May 11, 2016 - Leipzig & Freiberg

Hello!

This week was wonderful!

On Wednesday we went to Berlin to pick up our new sister Sister Langner. She comes from Dortmund and is waiting on her visa to go to the Hawaii Honolulu mission! She is so sweet and is a wonderful missionary!

Sister Langner's first day in Leipzig!

So Thursday was Christi Himmelfahrt {Ascension day http://www.timeanddate.com/holidays/germany/ascension} AKA Buch Mormon Tag (Book of Mormon Day)-{Father's commentary: Because this Holiday has evolved to a lot of drinking and partying in the streets, the missionaries were asked to stay inside}. We read the Book of Mormon from 8:00-18:00. We invited Sophie and Rene to come read with us and they stayed for half the day which was awesome! Rene had a lot of questions and it was great to read with him and help him understand more.

Friday the missionaries from Halle and Groitsch came for district meeting and we talked about what we learned on Buch Mormon Tag!

District Meeting with Halle and Groitsch / fitting eleven people in the elevator was wild

Sunday was Mother's Day!! It was so wonderful to Skype with my family!

Monday we went to Freiberg to visit the temple with Rene. He loved it and thought it was super interesting. He wanted to know more about family history and what that's all about so we are going to help him get started on finding his family!

Temple trip with Rene!

Yesterday (Tuesdsay) we went back to Freiberg on Tausch with STL Sister Stephens and Sister Shoaf. It was super fun to meet people from Freiberg! We had an appointment with a less active member and went finding and it was a ton of fun!

Well I hope you all had a lovely week!

July 10, 2017 - Hannover - Last Email!

[Gabby's Dad here, I constructed the post below from emails she sent us this week. Since they were her last emails from the field I wanted to include them.] [Speaking of the heat in Utah] Oh no I'm gonna die when I get home. It's raining right now and it is great. 100 is too hot, help me. Today it is about 65 and it is beautiful. I'm in so much trouble! It's been a good week. I was kinda sad for a bit then I just realized all the stuff I have to get done and I don't even have time to get sad oops. It will be good. Church was also really great. I gave my testimony along with Elder Pruett bc he is also getting transferred and so that was neat. We had a really good Sunday school, and Mia was also there. She's been reading in the Book of Mormon and loves it. She has lots of good questions that are super deep haha so we have been working on that. We have an appointment with her tomorrow and i am really excited. We hav

June 26, 2017 - Hannover-Whitewashing & Hildesheim Castle

Hey friends! So I don't have a ton of time today, so it's gonna be short, and it's been a while but it's been really wonderful here in Hannover! We have been working hard and it's getting there. White washing is rough sometimes, and it gets discouraging when you don't have anyone to teach, but I have really learned here that the Lord watches out for you and blesses you in ways sometimes you don't recognize until later. We have had a lot of cool experiences and a lot of fun as well. Since I don't have a lot of time, I just want to let you all know how much the Lord cares for you and is there for you even when you may not notice until later. But He is there! I love you all!

Oh mannnnn This is crazy! I have gotten a trillion emails from the mission about finishing and I'm like NOPE haha naja [oh well] its okay. It'll be cool. Hannover is getting better. It's going well here. Still slow which sucks sometimes but it's picking up. We had two investigators at church yesterday and it was really cool. One just kinda showed up and wanted to check it out. So we sat with her and helped explain everything, and she stayed for all three hours and loved it. Sister Koch said she was just freuing herself [rejoicing] during my talk in sacrament meeting. (I'm so bad at giving talks in church it is terrifying.) Anyway, she was really excited during Sunday school and relief society too. She even stayed for the Elder's investigator's baptism and loved it. She's coming next week too. And the other investigator was a lady we have been trying to contact forever. And she is friends with a member, and he said to let us know when we
