Cassidy Nichole: Monday March 28, 2016 Hamburg, Germany

Well, this week the thing that I've been learning is that this is the Lord's work. I went on tausch twice this week. The last Tausch that we went on was with Sister Simpson and she and Sister Lichtenberg are both 4 weeks out and they were just on fire! They found 3 new investigators this night! Ok...mind you that they are literally 4 weeks out! That's it! Their German is way better than mine was, but not good enough to convince anyone with just their German. But they found 3 investigators! It is really just a testimony builder to me that it's truly the spirit that touches people!

We had another cool experience this week where a member invited a past investigator over and we had a wonderful how to begin teaching lesson! Sister Lichtenberg shared a beautiful testimony and it's amazing, cause in lessons her German improves like 100%! Just another testimony that the Lord can do his work. Yes, we will be the agents he uses, but He can do his work, and when we are striving to have the Spirit with us he will do his work!

Someone asked me today what the most important thing was that I've learned on my mission. I've been thinking about that a lot lately. I think the most important thing I've learned is to trust God, to have confidence in Him. To just trust that He knows what He's doing! To trust and just go for it. You get a spiritual prompting, you go for it. You get and answer, you do it. Through that, I've learned to have confidence in myself, and for the right reasons! Non of this worldly confidence. Because it's the spiritual confidence that really helps. God cares way more about us than we think He does. He has a perfect love and understanding for us! We are here on the earth to learn and grow (I lacked in that area a little bit;) but also to have joy. We will have the greatest joy in life when we trust in Him!

I love you all so much! Only 2 more full weeks here in my mission! I'm going all out! We have crazy busy weeks and I'm very excited to make them the best weeks yet! Have a wonderful Springy week and I'll write next week!

Liebe Grüße, Sister St. John
