Crazy Weather in Germany 6/10/13



It's been such a long, crazy week! The weather has been two extremes. It's been SUPER hot and humid for a couple days, but then the other day it started raining like crazy. It's nice to have the cool-down. The only downside to the hot weather is that it's sticky heat that you can't get rid of, and we walk around a lot, so we're just walking and are sticky all over. But it's better than walking around in the freezing cold rain! Germany doesn't know what it wants, haha. It has been flooding a lot in southern Germany. We're completely 100% fine here, but southern Germany is crazy right now. Scary! Hope the missionaries down there are doing okay. 

Transfer Day
I'm already on my third transfer...grossss. I just got here yesterday! And yeah, we recite D&C 4 every Zone Training and Zone Conference. We recited it every day at the MTC. We also have a short lesson about it every week in District Meeting! Lol, D&C 4 is ingrained into my soul right now. German and English. Oh, speaking of new transfer, I'm going away from Frankfurt!! :( I'm going to miss it so much. I'm going to open Hanau with Sister Wilson, a Sister who was in the MTC with me. I am soooo sad to be leaving Frankfurt and Sister Imbach. We had so much fun together! But I was just in Hanau last week for PDay, so maybe it was a sign! Lol. But hopefully it'll be good. The Bishop from Hanau called me yesterday and has already set up an appointment for us on Friday, the day after transfers, so that is a super good sign. That's my sad face when I found out I was leaving Frankfurt (the map of it is there. Auf Wiedersehen, liebe Frankfurt!!).


Also it was ward conference yesterday, and the Stake President was there. He is brand new, only a month or so, but he gave an AMAZING talk. It was basically a call to repentance, haha. He read 2 Nephi 1:23 and talked so much about missionary work and how it is a commandment to share the Gospel. We LOVED it. Well, the missionaries. We'll have to see about the members! Haha. But yeah, then afterward we had Ward Council, and the Stake President was there, and he was very serious. It wasn't just talk. He got some names from the Bishop and assigned people to visit them that night. Sister Imbach and I went up to Bad Vilbel to visit someone. I'm really excited for this stake. The presidency is serious about changing it. He talked about something that President Kimball said once. "In Germany, Switzerland and in Austria, there will be hundreds of stakes, HUNDREDS! And we want you to count on that, look forward to it and help with it. In Europe there can also be dozens of temples if you start to prepare yourselves and the people around you." So the stake president told us that the time is now--we just have to qualify for those blessings. We're just praying a lot for these members here! 

Everything is going really great over here. I'm just sad to be going. But it's where the Lord needs us! So I just have to find out why I need to go to Hanau right now. 

Our District

It's going to be a crazy great week! We're just praying that we can get everything done in time before I leave on Thursday. I'm going to miss everyone here so much! I'll take a picture with one of our investigators this week. Oh man...he is just crazy. I'm so sad to leave him! But yeah, it's been a great, hot, cold, crazy week. Sister Imbach and I are going to take naps today. Yaaaay!
