Dresden and more. . .


Guten Morgen!

 Well sorry this might be another short email this week... I know they are getting lamer and lamer by the week, however I am getting worse and worse at writing because I run out of things to talk about sometimes... ha-ha
But to start off I went to Dresden this week, Have you heard of it?  Wow if you haven't look it up because it is beautiful. The prettiest place in our mission. The sisters there are Sister Hill and Bills they are both wonderful and such examples to me! I had a good time, except when I had to talk to people. I thought that I was pretty good and understanding German however the accent down there is like a whole other language. I felt horrible...

It also snowed a ton this week. Still hasn't melted yet! NAH JA! I will live through it. Hopefully it will start warming up here soon!
We had a great lesson with Olga this week. Two members came who spoke Russian. It helped so much... except for the part where we didn't know what was going on or being said... made me think a little bit more about the begining of my mission and what that was like. Ha-ha we were hoping that Olga would be ready for baptism this weekend however, she just needs a little more time. She is amazing though and we really do pray for her every week... We hope next week or the next.

So miracle of the week, so last week we were on our way to the internet cafe to do emails but we past it because I was on the phone with someone... well we walked the street 3 times thinking it was farther... than coming back because we though we were too far.. Finally we found it but it took us 30 minutes... as we finished our emails a man walked in and sat down. I said something to sister Wiborny and he turned around and started asking us questions about where we are from... long story short we ended up teaching him in the internet cafe for about and hour and a half just answering his questions and talking about the gospel! It was pretty cool, he wants to come to church now and meet with us... God puts his prepared people in our paths I know it... everything happens for a reason and we just have to be ready to use our time the s´way he has asked us.
The Freiburg temple closed for renovations this week... so some of the members went down before it closed. It was so cool to see one of our new members go down this week. He has already been there once! But wow does he love the temple... Our ward mission leader said he just loved it so much he kept going with the baptism... How cool! New members are the best...

Missions are so wonderful... So many miracles and blessings I am so grateful for I know that this church is true and that God has is hand in everything...





I hope everyone has a great week,

Love Sister Toma
