Servus!
This week was amazing
and sad. Let's start with goodbyes. Wednesday was transfer day, and so we said goodbye to Sister Pugh and Elder Scalese: two
missionaries whom I have been in Stuttgart with for 3 transfers (4.5 months). It
was so exciting for them though; they are both going to places they have never
been before!
Thursday we visited 2 older ladies in our Ward with the
Elders. It was so fun! The two
women have such strong testimonies and it brightened my spirits seeing their
faith and love of the gospel! It was also fun to see the contrast because one
was American, spoke English, and was very energetic. The other was German,
spoke German, and was very calm and collected, but they both could talk your
ear off. So sweet, I love visiting them!!
Friday we had 2 lessons, and from it we were able to find 4 new people interested in
learning about Jesus Christ!! In the first lesson we had a less-active and her
sister there, and we talked about the Godhead, and it was really good. She and
her sister even came to church, and then she brought a friend to FHE last
night!!! Our second lesson was with a Rehan, his brother, and his friend. We
introduced the Book of Mormon, and they loved that we had it in their original
language!! What a powerful message that is!! The Gospel will be taught to all
the world, in their own language!!
Saturday we helped a member write her talk because she was so nervous and neither
German nor English is her first language! We also had our Ausstellung (street display), and it was really cold, but we had some
good conversations and were able to share a little about what we believe with
some people! We got our name out there!! Saturday night we also got
to see Sister Harrick before she went home. Her parents came to
pick her up and she got to see 3 of her companions who are serving her in
Stuttgart, plus me. I was her Tausch companion once ;)
Sunday was
amazing!!! Mary (the sister of the less-active) came and
she brought her less-active sister!!! Then Rehan came and brought
his friend!! We were able to have a really good correlation meeting. Sister Woolsey
and I had a ton of energy and everyone seemed so happy ! The lessons were really good. A member came up and befriended
Rehan in Sunday School! It was so cool!! We then had a wonderful
member appointment afterwards and got to know the members even better! After
Church we had a lesson with Uche, and he says he seems
ready to meet us and learn! We are way excited!!
Monday we had a
Distrikt Meeting and FHE! So fun!!
This week I learned a
little more about patience and love. When we trust in the Lord's timing and
give our all to Him, He gives us what we need and desire in return! We just
need to stay faithful and keep pushing through the hard times in anticipation
of the good times!
Please pray for Mary and
Rehan and Uche
