Hello everybody!
I hope your last week was amazing
and full of miracles! I know there are miracles around us everyday, if we just
look for them.
This last week was go, go, go. I
haven't had time to write in my journal for about two weeks. On
Tuesday after District Meeting we did an Austausch with the sisters
serving in Pforzheim. Sister Green and I went to Pforzheim to work with Sister
Holman. It was a pretty amazing experience, let's just say God puts you in the
place you need to be, at the exact right time that you need to be there.
We came back on
Wednesday and the Pforzhaim sisters slept over at our apartment so Sister
Holmstead could go to the dentist. (That was fun.) Then on
Thursday Sister Jencks and I headed to Munich for Mission Leadership
Council and Sister Green stayed with the Sisters in Ludwigsburg. We spent a
couple days in Munich with President and Sister Miles and the other Zone
Leaders and Sister Training Leaders in our mission. There was a barbeque for
the 4th of July! And I got to see Sister
Ackerman, who I served with in Göppingen! Hooray! We learned a lot and
hopefully we now will be better able to help the missionaries in our Zone learn
as well.
Then when we came back
and on Saturday we did a Finding Day with our District. On a Finding
Day we go out all together as a District and talk to people. We invited a
recent convert from the International Ward, K, to come with us, so that way we
could go two by two. Divide and conquer, I had been praying really hard because
I wanted K to have a good experience, because she is thinking about going on a
mission. We started off the day with Sister Green and Sister Jencks working
together and I went with K. During about a half hour period we were able to
talk to this awesome family and give them and Book of Mormon, and then we
talked to another man and gave him a book, and he gave us his contact info.
Sister Green and Jencks saw the family later in the day, and they were already
reading the Book of Mormon! Hooray! Then later Sister Green worked with K and
together they gave away 4 Books of Mormon in about an hour! I was so glad that
the day turned out successful. The weather was perfect and we were led to the
people we needed to talk to.
Sunday we did double church
again. Afterwards we ate tacos with an American family.
This coming week we are doing two
Austausches, in order to fit them in before the transfer is over. It will be
exciting because I get to go back to Göppingen and work with Sister Clark for a
day!
Something I learned this week
from our meeting in Munich: Make sure your mind is where your feet are. Your
thoughts should be here, in the present, where your feet are. I was also
thinking about how my feet are in Germany right now, so my thoughts need to be
here as well. I haven't had much of a problem day dreaming about home, because
we have so much to do I barely have time to breathe, let alone day dream. It's
good to remember to focus on where I am right now, not on problems I may have
had in the past or things that might happen in the future. Of course I need to
repent from past sins and make plans to be better in the future, but I live in
the present, not the past or the future! God will take care of me if I just
trust him.
Ich habe euch lieb!
--Sister Stewart
