March 20, 2017 - Bad Bentheim Week 1

Hey everyone! 

This last week has been really great. We have been super busy and it is wonderful. We wanted to visit as many members as possible before we left, so Monday afternoon we had an appointment with the Benedikt Family. We had planned a Thema [discussion] and were all ready to go but when we got there, Schwester Benedikt was so excited because she wanted to practice her Visiting Teaching message on us, so she did the Thema. That was a bit different and a lot of fun. Right after that, we went to the Kosak's place for Family Home Evening and had a really great Thema there as well.

Tuesday we continued packing between appointments because we were so busy all day. We visited Schwester Heiland because she had been out of town forever and she was finally home, and we also had another appointment with Klaus and got ice cream. Went well. Then dinner with the Krause's.

Wednesday we had Breakfast with the Kosak's! It was a really wonderful end to the transfer. Then we left and were on the train allllll day. 

So Friday during weekly planning, we called up a less active, Sanga. We were gonna make an appointment and he just wanted to meet then. So we went to the library, and he ended up bringing a friend, Friday. We ended up teaching him the first lesson, and he asked for a Book of Mormon and was real excited when we had one for him. He was super excited when we said he could learn more and we could meet with him, and he told us he is in Rheine five days a week. 

Saturday we had an appointment with Immanuel, an investigator. He is so wonderful, he told us he just wants to do all he can to follow God. Sanga was also dabei [along], and he just kept saying, how Immanuel is here because Sanga brought him, but Immanuel kept saying that he just wants to follow God and he will with or without Sanga. We invited them both to church, and they both came!
Immanuel really liked it, and he is so prepared. He just wants to do what he can to follow God.

Sunday night we went and visited Pieter, another investigator. It was our first actual lesson with him, and we taught the first lesson. I gave him a Book of Mormon and he was so excited to read. At first, he wasn't real sure if he believed in God, but by the end he had asked so many questions, and the spirit was so strong, he was so excited to read in the Book of Mormon and learn more. He texted us later that evening thanking us so much that we helped him find happiness. It is crazy how much Heavenly Father loves us and blesses us and His children. I am so excited to serve them here in Bad Bentheim.

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!   Lg, Sister Hammer PS sorry for the overload of pictures this is literally the first group email I've sent this transfer...

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
