January 16, 2017 - Gera



Hello Friends! 

This week was really great. And also really cold. 

Monday for P-Day we wanted to visit a castle. But considering it was crazy snowy from Sunday and super cold, we decided not to. It was a really good idea. So we sat inside and didn't do anything. 

Tuesday we met with a previous investigator, Aleena! She is from Ukraine and she is so sweet. She talked a lot about reincarnation and stuff like that. It's pretty interesting but doesn't make a lot of sense. We will have to work on that. We also brought by a Book of Mormon that evening. She didn't have one before apparently, so hopefully she will read and find some answers. 

Wednesday was super. We had an appointment with an inactive sister, Schwester Riemann. She is so wonderful! We want to work on getting back to church, but right now she just needs some love and support. We will get there. We also had an appointment with a new investigator, Katrin! She is very excited about learning more. She asked a lot of questions and also found the whole missionary program very interesting. We gave her a Book of Mormon and she was really excited and wanted to show her husband as well. So that is really cool. 

Thursday we had an appointment with Schwester Kretschmar. She's doing wonderful as always. We were also on Tausch. Sister Darton came to Gera and it was a wonderful time. I also taught her how to play the piano. She was so excited it was the best thing I have ever seen. 

Then on Friday we went to Schwester Dörlitz's place for lunch like normal. It was glorious. She made Rouladen and Rot Kohl[pickled red cabbage]. So. Much. Food. She kept leaving to get us more and Sister Darton was praying for the strength to eat all of it it was so funny. But it's so real she feeds us so much.

Saturday we went to her Birthday party and it was great. A bunch of the ward was there and we just had a grand time. They had a whole program/concert deal going on and we sang some songs for it so that was pretty fun as well. Naja,[oh well]  it was a lovely week. We're slowly getting there and I'm really excited. Bis nächste Woche [until next week]!

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...

May 29, 2017 - Köthen - 👻👻👻

So this week was pretty busy, mostly with the normal stuff, also consisting of Zone Pday in Leipzig, getting insanely sunburnt, the normal appointments each week, biking 17 Kilometers on Christi Himmelfahrt  [Ascension day], because of an appointment and the train not opening when we needed it to and getting taken to the next dorf, and MLC (Mission Leader Conference) in Berlin.  We had a great time this week, and I don't have much time to write, but I do have pictures.  FYI We also received our transfer calls, and I will be going to Hannover with Sister Koch! I'm pretty excited! I'm honestly heartbroken to leave Köthen and getting transferred so often is actually really hard, but I'm excited anyway! Well I have you all love! Bis nächste Woche [until next week]! Sister Hammer  Schwester Jarmuszkiewicz 💕 Berlin All the missionaries from our group at MLC :) I absolutely love this district oh so much Diebzig Zone P-day...

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...
