A sad celebration
1. (Fun fact: "funeral" in German is "Trauerfeier" which translates to "sad celebration"... I love German) Friday we watched our Prophet, Thomas S. Monson's funeral. It was a beautiful program, and I felt the Spirit testify to me that he was a true prophet of God, but also that God's power and authority will continue on through the next prophet and apostles.
The cutest prayer ever
2. Ahhhh we had a lesson with a new family this week, and it went great! At the end, the little 9 year old girl agreed to say the pray if I helped her say it. I think my heart about burst realizing this was the first prayer she had said in her life, and it was SO sweet!
I def don't have a weave in my hair...
3. Hahaha so as we were teaching Joseph, Marcia (his wife) was doing the hair of one of her 1243 nieces (there are new children at their house every day and I have no idea who they belong to?!) Well, long story short, we both ended up with an extension braid hidden in our hair! I had to cut it shorter to hide it, but they said they are getting us dresses from Kenya, so I think I'm just going to become one of them
The greatest shirt idea
4. "Zweifel" is "to doubt" but I think only when Im trying to be serious (yeah, that actually happens some times!) I accidentally say a similar word, "Zwiebel"... Yup, I told someone to not worry, and do not onion hahaha #celestiallanguage
Always act on a prompting
5. One of our investigators was sick this week, and we woke up Saturday with the thought to bring her a little care package. We made it and put it in our bag for the day, hoping we'd get a free moment to drop it off. The day was even busier than we thought, and it was almost 8:30 when we got out of a meeting! I still felt we needed to bring it by, so we did (Germans do NOT like late night visitors!) We've actually only been to her house ones so we rang like 6 apartments (its cool though, we made new friends!) before we finally found her! She had just come home 5 minutes before, and it was PERFECT timing! She felt so loved and we biked home feeling like Pres. Monson, in that we "think we did some good today."
Love you all!!! Es ist immer eine Freude, eine Missionarin zu sein! PEACE!
