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 have gemiko [Ward Council] at like 8:30, Church at 9:30, Eating appointment right after that, then an hour to do family history, then sometimes more appointments.  We then usually have personal study in the evening.  So it is pretty busy.  I love it though. 

I've been doing a ton of family history lately.  Sister Koch's mom is pretty hardcore and so she shows me stuff all the time that her mom sends her and it is legit.  I have been finding a ton of names and also working on cleaning stuff up. It's been real cool to see this stuff and learn a lot.  We got to do an endowment session before MLC [Mission Leader Conference] on Friday and I got to do the endowment for one of my ancestors who had lived in Hannover so that was really cool.  We get to do a lot of temple work this weekend too.    I wanna find more of this and figure it out.  During Family History time yesterday I went through the family Facebook group to see what you guys have on there and I noticed you had a bunch of stuff you have shared with each other.  I spent some time in Grandpa's study journal from his mission and it was SO FLIPPING COOL I LEARNED SO MUCH WHAT EVEN.  I'm gonna download it on my phone when I get home and work on it it was super legit.  I can't wait to come home and find more and work on the temple work for everyone.  It is wonderful.  I'm excited about being close to the temple.  It's great!  The mission has been awesome. 

This was gonna be one of those long emotional beautiful emails but I seriously have so much that was so good I just don't have the time to write it all but it was amazing!  I LOVE YOU AND I WILL SEE YOU FRIDAYYYYY

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
