The Breadless Week (May 20 - Group Email) Plus Pictures!

This week was, hands down, one of my favorite weeks of my mission! Our zone held a miracle week, and we all gave up something and set higher goals. From the title, I'm certain you can guess what us 4 sisters gave up... (I'd give up bread for the rest of my life to have more weeks like this!)

Miracles of the week:
1. We had a special guest come last Monday... ELDER UCHTDORF! It was so cool to hear him speak to us in German. He held a "family home evening" for our zone and the young adults in Berlin on how we can work together in missionary efforts. I left inspired and hopefully for the future of Germany. Also, Sis Baldocks translator stopped working halfway through, so I translated the rest of the meeting for her! I felt God helping me completely beyond my strength, it's amazing how He helps us in every aspect of our lives.
2. We popped into a contact's flower shop and ended up teaching the entire Restoration lesson! It was just a miracle that we were able to mix German and Arabic and the language of the spirit. Totally cool, she has a ton of potential.
3. We met up with an Arabic contact in Tempelhof Airport! The Berlin Airlift happened there and it's one of my new favorite places, 10/10 recommend! But Ghidaa. SUCH a huge miracle. We got 2 extra tickets to the Living Legends concert that night and spontaneously invited her and her boyfriend to come and they did!! We all had so much fun and the show was AMAZING!
4. Ghidaa actually asked what exactly we did in Germany and we got to share the Book of Mormon in Arabic with her! I asked her to read the introduction out loud so I could hear more Arabic, and she started normally then pulled the book super close to her face, read super fast then popped her head up and asked if she could borrow the book. I've never seen somebody be so EXCITED as when we told her the book was hers! We also met some Arabic elders at the concert and she was so excited and wants to meet with all of us and learn!
5. Many more miracles happened this week, but this one was by far the most humbling. We had an extra hour and went out talking to people on the streets. That is hands down my favorite thing to do!! But we stopped this lady pushing a stroller and just struck up a great conversation about God. She started to tear up, and said that she had an awful day. She said less than 1 minute before we met, she asked God if He was even there and why He never sent her angels. I was completely humbled and shocked. Sister Baldock didn't even understand the words we were speaking but she felt the piercing spirit of the conversation. Danielle knew that God sent us to her, to let her know He is watching and caring for her. I'm so grateful that God leads us in paths to bless others.

I LOVE BEING A MISSIONARY!
