December 12, 2016 - Gera - 🎅🏻🎅🏻🎅🏻

Hey friends! So this week was pretty great. It's still a bit slow and we've spent a lot of time trying to call people and go by on people.

It's not too bad but sometimes it is just so slow ya feel like you're not accomplishing much. But it helps to look for the good though. Some good stuff from this week:

Had a really good visit with Schwester Bromme and her husband. They are absolutely wonderful. We've been trying to visit the entire ward and we are seriously so blessed with such great members I love them so much.

We've gone caroling around Gera and Zwickau to visit members and try to find people. People really love it. We never found anyone but they loved it anyway and music always brings the spirit.

We had a wonderful visit with Schwester Kretschmar and had lunch with her. We visit her pretty much every week and it is so neat to get to know her and learn all about the time here when she was younger and served her mission in the DDR.

Sunday we watched the First Presidency Christmas devotional after church and it was really lovely. We also finally got a ward mission leader, Bruder Alperstädt!

Well this week we are going to the temple and I am so excited it's not even funny. Also btw it is transfers. Sister Carta and I are staying in Gera :)

Thank you for your love and support Ich habe euch alle Lieb:) [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
