The One with The World Cup

Hallo My Sun-Tanned Family! 

I was so grateful to hear about the fun that you had together! Though it might make me sad, but it didn’t! I hope you all feel rejuvenated and ready to tackle the world!!!

This week was awesome! We had our Zone Conference on Thursday and we all felt so much love from the Brown's because our mission was struggling a little bit as we mourned the early return home of some disobedient elders, but President and Sister Brown were right there to bring our big family together closer than ever! I was sad for the elders, but it taught me a lot about not judging people that go home early. The atonement is so real and we all have felt so much love for them as they start on the road back to healing in their homewards! I hope they can feel the power of a whole army of missionaries praying for them!

This week, we taught the Plan of Salvation A LOT! Sometimes it is hard to teach because you want to give them every aspect of the plan that makes it so perfect, but you have to start with the basics! It is so eye opening though. It is amazing how many people do not know what happens after this life. I am so grateful to be a messenger of this good news! 

I love you guys and I am so glad that you are home safe!

Love, JJ

- All the cows in Germany are Brown... just in case you are curious. They are BEAUTIFUL!!!

- We tried going dooring Sunday night and we found out REAL QUICK that that was a bad idea because the World Cup game was playing. The Germans were not too happy when we interrupted their Football! The whole ward is in mourning because apparently, they lost! It has been so fun, though, to see all the German flags everywhere!

- We joined our district with another district and instead of having them get tickets to come to Munich, we tried skyping them in, but the connection was not working... then, the other set of sisters in our district had to leave early for an appointment, but we are not allowed to have one set of sisters and one set of elders alone in the church building together so we had to take chairs outside to finish it! It was a great big, fun, memorable, mess!
