So
I guess you already know from the subject heading, however Yes I will be
staying here in Osnabreuk for another Transfer. I am totally stoked I really do
love it here, even though it isn't very big and there are not a lot of cool
things to do and see. I am just grateful that we have work and really I think the
people here are so nice. I have heard about some other areas in Germany where
the people are not good to the missionaries at all.This week was pretty interesting. I had my first Exchange. It actually went really well. We were late to a few appointments however we made it to all of them and I got my way around the city all by myself! YES! It was good though on our exchange we actually exceeded most of our goals and hopefully we can add a few new investigators to our teaching pool.
Anyways one really cool miracle that I say this week was my
bike is always broken and so finally this week we bought weekly bus cards. So
we were riding the bus and we say this mom and her daughter.. here in Germany
you are not supposed to talk about religion on the buses, trains or bus stops.
Anyways we just say them sitting there all cute and didn't really thing
anything more about it. 2 days later we were riding the bus home and saw them
again. Sister Blake saw them getting off and told me to hurry and get of at the
same stop? I was so confused while our house was like 2 or 3 stops away. She
then whispered to me and to go and talk to the girl and her mom. It was awesome
though because we made out an appointment and then now her whole family is
taking the discussions. It is Awesome they come from Spain in and really I can
see how the Lord has already been preparing these people to learn more about
the Gospel. The best part is they come from Spain and they speak Spanish.. It
is so fun to hear them and it reminds me of Hunter and I wish he could be here
to translate for us haha. Although we have a sister in our ward who is 1/2 Guatemalan
and she can Spanish pretty well and she help us in the lessons. Anyways I am
just so grateful that we found this family.
This week we also had an Ausstellung I don't know what you
would call it in English, but maybe a table display? anyways We traveled to
Badbentheim a little city right on the border of Germany and the Netherlands.
It was so beautiful and I wish that I would have taken more pictures. There is
a really Old cool looking castle there and so maybe hopefully this transfer or
the next if I am here we can go back and I can take some more pictures. This
town though is tiny and most of the people there were just walking around in
circles so It was like we were talking to the same people over and over and
over again. It was also pouring cats and dogs so that didn't help lol. It was
really good the I got to practice and a lot of Germans couldn't believe that I
could speak so well for only being here for a month and a half.
Oh fun news for the week Elder Bednar is coming next month!
Whoo hoo I am totally excited and also we all get to travel to Berlin for the
Day.
I miss you all tons and tons! Have a great week!
Liebe
Sister Toma
