Wait, You Mean I need to Not Eat So Many Vegetables???



1 John 3
1 And it came to pass that in the days of her service to the Lord,
Sister John did spent much time preaching unto the people and bringing
them unto salvation.
2 And as she went among the people with her companion, Sister Jameson,
Sister John exhausted her strength and spent her time during lunch and
dinner stunde obtaining much rest.
3 And on the next day, she and her companion did meet with the Zone
Leaders to attend to their responsibilities as leaders among the
missionaries in the Frankfurt Zone of the Germany Frankfurt Mission.
4 As they attended to their responsibilities, it came to pass that
Sister John remembered that Elder Evans was a very intent man, and
very firm in the faith of exact obedience and Morgen Sport. So Sister
John took it upon herself to ask Elder Evans what she could do to not
be so tired all the time.
5 And it came to pass that Elder Evans did freu himself, and proceeded
to ask Sister John what she ate for every meal of every day and how
much protein she did consume on a regular basis. And as Elder Evans
and Sister John did counsel together, they did make a plan for Sister
John to consume more protein and nutrients and be more healthy.
6 And the Lord saw that it was good, and was pleased. 
7 And thus ends the third chapter of the Epistle of Sister John.


Yep, it has been unanimously agreed upon that I do not eat enough protein (or meat) in literally the land of sausages. Yeah..... But Elder Evans did help me come up with a plan to eat healthier and he has already been following up on it really well so everything should be getting back to normal and I should not be so tired. It's going to be another great week. :)

As far as this week goes, it was so good!!! The Lord has been putting prepared people into our path all week, and it has been so good. Zum Beispiel, today we met a man on the bahn who had been to the Tag Der Öffnen Tür (temple..... Open..... Thingy) when the Friedrichsdorf temple was first dedicated like, 14 years ago. And then he sat across from us on the bahn and started talking to us and we exchanged numbers with him and invited him to the Freiberg temple Tag Der Öffnen Tür even though it's way far away.  He was super happy, and said that he would read the Book of Mormon that he was given at the Friedrichsdorf temple and that we could totally meet later this week and talk some more about the church. He is a miracle, and he's totally going to get baptized. :)

We have had a bit of Streit between us and the Elders this past week.... But it's okay because Elder Sommer brought up a really good point as we were talking this last week. We don't come on missions to make friends. We come to serve the Lord and His people. And that is something that I could do better at focusing on, so I'm going to do that. Really focusing on the Lord and His people, and not so much on our relationships with the other missionaries. Which sounds harsh now that I write it out. But we're still going to be friends, and we're still going to focus on our sisters that we're allowed to look after. But as far as Elders go, I'm going to do what Elder Sommer said and just do the work. We'll see what happens.

Anyways, I'll make sure to put some photos in at the end of this email. I love you all! Have a great day, and a fantastic week! Don't forget that I'm rooting for you!

Liebe Grüße,
Sister John
