Gabby's dad here, Gabby asked that I put together a post for her from the past couple weeks. She has been very busy. Below are some paragraphs from emails she has sent us over the past couple weeks and then pictures she sent us today.
Sister Skalka is awesome. We are having a great time. The work is going well. We actually have investigators it is great. We have this one Pieter, the one that we walked to go see, and he is awesome. He is super ready to learn more and he is the sweetest thing. We had a pizza party and talked about the plan of salvation and he is real excited. The branch is pretty good. We have eating appointments a lot and a lot of support.
Conference was so good though. We don't see the first sesh [session] wegen [because of] time zones and we didn't have time to make it to the Priesthood session but I wanna see it way bad. President called me yesterday and told me to listen to Elder Bednar's talk about getting reassigned but I haven't had the chance yet. It will be good though:) I have learned so much on my mission and its always something different each transfer or area or comp or whatever and it is so neat.
I'm doing pretty good. Now I'm in a dritt [3 missionaries together] in Osnabrück until tonight. So I'm with Sister Leavitt and Gladney and it's been pretty fun President's niece [Sister Gudnason] is coming tonight as a mini missionary and will be my comp until the end of the transfer so that will be fun.
Easter was really great. I spent it in Osnabrück
with the sisters there because Sister Gudnason had to leave. But it was a lot
of fun. We went to an eating appointment with the district President and the
Elders ans it was really great. Their ward is awesome. Church was really
awesome as well.
The week was good. I was excited because we are getting things going real well but guess what I'm getting transferred woohoohoo. I'm going to Köthen to be STL (Sister Training Leader)! I guess I'm excited? But actually not because I don't wanna leave bad bentheim. Things were going really good as well. Just kinda overwhelmed and upset to be leaving the area, especially our investigator Pieter. He is doing so well and i love him so much. We were supposed to have an appointment today but it fell out and I'm so upset but it's okay.

The week was pretty great. It was kinda crazy
haha. We were super busy. We had Zoko [Zone Conference] in Hannover, and we had an appointment
that evening, and because of the crappy train times we needed to drive. So
Wednesday we drove like two hours to Hannover for Zoko, but We needed to get
our tires changed as well. We could do it either in Hamburg or Berlin and we
were originally gonna go to Hamburg for Zoko but then they told us to go to
Berlin. So we had a road trip and drove across the country of Germany all
day just to get our tires changed what the heck haha but it was a lot
of fun. We had to leave at like 5:30 in the morning and I drove first and made
Sister Gudnason drive the second half because Berlin is insane. And she lives
in Berlin because she is President's niece and lives with them as their
babysitter and is used to it hahaha. And with Stau [traffic] and everything we drove
probably 12 hours the whole day. It was a lot of fun though. And so I got to
see a ton of friends who went to Hannover and Berlin so that was sick. The
meeting was super good too.
Sister
Gudnason is Here until Wednesday. Then I will go back to Osnabrück and stay
with the sisters there. She is so cute. She got home from the Alpine mission in
December so she was pretty excited to be a missionary again. It has been really
great. She kicks butt and is hilarious. We had an appointment with our
investigator Pieter and it was awesome. Last time we talked about the
Restoration and gave him a Book of Mormon. He had read a bit and this week we
reviewed it and watched the movie. It was awesome. He loved it so much and said
he understands a lot better. He is so great. He wanted to come to church really
bad but couldn't make it because he is in the Clinic in Hörstel and with the
trains and leaving times it just didn't work out. The last couple times we met
with him it was just kind of a kennen lernen [get acquainted] thing and just spiritual thoughts
and becoming his friend and now he is so close to progressing. If he could get
to church and we teach him a few more times then he will be there:) we are
gonna try to get him on Tauf Termin [baptismal appointment] soon. He is so ready and it is awesome. The
first time we met with him at the beginning of the appointment he didn't really
believe in God and it was kind of a maybe but I don't actually know thing, and
by the end of the appointment it he was kind of like, yeah why not I'm sure
He's there and this week he said he's been trying to pray more and he's like
yeah of course I believe in God. Like I love teaching investigators from the
beginning then you can really see those steps and their faith growing and with
Pieter it is so fast and it is so cool oh my gosh. It is really cool how you need each of your comps or you learn
something from each of them and stuff. I learned so much from Sister Carta even
though she was new to the mish [mission] she was so ahead of everything and kicked. Sister Skalka was awesome and even though we were together for just a
couple weeks, we got to be best friends. (Also cool bc she is from not far we can kick it). So yeah. It's been good.
