Dear
Family and Friends,
This
is the big week, tomorrow president Fingerle will officially become our new
mission president. I cannot believe the day is actually here, also that it is
schon July.
But
really I can't believe it because, it hasn't been over 65 degrees here yet.
Sometimes I still have to wear tights!!! Who ever said there is global warming,
for sure has never visited Germany ;)
I
was freaking out when I read Elder Toma's letter last week. That is pretty
intense, having to speak in front of a General Authority.
Well
this is my first week taking over Hannover, and the miracles keep rolling in.
Sister Stacey is so awesome, and we are having so much fun together :) I am so
excited to work with her. She is from Alpine Utah, 21 and we have so much in
common, it is pretty dang fun :)
One
of the coolest things that happened this week was actually on our first day. We
went by on our investigator Justice, and turns out Joseph, and Emanuel, and the
whole gang was there. Coolest part, Joseph's wife had just arrived from Spain.
We talked for a bit and she said she wanted to come to church with Joseph. Then
we met with Justice later that week and she came with. After the lesson, we
found out that she actually had met with the missionaries in Spain, and had
been going to church, she even said she wanted to be baptized :) so cool. They
really just walk into our lives here in Hannover.
Another
amazing miracle from the week was our first time getting to meet with Nele. I
don't know if I mentioned her in my past emails, however she is a German who
did and exchange student program and stayed with a member family when she was
15. Fifteen years later, she decided she needed more in her life and wanted to
start meeting with us. Ah she is so cool, and I am so excited to start teaching
her more, on Thursday when we met, she was so nervous, however she is so ready
for the gospel and so prepared :) aww the gospel is so true and I am so
grateful to be here helping people to realize it :)
This
Sunday at church we had a missionary speak, who had just returned home from his
mission. It was my first homecoming talk that I have heard on my mission. It
was so good. The whole sacrament meeting was actually surrounding missionary
work and they had his entire family give talks. They were all really good. It
made me realize how wonderful the opportunity must be to have a missionary in
the field. :)
So I
have some big news :) our ward will be having 8 baptisms this week! What a
miracle. We are so excited to really just start off president Fingerle's
arrival with a bang that missionary work, WORKS!!
With
saying that can you please please pray for these people
Justice

Theresa

That
we can meet with them this week, that they will be ready and come to church for
the next two Sundays so they can make a covenant with their Heavenly
Father.
Well
family that is it for this week, I love you so much!!! You’re wonderful.
Alles
Liebe,
Sister
Toma
