Hello family and
friends,
Transfer calls on
Saturday...... who knows?!?!?!
Bus Contacting – Sharon
So this
week we were trying to figure out how to find new investigators because we seem
to be running an all-time low of people to teach. As I was praying one night I
got the distinct impression that the elect for us at this time, are on the
buses and trains that we ride. Because of other appointments that we have, we
don't have a ton of time to go dooring
or streeting and therefore because of
our other appointment we are on trains all of the time! The only problem is
that I am awful at train and bus contacting – so the Lord said that's why you
need to practice.
So having
not told my companion about my prayer, the next morning she was using German In
Review (the German grammar book all missionaries have) to start conversations,
and one girl starts helping her, and then they start talking, and by the end we
have her number! We invited her to the Relief Society activity in the evening
and she CAME!!! Please pray for Sharon!! *side note: Sharon thought I was a
German when we first met, I was speaking to her in German and apparently I
spoke so lightly and easily that she thought I was German. She was even
explaining what she did as a job to me in German and then translated it for my
companion (she knew my companion was learning German because of the book
earlier). It wasn't until I brought up New York and said I was from
there!
God bless America!
So for P-day we went to
the American base and played sports and ate at the food court!

It was really fun to be in America for a few hours! We played Ultimate frisbee
(So fun!!! )
And then Sister C.
taught us a BYU cheer and we learned how to cart-wheel.
We also got to help
Sister S. with shopping at the Commissary (military grocery store).

Evening!
Last night we decided to
text a bunch of people about Institute tonight, and one of the girls responded
and said she could come tonight, but she couldn’t last night. So she came to
FHE with her friend, and it was really fun to meet them and talk to them. We ate
food and played games and talked about learning piano together!! We are excited
to see them come to more activities like FHE and Institute!!
Second talk in this
ward! 
I gave a talk on
Sunday. It was really spur of the moment (we found out Saturday night),
but I felt like the Spirit really stepped in and helped me prepare something.
The talk and words seemed to just flow together! I hope I got my message across—it
was really cool! The email with my talk is coming soon, translated :)
An add-on sent in a
separate email: On Saturday, I got to watch a friend from Salzburg
get baptized. She was a woman I helped
teach. Sister McClellan and I were there when she first came to church and when
we invited her to pray about a date to be baptized! It was amazing to watch her
enter the waters of baptism (through Skype of course!) Congratulations
Elena!!!
Alles Liebe
