It's a Miracle!!!
Wow, you all sound so busy!! I know what you mean with the time. Sometimes it is so crazy how fast the time flies, but I have occasional days where I wonder if the clock is broken. :) But really the time goes so fast. It is crazy. We have another transfer in 2 weeks and it feels like we just started the last one. So that is crazy. We are pretty sure sister B is leaving, but you never know. She could stay here, but she would like to leave and go someplace new. And I understand that. She has been here for 4 transfers now and this is her first area. So I will keep you posted. I won't know next week, but the Monday after conference I will know. :)
Speaking of Conference I am stoked. That is also something that is
crazy. It seems like just a month ago they were speaking to us and now
it is happening again. The time flies!! I can't wait to hear what
they have to say to me and to everyone. I am trying to prepare myself
to really hear the messages that they have to give. Something exciting
also is that we have a baptism on that same day. It is from the Elders
here in Graz and it will be between sessions. So really we are going to
have a spiritual high that day. It will be awesome. He is getting
baptized on the 5th. It will be fantastic. Conference would have been
gift enough, but the baptism is a bonus!!! We are really excited for
him. And the T, the elder couple serving here will get to see it
before they leave as well. Actually speaking of that. They go home in 2
weeks, on April 10th
I think. They have done a lot
here in Graz for this ward and for us as missionaries. They are really
fantastic.
Our investigator we decided that we just need to
let her go for a little bit. Just to let her make her choices and she
said she was feeling a little pressured to be baptized, so we are just
going to let her have her space for a little bit. And we are still in
contact with her over email and also with text when she comes back in a
couple weeks. it really is a sad situation, but we can't really do
anything at this point.
Tell
everyone there that I said hello.
We got to go back to Furstenfeld this week and do service on that
farm. It was fantastic. I just miss the farm life a lot sometimes.
Can't wait to come back. Then we were in Vienna for the weekend for
Stake Conference. It was amazing. I can't believe the difference between his stake conference and my last one. I was struggling to
understand last time, and this time I understood almost all of what was
said. And I was able to take notes which is a miracle. Usually I have
to focus so much on translation that I can't really focus on what is
being said. It was amazing. And President and Sister Kohler got to
come. I loved it. The gift of tongues is real. I have no doubt. I
wouldn't be able to do German without the help of God.
Those were the two biggest things from this past week. This week should be pretty quiet. We have an exchange on Tuesday.
So I get to go to Vienna for a few days. That will be fun and
interesting. I get to be with a sister who is only been out for about 4
weeks now. So she is brand new and her German is coming. So pray that
we can communicate with the people. I am really excited to be
in Vienna for a few days. Not sure I ever want to serve there, but I am
excited to visit again. It is a really huge city and tons of people.
So we should be able to find some people to talk to. :) We are doing some great work
here. I am so grateful for the opportunity to be on a mission. It is
hard work and exhausting sometimes. And people aren't always the
nicest, but the ones who take time to listen, really gain
something without price. This gospel is true. Everyone in the world
needs it. God loves us, and he wants us to return to Him. He has made
it possible for us. If the celestial kingdom was un achievable, what
would be the point. God has made it easy for us, we just have to
follow Him. I know the church is true. The Book of Mormon is the word
of God. it is the keystone to our religion and we need it to help
others come unto Christ. In order to help others, we must first help
ourselves. Read and pray and God will help you always. Love you
all!!! Pray for you always. Keep up the great work at home. I will be
back with you before you know it. :)
Liebe Grüße,
Sister Poll
