Morgen Familie.
Sounds like the kidos are doing great and you had a fun
Halloween. I can't believe that it is already November.. transfer calls are in
3 weeks It is making me sad because I have a feeling that this will be my last
transfer in Onsabrück! We just have so many new missionaries coming in to the
mission. It is really young mission now and I am sure Sister Egbert will be
needed as a trainer this next transfer. It makes me sad the thought of leaving
her however knowing that it is possible it just makes me want to work harder to
make sure that she has a great area and foundation for a brand new missionary.
This week really was full of Wunders (miracles). We just
keep finding and finding more people to teach! It just is wonderful. This week
we are struggling trying to fit everything in. We even are giving up a little
of our pday just to make it all work. Wow.. I am not complaining I love being
busy and having lessons! Working hard is the Best!!
So we were doing some street contacting this week and we met
a girl from Texas. I think Sister Egbert is really excited to teach her just
because it will all be in English. We also went and did some door to doors and
this one lady invited us in but she didn't have any pants on... haha! Oh how I
love Germans. However she wants to keep meeting with us let's just hope she
remembers her pants next time!! ;)
We were really scared for our appointment with Miguel this
week. If I have not already mentioned he is moving in with his girlfriend in
February and we hadn't taught him the law of Chastity yet. The lesson wasn't
perfect mostly because it is really hard to speak German when you are nervous
and on top of that our joint teach would not stop smiling.. oh the best part
was Miguel (remember that name mom haha) brought us like 20 lbs of Healthy
sugar that day too.. He is seriously so sweet and so nice and cares so much
about others... The lesson was awkward however good! The Lord really did answer
our prayers this past week and prepare him for what we needed to teach him. It
was really cool because the first thing he asked us before we even started was
what humility meant! Perfect lead into the lesson. He really is ready for baptism so just pray for him this week
that he will feel that too. It was actually pretty funny on Monday because he
tried to give sister Egbert a hug after family home evening.. You could just
image the scene Everyone telling him no, Sister Egbert's face turning bright
red and not knowing what to do. He just kept going until I put my hand between
him and sister Egbert then he really realized something was wrong haha. Our
ward mission leader had to explain everything to him, however He is I think
forever embraced. poor Miguel.
We had a great week though full of other fun events! One of
them being able to watch a film I am not sure what it is called however it is
about a sister serving her mission in Austria.. haha it was the best!
When you
have the chance you should totally see if you can find it! It is a Mormon movie
I am not sure what it is called however If you ever what to know what my
mission is like watch it.. it explains it to the T!!!
For other fun events of the week Sister Egbert and I were
egged on the bus on Halloween.. That was pretty eventful considering we were
heading to an appointment.. haha! YUMMY!
I can't really remember anything else for the week, like I
said lots of finding and lots of Miracles.. I love it! Just keeps getting
better and better everyday..
I hope that you all have a great week
Große Liebe
Sister Toma
