Well good morning my lovely
fam!
"I will stay
where you want me to stay dear lord"
WE GOT TRANSFER CALLS!
A bit surprising... I will be staying in Tubingen! That means I could most
likely finish my mission in this area! I was not sure what to think after I
found out but all it took to convince me was telling Evelyn! We told her we
would be staying together at the bus stop, waiting to go to church, and she
literally screamed and danced in circles! It was the cutest thing on the face
of the planet. We are going over to teach her and Jurgen tonight so wish us
luck! I love, love, LOVE Sister Magleby so I am excited that we get to stay
together!
Okay, last week I told
you about a girl named Sara that I met at our street display from Romania. Well
we met with her twice this week and she has had such a wonderful impact on my
life. She is the humblest human being. She is struggling temporally right now
so we invited her to come have lunch with us! A member took us to the local
protestant church for lunch because they do a program one week out of the year
where they turn their church into a cafeteria and they feed everyone that comes
in and they just put donation boxes on the table so that the poor people are
able to eat and only pay what they can offer. I will never forget watching Sara
reach into her pocket and putting her 3 pennies into the donation box. It was
a present day "widow's mite" experience. The second time we met
her, we gave her a Book of Mormon in Romanian and she got tears in her eyes.
She went back to Romania on Saturday and we are going to send missionaries to
her house to teach her in her mother tongue!
We have started
working with the Young Women since Letizia, Evelyn's daughter, is 12 and we
LOVE IT! The YW's president in an RM and she is way excited to work hand in
hand with us! We are going to be working a lot with the youth this transfer and
helping some of the young women return!
Last P-day we went to
a big Dirndl outlet store with some members from America. Sister Rhodes wanted
our help finding her a dress! It was so much fun. We wore our dresses to church
on Sunday!
This week I began to
have a better grasp at how beautiful this mortal experience is. When things get
hard or it is difficult to see the silver lining, I just have to remind myself
to be grateful to be here on this beautiful planet with breath flowing in my
lungs.
Life is beautiful!
