August 8, 2016 - Freiberg Temple!

Hallo liebe Freunde!

So this week was super crazy! We had early transfers, but since I'm training, I didn't have a companion yet, so I got to go to Delingsdorf with Sisters Lichtenberg and Rose for a few days!

I'm working at the temple this week, and we had to be there early Saturday morning so I left to Freiberg on Friday. It was like a five hour train ride and I was by myself and had no idea what I was doing so that was fun. So we have been staying in Freiberg and will stay here until next week when we get our trainees! I'm super excited actually for training because it will be a lot of fun and I kinda know better what I'm doing and I have lots of good plans for Lübeck.

It's been super fun to get to know other sisters as I have stayed here and worked at the temple. On Saturday it was super special because we had a meeting with the members who would be doing the tours so we got to go through the temple to see it all and it was amazing! I'm so excited to share this opportunity with the people here and I know through the temple we can become closer to our Heavenly Father and receive so many blessings! I am so thankful for these opportunities!

For P day last week we went to the elder's investigator Nadita's house and cooked!

That picture was after a meeting we had with some of the members that were helping with the tours. It was fun to see some of the members from Leipzig too! The members are doing stuff inside and we are doing the video and pamphlets and greeting people so it's super chill but it's so cool. After the meeting we got to go through and it was so cool. Like the people here have been waiting so long and you walked in the front door and it's not even dedicated yet and you felt like you got hit by a ton of bricks. It was so cool we were one of the first groups to go through. It was. So. Cool.

I love you all!

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!

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
