Guten
Tag!!
Sonntag
was fast and testimony meeting and that was wonderful! Sundays are also
the best because we get to walk to the temple! We also had the Sunday
night Devotional and the speaker was Jenny Oaks Baker. I kind of died,
not going to lie. She is my favorite. Her husband spoke first about
missionary work and I learned a lot from his remarks. Then she spoke and
performed her violin with her kids. She spoke on lots of different
things, mainly about how the Lord has blessed her music career, and shared her
experiences with that. She also played a lot of pieces and it was
absolutely wonderful.
Monntag
was good, we didn't do a lot, really. We just had class most of the
day. We taught our Untersucher, Austin. Teaching is getting easier
each time so that is really good :)
Dienstag
we taught Austin again. We taught him about prayer and the Book of
Mormon. After we taught, we did evaluations with Brother Nielson and he
said it was our best lesson we have taught. I wasn't too confident in
that one, but he felt it went well, so we knew what to do next time :)
That evening, we had the Tuesday night Devotional where we sung at, and
we sang Be Still, My Soul. It was so good, and it's one of my favorite
hymns, so of course I loved it. The speakers were Sister and Elder Dube
from the Seventy. Devotionals are my favorite because we hear from lots
of General Authorities and it's like having General Conference every
week! It's the best! They both spoke on missionary work, and I
learned a lot.
Mittwoch
really nothing happened. We taught a lesson but it wasn't nearly as good
as the one from Dienstag. So that was really frustrating. I
couldn't remember much vocab and it was really scattered. But it was
okay. We learned what we want to fix and that's good.
Donnerstag
we didn't do much either. We had a lot of class and study time so that's
always good. We made lots of goals as a district and that was good.
But nothing really happened.
Freitag
was so much better. We taught Stephan and it was so good! The
Spirit was there so much better and our German was so much better. He is
keeping his commitments to stop smoking and is coming to church with us on
Sunday :) After that, we had TRC (teaching recent converts), and we
shared a message about charity and love with two brothers. It was really
good. I love TRC because it is really fun to teach people who aren't just
our teachers pretending to be someone else and it's so fun to get to know them
and hear their stories. Also we had four square of course, and that was
insane. It is so intense and it's a lot of fun. While we were at
dinner yesterday, I was talking to the Armenian Elders and we were talking
about Narnia Holes, which are so cool. They are holes in the walls
thought the residence halls, where people put stuff. So I was sitting in
my room eating my hot pocket at my desk and I looked up and I saw the
electrical panel, and I remembered about it. So I opened it and we found
a note in there from an elder in 2002 and so we all put our names and missions
and dates in it and sealed it back up. We went in another districts room
and found one and it had two ties in it, so that was fun.

Well I'm
learning a lot but I'm about half way done and in about three weeks I will be
in Germany! I can't wait! I know that this church is true and I'm
learning so much! I also would love to hear from you all! I love
you all so much!
