First things first – transfers!!!
I will of course be staying her in Salzburg because Sister Miller is being
"transferred" to America. She flies home on Thursday!!! Crazy!!!
I will be getting the amazing Sister McClellan! She is from Mapleton, Utah!!
You all will have to stay tuned for more information next week!
Tausch – Our tausch
ended up being shorter than planned, but I was with Sister Church, which was
way fun because her trainer was also companions with me (remember that
emergency transfer?? We were the ones who switched places). So that was way
fun! We went finding and did street ingredients and bussing and dooring!!!! So
much fun!!!
Sleepover – after stake
conference we had six other Sisters in our apartment because our stake is so
big!!! It was one big party!! Sister Miller made everyone a traditional dinner
called Maltaschen from scratch!
Pfahlkonferenz (stake
conference – as members of the Church we have a geographical area we belong to
where we attend church every Sunday. These areas are grouped into units
called wards. Wards are grouped into stakes. Every stake meets twice a year together
at a stake conference where talks are given, etc. It's a great time to sing,
learn and worship together in a larger than normally possible group).
The President over all
of Europe for our Church spoke at stake conference. His name is Elder Kearon.
What he talked about is what I wanted to share with you!!!
God loves us and He is
so so so very patient with us! Imagine how you feel when you look at your child
(if you have one, or another family member). Imagine all of the love that you
have for that child! You can't imagine ever loving anyone more and then you
have another child and your love grows. I experienced this when my uncle
started having kids. I didn't know if I
could love another person in my family but I did and then I did again! It's
like magic!! That is how our Father in Heaven feels for each and every one of
us!!! He loves us so much that He sent His Son to come and make an eternal
sacrifice so that we can overcome our mistakes and return to Him. No matter
where your goal is or whether or not you think you have "made it,"
there is still ways to grow and improve. They are patient with us, they want us
to improve and endure. I know that we can, we just need faith, patience and
humility. I promise you that as you seek to come closer to Christ, He will lift
you and carry you. We can do it! We can improve, WE CAN DO IT!! Rely on the
Lord and help each other, we are all in this together!!
I love you all, keep the
faith, and stay strong!!
Alles Liebe
