Life in crescendo. . . that's what President alwasy says!

Guten Morgen everyone,

Well another week another month. I feel like my mission is now flashing before my eyes and as I was talking to sister Wiborny today and thinking about all the memories that I had from Osnabrück it all just seems like a giant blur... Thank goodness for pictures right? Then I was thinking about how different each area I serve in is, missions are just something else. I love them.

 Sister Hoshimoto and Sister Toma

Well this week is a little boring so I will just share some little spiritual highlights. One was on Saturday sister Wiborny got sick so we had to stay home the whole day... That is a first on my mission I felt so useless and I didn't know what to do so I just studied, watched some bible videos, and did some organizing in the area book. The studying part was sooo good though, I honestly couldn't even stop. I studied a lot from the New Testament and Jesus the Christ... Deep stuff... lol however soooo good. Something that I just loved was something dad mentioned in his email this week about John the Baptist and his role in preparing the people for Christ ministry. Wow, I never ever realized the importance of John the Baptist and how amazing he really was, it really opened my eyes to what (true conversion is). I read and look at all the amazing examples on the Bible and the Book of Mormon. There were so many prophets and leaders who just were so converted unto the Lord...  then I just think what I need to do to teach this conversion or be this converted myself. I still haven't figured it out yet, but when I do wow how much more will be able to see the grace on mercy of the Lord.

I had a great exchange with my Asian Sister... Sister Hoshimoto... she is awesome and we had fun talking about how much we love Japan even though neither of us have been there or can speak the language... nah ja.. It is still cool to have another Japanese sister in the mission... then I don't have to stick out so much... lol

Another cool experience of the week was, Sister Wiborny and I have just been praying that we could find someone to translate for Olga, Anars Mom. Well on Sunday she came to church and one of the members invited an old companion from his mission to stay with him, answer to our prayers because he could speak fluent Russian... It totally changed everything and Olga just expressed how she could feel the spirit even stronger, and that she believes everything. She is golden just keep praying that she will be able to get baptized on the 15 of Feb.

Well family and friends I know this letter was boring this week, however I don't have a lot of time! I

love you all,
Sister Toma
