Hello everyone, Guten morgen,

Well Can I just say this week was pretty good? To start off it was a busy week, I always love those ha-ha.

Lake Wansee, where my Ward mission leader lives 

One of the best parts was that we had a sister conference this week and I got to see Sister Egbert! She has grown so much as a missionary it was so good to see her, I have missed her tons.

We also had 6 sisters staying overnight with us CRAZY!! It was fun though, just getting a bunch of girls together. In the sisters conference we talked about so many wonderful and good things and I learned so much. We can always become better missionaries. There is never a time in our mission that we should be content with what we are doing, however we should always feel at the end of the day we have done all the LORD wants us to do. I love this quote I learned last week in mission leadership training. Don’t set goals to your performance, preform to your goals. Our main goal in life is strive to become like God, so if we want to do that we need to set the goals to get there and preform to them. If we just set the goals to make it easy we will never learn.

Olga left this week it was so so sad we will miss her so much, we found out too the church in Azerbaijan is illegal. However we hope that she finds some friends there at are members. We have heard there are about 30 people. And we pray that she can come back to Germany soon.

This week I finally got to go on exchanges with one of my favorite sisters, Sister hill. She is a super start missionary, awesome finding. I learned so much from her this week. It is so cool to watch her in action as she talks to people on the streets, buses in the trains. So cool! She was such a great teacher for me... ha-ha Sometimes I feel like I learn more from the sisters than they from me! That is okay though.

We had stake conference in a HOTEL this week. It was super good though, Elder Adler came a spoke, and it was a really good talk, her really just emphasized that the members here need to be involved in the missionary work... It was good though, and a ton of people that we teach came as well it was AWEOME!!

Have you read the ensign for this month? Ah there was such a good article in there about weaknesses and sin, I challenge all of you to read it this week if you can, it is so good!

This week we just had some really great lessons with our investigators and the people we teach. Aw one of my favorites was with one of our new members Bucky, first off last week we talked about missionary work with him! It was so good, he even said that he will talk to some of his friends on Facebook about it. Then this week while we were on exchanges we read Alma 5 with him it was also really really good, we followed up though on whether he talked to any of his friends and he DID! So cool he shared his experience with us and wow, he will be one powerful member in Ethiopia. Ha-ha he even said once he goes back he wants to be branch president. Lol or we are hoping he goes on a mission. Even cooler. But we also read Alma 5 with him that was such a cool experience to see his testimony. Wow I love love love hearing the testimonies of the new members or reactivated members. They are so strong and powerful.

Yesterday we got invited to go to our ward mission leader’s home for a new member discussion. It was so cool, we were doing a review of the restoration and man, our ward mission leader is so cool, and he has so much knowledge about the gospel. So blessed here to serve in Dahlem, we see so many miracles and so many wonderful blessing I just know that the Lord really takes care of his missionaries. The restoration of the Gospel is such a good topic! I love learning about it and every time I study it I just learn so many new things! We really are so blessed to have this restored gospel in our lives.

Well There isn't really too much from this week. Kind of boring too ha-ha,

I love you all and Hope you have a great week,
