Staying in Graz!!!
That is an awesome story about Carina Smith. You never know the
lives that you will touch even if you don't know the person. We had
someone tell us a story kind of like that. She saw missionaries and
watched them for a long time, before she ever started investigating the
church. But the reason she met with them is because of the example of
the missionaries that she saw. She knew they were good people and she
wanted to know more about the church. You never know who is watching and what a
difference you can make to people. Even if you are just emailing them
from Mormon.org. I am so grateful for the experiences that I am having
and all that I am learning. It makes me realize what I need to do
better when I go home and what I need to fix and make sure what I always
keep in mind. Mom, I love what you said about the city of Enoch. We
have to trust in God to do what he says he will. He always provides a
way for us to accomplish what he asks us to do. I am really learning
that. Especially since my German is not very good, and talking with
people on the street is scary. But I am learning to rely on the Lord,
and he helps make up the difference. It really is a easy concept, but
hard to practice. I don't know why though, cuz God can't lie and he
always wants whats best for us. We just need to let him in. And that
is the hardest part sometimes. Realizing it is ok to ask for help and
that we can't do things on our own.
This week was really good. Last Monday we went with one of our
members hiking and then he took us to eat after. He is an 88 year old
man who is so fit, it is amazing. I can't believe it. He really almost
beat us up the mountain. But the hike wasn't too hard either. :)
We also had another meeting with our investigator. She is doing great.
Reading the BOM and is now in Mosiah 4. She is cruising. I am super
excited for her. We are working on getting other appointments set up
for this week, but we are doing really well. We have a lot of people to
work with and they are doing ok. We need to figure out exactly what
their concerns are, cuz some of them are plateauing. We also had
exchanges this week, so I got to lead someone around Graz all by myself.
Needless to say, I am very grateful for Sister B and that she
knows Graz so well. I need to step it up. But good news is we are
staying together for another transfer so I don't have to learn too
fast. :) We did a lot of finding this week and found a few more people
who may be interested in learning more. That is always an exciting
thing.
This week should be really good and also really busy. We have some
great appointments set up and we are working on finding more people to
teach. We have some great potentials to go by though. And the Elders
have really been helping us out with that as well. We are super grateful. Other than that nothing too exciting. Sorry to be so boring
this week. Thanks for sending so many pictures!!! Any more are always
appreciated. :) And thank you for the package. I was so happy to get
3 pens inside. I think that was my favorite part. But the candy was
also a great surprise. I love you all and hope you have a wonderful
week. Remember how much I love you and pray for you always. God loves
us so much more and wants that we succeed in life. He sent us here to
learn and grow and we should never be sad because we know that we are
children of God. And how can we be sad when we know that? Love you all
and think of you always.
Liebe Grüße!!!
