June 6, 2016-Leipzig

Okay so my new Companion is Sister Gines from St. George and she's great! Training is pretty fun. I guess. Haha I have no clue what I'm doing but it's working. German is hard and I pretend a lot but I mean I know more than I thought I did and when you have to, it comes and when it doesn't you just smile and say 'ja' a lot haha.

So right after [I got my new companion] we were running with the train we met this guy Pablo.  He walks up to us and he's like. "do you guys speak English"? and we were like, "yeah man" and he asked us about some train and we were all "I dunno man, sorry".   He said,  "it's okay".  Then [he] asked what we were doing here so we talked about it and he was into it and he's like, "yeah man I'm leaving for a week but I'll be back next week" and he wanted to meet with us. So he gave us his number and we are going to call him next week so that was legit, sister Gines was here for like five minutes and we already had a new contact! 

On Thursday, we visited Schwester Bösebeck and helped her put those stickers on her scriptures. Naja [Well], it was pretty fun. We printed out a trillion flyers for English and German courses [that we offer at the institute] and have been stuffing mailboxes like crazy so that's fun.

So on Saturday we were getting ready to leave to prepare for the baptism [I will have pictures next week] and we locked our keys in the apartment so we had to try and get it open with a card and we were working on that for a solid hour and we got nothing so that was lame. So we went to prepare for the baptism and ended up calling half the ward to find the spare key and so we eventually found it which was super lucky.

Well Rene's baptism was wild but it was so good! I've learned that I know more German than I thought but mostly I just smile and pretend hahahaha.  I did decide I'm never planning one over a transfer again because it was kinda a mess but it went and that's what matters. He loved it. The ward gave him a triple combination and a Gospel principles book and we gave him a copy of pmg [Preach My Gospel] so he is so excited about that. 

Today for p-day we didn't do much. We pretty much just kinda hung out really. But it was good!

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!   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 member, and he said to let us know when we
