Well...what do you get when you live next to the office and people are going home? Hotel duties. Aka, our apartment was transformed into a hotel for about 5 days ranging from 6 sister to 4 sisters and oh my goodness, does anyone get sleep? The answer is no. Hahaha.
ANYWAY...
Sometimes in Germany...to teach a less active you go running with them and then you can have a lesson. And sometimes you get a new distrikt leader because the other one went home. And sometimes you get referrals because they do Golden Finding in your area. And sometimes Bus Drivers know that you are a missionary and say, 'bye sisters!!' and SOMETIMES, you are put back with your trainer in about the same time of year that you were last year. Welcome Lankwitz. Which I still think should be named Lang Witz. Look it up on google translate.
Other than craziness that is Lankwitz, we had some really awesome lessons. I really enjoy teaching people about the Book of Mormon because it is just so true and so cool and Joseph Smith was write, a man will get closer to God with this book than any other book. Amen, Joseph Smith, Amen! Really, people, just read it and actually read it not just skim it and take Moroni's challenge and pray about it and you will see, it is the most true book than any other book on this planet! Honestly, I have found out for myself and you can find out for yourselves. You just have to read it. And pray. So cool.
Lots of learning experiences this week. Like...giving testimony in church without passing out. Yeah, that was cool. In German, so gar. And it was wonderful. Seriously, I think I will do that every month, it is so refreshing and it reminds us of what we really do believe in! It is a wonderful opportunity given to us! Also, coupled with fasting and we become so close to God in such a short time span, I am surprised that every relgion doesn't do that. Okay.
Also, I have found, that when one resolves to be obedient, because they want to, not because they have to, one finds that one's self is actually more free. For example. Speaking German 9-9 was something hard, but I decided, it doesn't matter if no one else will do it, or that it will be hard, I will do it! And you know what? The Lord has helped me see what I need to work on and has helped me be able to speak 9-9 and then have people tell me that they really like that I keep that rule. How cool?! OBEDIENCE BRINGS BLESSINGS. Really, without law, we are less free than with law. (Righteous law, not unrighteous.)
People. Missions are crazy and great and I pray that you are all having your own missionary moments and that I will be getting an inbox full of the experiences...any day now...:D
