Guten Morgen Familie.
So sad news again we have to wait till next Sunday to watch
the last session of General Conference! Schada!! I was really looking forward
to it this Sunday, however it was fast and testimony meeting and that is always
good as well. So the weather is turning
cold their huh? well here in Germany it has been cold since August.. hasn't
really changed a whole lot since then maybe gotten a little colder or more
consistently cold.
Oh I also wanted to say how proud I am of mom for using a
German Word in her letter to me today!! So cool! =) "Zeal" I love it.
Well this week was pretty great I am not going to lie I can't
believe that it has already been another transfer.. Ahh like I said time is
flying by and DAD you are so right I have to make everyday count.. It is so
important. I would have to say though I am really looking forward to Christmas
time. =)
So to start off for the week Monday Miguel came to Familie
Heim Abend. (Family Home Evening). That was great and I think that he really
enjoyed himself as well.. we are hoping he comes with his girlfriend tonight as
well. Miguel is making great progress however He just needs a little push to
move towards baptism.. I am pretty sure that he will get baptized though before
the end of the year.
We taught him the Word of Wisdom on Friday and come to
find out he already lives it!! SCORE. It was a great lesson and also he taught
us a few things about how we could live healthier lives.. haha I need it
because come to find out I have gained about 20 lbs since I have been here.. If
you were wondering why I have some new cloths in my closet it is because I
literally can't fit into anything anymore.. I can only fit into 4 or my skirts I
brought and I was lucky to inherit one from another sister while I was in
Berlin.. however because I wear them so much they are getting a little worn!!
Don't worry I am trying to eat healthier however it is hard when we go to an
eating appointment and the women here won't let us leave without having seconds
lol..
We found a new investigator this week his name is Francisco
and he comes from Mexico.. He is pretty cook he served a mission here in
Germany for the Catholic church however he is showing so much excitement in
learning more about the gospel.. I really hope that we are able to keep working
with him that will be so awesome..
This week we had zone training meeting which was great I
learned so much about overcoming our fears and working with the members. Two
really important things to remember. We also had interviews with president on
Friday which was great.. I love our interviews he teaches me so much and helps
me become the missionary I want to be..
Well I Don't think that we really have anything else that is
exciting. or new haha and No really funny stories for this week. Honestly We
did a lot of traveling..
However I just love share something cool I have learned in
Personal Study this week. I was reading in Alma 11 12 and 13 and just thought
about how amazing Alma and Amulek's testimonies were.. How they were really
amazing at listening and teaching by the Spirit.. I think that is something
that we can all work on. Me as a missionary and others members as Friends, Home
and Visiting teachers. When we teach and listen by the spirit Heavenly father
will help us to know what their needs are and helps us to say what they really
need to hear.. It is something that
isn't easy but possible!
Well that is all for this week. I love you all and Hope that
you all have a great week!!
Love Sister Toma.
