August 14, 2016 - Freiberg - Überzieschuhe

Hallo!

So this week was pretty great! I've been in Freiberg still and it has been wonderful! Tuesday was super cool. It was Harvest day which was so cool. We all fasted that we would find a new investigator so we did so. I didn't find anyone personally but we talked to lots of people and invited them to the temple. The only problem was pretty much the entire city of Freiberg already knows about it so that was rough. But it was pretty fun because it was different.

President and Sister Fingerle were in town and we were out and Sister Fingerle calls and wanted to go finding with us so that was different. I went first and it was actually pretty fun. We went up to the university and talked to students there. It was fun except our focus was inviting people to the temple and literally everyone in Freiberg already knows about it so that was rough. But we talked to a ton of people and it was super fun.

So here at the temple we have been working with the video rooms and also we have been doing shoe covers, or the Überzieschuhe. So that has been super fun, and on Saturday as I was working in the video room and a ton of members from Leipzig which was so exciting, then Rene showed up! He got so excited to see me so as soon as the video was over I left for lunch but instead of eating I ran over to the front of the temple and jumped in line with Rene and the rest of the ward and I got to go through the temple with him. Back in Leipzig we went on a temple trip before the open house and he loved it so going inside with him was the best day of my life. He loved it so much and it was the best surprise ever.

This week we get our trainees and return to our areas so I'm super excited! Well I love you all so much!

Liebe Grüße

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...

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...
