March 27, 2017 - Bad Bentheim

Pretty great week, we've had some pretty crazy adventures.

We have been busy visiting contacts and investigators. We've had some appointments fall out, but all is well.

The Elders came with us to our appointment with Sanga, where he made us Fufu. He made it with fish and chicken and it was quite the Erlebnis [experience]. We also had an appointment with our investigator Pieter, who is currently in the Krankenhaus [hospital] in Hörstel, but the problem was, we are out of Kilometers for the month, and the bus system here is crap. We didn't want to cancel, because we feel he is finally ready and we have that trust and friendship and we want to meet with him as often as possible. We wanted to bike, but we don't know which bikes in the Kellar [basement] are ours. So we walked. There and back was about 20 kilometers but it was so worth it. We had a great lesson about the plan of salvation and it is great how everything works out.

God loves us so much, guys.

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...

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...
