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!

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!   Lg, Sister Hammer PS sorry for the overload of pictures this is literally the first group email I've sent this transfer...

June 19, 2017 - Hannover

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 m...

May 29, 2017 - Köthen - 👻👻👻

So this week was pretty busy, mostly with the normal stuff, also consisting of Zone Pday in Leipzig, getting insanely sunburnt, the normal appointments each week, biking 17 Kilometers on Christi Himmelfahrt  [Ascension day], because of an appointment and the train not opening when we needed it to and getting taken to the next dorf, and MLC (Mission Leader Conference) in Berlin.  We had a great time this week, and I don't have much time to write, but I do have pictures.  FYI We also received our transfer calls, and I will be going to Hannover with Sister Koch! I'm pretty excited! I'm honestly heartbroken to leave Köthen and getting transferred so often is actually really hard, but I'm excited anyway! Well I have you all love! Bis nächste Woche [until next week]! Sister Hammer  Schwester Jarmuszkiewicz 💕 Berlin All the missionaries from our group at MLC :) I absolutely love this district oh so much Diebzig Zone P-day...
