The One with Fasching

This week has been great!

It has been filled with tons of traditions and tons of changes! 

I am staying in my area here in Singen. My new companion is Sister Lohner from Provo Utah. She is the most down to earth person ever! She is so sweet. The first day I thought that she had to be faking it because no one could be that nice but turns out that it is possible! It has been interesting making the changes necessary when you change companions, but Sister Lohner is great. I actually gained a lot more confidence this week. I realized that I can speak more German that I thought! 

Sister Lohner and I are so stoked to help our ward. I actually feel like I am starting to be able to do missionary work now that I am starting to get my feet under me!

Fasching has been crazy!!! I do not have much time to explain it, but it is like a week-long Halloween, but everyone goes crazy OVERBOARD!!!! I love it! It kind of killed our finding because no one was in the right mindset to hear the Gospel... BUT it was a great conversation starter to do train contacting! SOOOOO CRAZZZYYYYY!!!! 

I love you all! Please know that I pray for you and I am always so grateful for all of your support. I am trying to be better every day! 

Love, Sister Reay

Random thoughts:

- We had to clean mold this week... GROSS!!!! 

- For Fasching, they carry a tree around the town and then thy set it up by hand

- Today, we carried 5,000 lbs of groceries for like 5,000 miles to the Train station and my arms seriously felt like jello

- I accomplished one of my mission goals this week because my companion told me that I slept talked in GERMAN!!! How cool is that!?! I almost cried because I was so excited!

(So sorry for how short this email was, but we had a couple of member appointments today, so we did not have much time!)
