Split with the the Hanau Sisters! Sister Baker is a gem and is SO happy! I hope I can be as happy as her someday. :) |
I have no idea how we're going to do it. We're going to the airport to pick up the new missionaries again. I'm so excited! Also, Sister Jameson is going to get to pick up her MTC companion! They both went to the Preston MTC and came out together, but this sister went home after one transfer. But now she's back! It's fantastic, and Sister Jameson is way excited. I promise to take pictures. :) We opened up five new sister areas this transfer, so that's crazy. We now have two more sister areas than we used to and they're both in the Friedrichsdorf Zone. Wetterau and Wetzlar sisters are a thing! I'm super excited!
It also means more splits, so that will be great. Stressful, but great. It will be super fun because we're splitting with the Wiesbaden Sisters first this week and Sis. Starry's trainer is going to be with us! Sis. Markl is going home this transfer, but because of some traveling among her family she'll be going home a week later than everyone else. So she'll be staying in a Dritt with us for a week! I'm way excited, and Sis. Starry is totally coming to Frankfurt for this split and it will be fabulous. :)
As far as work goes, we're kind of stuck. We need new investigators because the people we are teaching right now aren't progressing very well. But the Lord has been helping us out because we have talked to a TON of people in the past week, and some of them said they even wanted to talk again! We found two new investigators this week and it was amazing! I'm super excited to see what this week brings in the way of work. We keep seeing incredible miracles and amazing blessings. God is great, and He is most certainly helping us find His children. Two Elders that I became good friends with are going home this transfer. I'm kind of sad about that, but it will be fine.
We're meeting with one of our investigators tonight. He called us out of the blue Saturday evening. We had met with him at the beginning of the transfer and he seemed really great. Then we couldn't get contact with him for literally five weeks. We called him every day and he answered only twice. Then Saturday he calls us and thanks us for our persistence because he's been having a hard time in his life and he really just wants to know what God's plan for him is and he knows the Book of Mormon can help him and can we please help him, too? We're meeting tonight I'm so excited to help him find purpose in life and take those first steps on God's Plan for him. It's going to be so good. :)
I've been feeling tons better this last week. We learned how to make a SUPER YUMMY salad from a member this week. I will be making I when I get home. Also, red bell peppers are delicious and should always go in salads. And Feta cheese. And sometimes even tomatoes. But only sometimes, and only if they're good, cherry tomatoes. :P I feel so blessed to be a missionary. It is an awesome privilege. My district is great, my city is fantastic, and I have a great companion who I get to stay with for another transfer. I know this won't last forever, but I love it here.
I also love all of you. All of you who write consistently and inconsistently. Who always read and don't always read these emails. I love all of you, and I treasure the moments and times that we have had together. Remember that you are a beloved child of God, and He loves you. He rejoices in your successes and mourns over your losses. He wants the best for you. If you feel lost, just look for Him. Because His arm is always out-stretched to help you find the way back to Him and He is always doing something to help you see the way. The funny thing I've noticed these last few months is that I can't ever NOT find God in my life. He is a part of everything I do, and the more I look for Him, the more I find Him. That is a beautiful gift.
I love you. Please have a very fantastic day, and an incredible week.
Liebe Grüße,
Sister John
P.S. It's hard to read, but I still really enjoy English grammar mistakes. Also, I would not want to be the one to pick up some old person's teeth and turn it into the Lost and Found Office. Ew.
