Read the Book of Mormon! It's True! 9/30/13

The district went up to a town called Schöllkrippen today. We didn't know what it was really...I'd heard it on the train stations a lot and so we just decided to hop on a train and go and see what was there! We hiked this...'mountain.' Mostly it was a hill. Anyway, it was really fun and gorgeous and Sister Beck sang The Sound of Music the whole time. And we ate wild blackberries all day because they were growing like crazy up on that mountain. It was super fun. But that meant a crazy day with like no time for emails, sorry! But now I will repent and email you all really fast.

It's been a really good week. We had Zone Training last Tuesday, which was fun, and tomorrow we have Zone Conference! WOOOO! And in Heidelberg too!! That is going to be so fun. We get to ride a fancy train tomorrow and I've heard Heidelberg is one of the most beautiful places in the mission, so that is going to be way awesome. We also have a split this week--I'll be staying here in Hanau, but it'll still be good. And we are PUMPED for General Conference! So we're probably going to Frankfurt to watch it. It doesn't broadcast at the church here because it's too small. But I was serving in Frankfurt in April and was able to watch the broadcast there no problem. Anyway, the times will be Saturday night, Sunday afternoon, and Sunday night. The Sunday afternoon session is broadcasted a week later during church. We are super super pumped and are trying to get a lot of people there. It's going to be such a busy week! October 3 is also this week, which is like the German 4th of July but bigger. So that'll be fun. TOMORROW IS OCTOBER. I just realized that. Howwwwww???

Anyway, we saw a lot of miracles with less active work this week. There are a couple people we're working with that I just love so much! I'm going to miss them so much when I get kicked out. The way missions work is this way: you are trapped in an area until you love it, and then you are kicked out. Heavenly Father only asks you to give up what you love, after all! Haha, no, jk, but...really, in a mission kinda. I was not pumped to be in Frankfurt, but as soon as I realized how much I loved Frankfurt, I was kicked out. But we'll see! I might be another transfer here in Hanau. That'd be fine!!

This week we also got to go up to the top 1/3 of the area, which was way fun. We were so close to being in the Berlin mission. That was cool! I've never been past Fulda, so it was cool to go wayyyyy out there. Only problem was driving home...only a couple hours, lol. But that was our cool adventure. We also went to a Catholic Bible Circle. That was fun, too...but lemme just say how grateful I am for the Book of Mormon, haha. It's true!!
