Lucy! Just like old times!
Snowy Freiberg!
This is Sister Sanders. She's serving with her husband in Dresden and I met her
in Freiberg. She knows both sets of grandparents cause she lived on the same
street in Orem! She's in the process of translating some records from my
ancestors from old German to English! Cool!
We helped a cute family this week!
