Hallo,

Sorry this is a little later than normal! We had a fun time with our district in Reine at the Zoo. It was pretty fun we got to see a sea lion show and also we got to play with some monkeys. t. However it was fun and then we realized that we had a 45 min walk and only 30 mins to get to the train station so we ran there... I was a hot mess on the train it wasn't fun and I felt like I was going to die. I think ladies can definitely say that running in boots is an adventure.

So this week was full of Miracles. To start off we had such a fun time last Monday in Hannover. I got to see some cool sites and then we got to meet with some really cool people. One of the best things about exchanges is that we get to learn from other people about how to be better missionaries. I learned so much from sister Larte. She really reminded me of Sister Molinari. She is totally the Blake version of Kirstin. It was so much fun. One thing I really took from her was how to be a more personable missionary. Then on Tuesday we found out sister Blake and Sister Kenecht didn't make the train. So they ended up coming in an hour late and we ended up getting home around 10:00pm haha! Everyone was really excited to see that we were alive the next day.

Wednesday was my birthday and seriously that was so much fun. Sister Blake and the Elders and the Ward are the best. To start off she made me pancakes in the morning then she surprised me with a few things one of them being the package that Mom and Dad sent. Thanks By the Way I love everything that was in it. The cloths fit great and the Candy is schon gone! haha Oreos I am trying to save they are my fav. Anyways yes that morning was a blast then we had district meeting and the zone leaders were there and that was fun too. We ate some cake afterwards! YUM oh ya mom you would be proud to know that I also made you mayo cake for later that day it was super yummy and everyone loved it. We had some great lessons and then we met by the church for a surprise birthday party for me! YAYa my branch is awesome Then Bruder Habermann showed me the video from you! Loved it.  It made my night! Seriously spending you birthday in the service of God is totally worth it! lol. The rest of the week went great too!! We had some pretty amazing miracles happen as well. One of them being Martina. She has been on vacation for the last month and we have no way to contact her. We didn't know when she was coming back and we were really worried that she was going to go back to China before we could see her again. However this week we just prayed and prayed and finally we went by on her on Thursday and she was there! She had just gotten back that Morning and She still is planning on getting baptized this weekend! So we are just praying nothing comes up and she can make the date! She is amazing and I know if she does get baptized she will be such a blessing the people in China. We have so many other amazing miracles that happened this week however Leider I don't have time to write them all! I am just so thankful that I get to see all the wonderful blessing that comes from being a missionary.

This week I read a talk that Elder Uchtdorf gave to the mission presidents this summer! It is called Fear not I am with the. It was amazing and I felt Like it was just for me. It was about Missionary work and not being Afraid. He talks about peter and his growth in being a disciple of the Lord. Then compared how our testimonies and work needs to be. It really touched me Everyone should try to find it and read it. I love this mission and being a missionary. Sorry I wish I had time to write more but hopefully next week. Also Read this scripture 3 nephi 5:13

Love you all

Sister Toma
