Lübeck

Hallo!!

Es geht sehr gut heir in Lübeck! Heute haben wir putzen und einkaufen gemacht. Nicht viel. Heute wird ein bisschen kurtz sein weil wir gehen nach Berlin heute Abend. Ich bin begeistert weil es ein Austausch mit dem STLTs ist.

Wir versuchen nur Deutsch zu sprechen, aber normaleweise sprechen wir Deutsch 9-9. Weil die Sisters haben die Gelegenheit im Tempel zu arbeiten, Präsident hat uns eingeladen nur Deutsch 24/7 zu sprechen. Es ist schwer aber wir können es machen!

Wir haben nur eins Gemeinde hier in Lübeck aber es ist ein wunderbares Gemeinde! Gestern habe ich in Abendmalsversammlung auch gesprochen. Es war über Matt. 18. Ich hatte bescheid nur an Freitag bekommen...es war spass...und auch habe ich das Orgel in Abendmalsversammlung gespielt. Ich habe keine anung wie es zu spielen...ich habe die erste Lied gespielt und es war so laut. Ich habe viele Fähler gemacht aber es war okay. Ich spiele auch Klavier auch in FHV. Es gibt nur eins Schwester in die Gemeinde die Klavier und Orgel spielt. Heute werde ich mehr spielen und probieren denke ich.

Hello!!

It's going well here in Lübeck. Today we cleaned and went shopping. Not much. Today will be a bit short since we are going to Berlin this evening. I am excited because we are doing an exchange with the STLTs (Sister Training Leaders).

We are trying to speak only German, normally we speak German from 9am-9pm. The sisters have the opportunity in the temple [open house] to work. President has invited us to speak only German 24/7. It is difficult but we can do it!

We have only one ward here in Lübeck but it is a wonderful ward! Yesterday I also had to speak in sacrament meeting. It was about Matt 18. I only found out on Friday. It was fun. I also had to play the organ in sacrament meeting. I have no idea how to play, I played the first song and it was so loud. I made a lot of mistakes but it was ok. I also play piano in Relief Society. There is only one sister in the ward that plays piano and organ. I think I'll play more today.

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...

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...

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 h...
