Hello Mother!

Well, transfers were this week, and I will be staying in Stuttgart
with Elder Rahlf! He is a great guy, and his experiences in life have
helped me out a ton! It is amazing how the Lord works with what
companions you have and at what time you have them. I am so grateful
to be here in Germany learning the things that I am. It is so weird
how fast the time has gone by and I am scared to see how fast the time
will go, but it will all be good. This week all the sisters from my
MTC group go home... That is so weird! I really will miss those
Sisters. Everyone in the mission knows that our group is the best
group, but now half of us are going home. One of the sisters in from
Brigham City so could you possibly go her homecoming, and take
Jesse... I already told her she has to go on a date him haha. She already
knows the Killpacks, because of Brett. Her name is Sister Fenton, I
will let you know the details when I get them! Our investigators are
doing well. The common trend seems to be the fact that they don't
accept the fact that God has an Absolute Truth... It is sad and hard
to help them because they think both of us are on Gods path so there
is no reason to change. Pray for them please! Well I love you so much
and thanks for all you do for me!

Dear Family and friends,

 We had a very american thanksgiving this last week! It was great! TRUKEY POTATOES STUFFING, PIE!!!!!!! I love living next to the army bases here in Stuttgart! It is the Absolute best! We also got to play a turkey bowl! AMERICAN FOOTBALL!!!!! It was the best! awww it 

was a great week! We went golfing today Kinda... haha and we went through the christmas market!!!! That was fun. Today has just been a great day... I missed golf so much! It was the first time that I hit a golf ball since I came out on my mission... You can only imagine right?? hahah We had some great lessons with Lamiss. She is from Lebanon. She is finishing her PHD for Physics right now... she is 33. Safe to say she is super smart haha!! but she is so golden. She has heard and understood every lesson so far, the only ones to teach now are Law of Chastiy and Word of Wisdom. She is great! I think she is just scared that she has to be perfect once she is baptized... so we taught her that the atonement is an infinite atonement and that it has to be, because we will never be fully perfect on this earth! Mosiah 26:29-30! She will come around! I know it:) transfers come in on Friday. 

 Love you so much and I am so grateful for you! Love you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Love,

Monday: Looked all day for comp tie but couldn't find one:(

Tuesday: We went to our district meeting here in Stuttgart, and then went to a district meeting in Göppingen, and did a super Tausch in Göppingen. I was working with Elder Meiners! It was a lot of good:) We went finding on the streets and had a lot of great conversations with people.

Wednesday: Did some service on Tausch and then came back to Stuttgart and were able to meet up with Felix! He is doing good, we are talking about what Faith actually is, because we have agreed that Faith can save us, but now we need to figure out what faith is. 

Donnerstag: MLC in Munich. A long bus ride to Munich. and a great devotional from 2004 by Elder David A. Bednar

Friday: MLC all day. 6 hours of meeting with the finest in the mission! It was a great meeting where I learned a lot! Learned about, becoming a missionary, and not just going on a mission. Learned about, Why it is so important to talk to everyone, and how we can help the rest of the zone follow that lead! Then we rode a bus all the way back home to stuttgart just in time to get to bed:)

Saturday: Planned for Zone training, and taught Bruder Heuer! He is doing good! We also taught Stefan and got him to come to church with us yesterday!!! Wahoo!!! He is a great guy!

Sunday: CHURCH! It was great to see Bruder Heuer and Stefan there! We also ate some good food at the Schaal family's house! Then we went finding! and found the coolest lady from Lebanon! She is probably the most golden I have ever met! She is fantastic! then we went to Schwester Leyensätters house for some cheesecake and to sing hymns together! It was great! Love you all!!!!!!!!!

Wednesday: End of Tausch with Elder Gibson and start of tausch with AP Elder Rozan in Stuttagart. We went and taught Bruder Heuer. He was our first lesson with him after the baptism and we talked about what the next step is. He taught about what goals we can set now to help him get to the temple. He is way excited and ready to keep making progress!

Thursday: End of tausch with Elder Rozan and finally working with Elder Hunt again. We also played some soccer with the youth that night as well.

My new companion´s name is Elder Rahlf and he comes from Liberty, Ohio! I just have a thing for not having companions from Utah, two of 7 which is really strange... but ya I am way excited to work with Elder Rahlf, but I am really going to miss Elder Hunt. We had a really good time together!

Saturday: We were able to visit Bruder Heuer again, and that was good! He is a great man! And to be honest I really cant remember what we did on Saturday, but probably something good! haha

But ya we just ate a ton of food! and then Elder Hunt and I just talked about how it stinks that we are leaving and reminisced all the good times we had together!

Love you all!!

Friends and Family, 



Monday: CLEANING CLEANING CLEANING

Tuesday: Zone training!! It was a good one! I was super excited to share the wonderful things we learned at MLC with the Zone! IT was a great Zone training! I love being with other missionaries and just trying to help them help themselves. Now whether or not I am good at that is another question haha;) Then I went on Tausch with Elder Howarth, my MTC comp, but we had to do splits on splits, We had a baptismal interview for Bruder Heuer, and Elder Adam is the DL, so he had to do the interview, but I needed to be there, because it was my investigator, so Elder Howarth went with Elder Donald during Tausch, confusing I know...

Wednesday: Was kinda sick, so Elder Howarth and I didnt get to do too much, and then we tausched back.  Elder Hunt and I then proceeded to teach the most amazing lesson on my mission! Her name is Frau Golombeck. We gave her a 5-10 min overview of what we do and teach as missionaries, so she could have the expectation of meetin more with us and so she could have the big picture in front of her, then we told her that we wanted to fill in one of those blurry holes in the big picture today, which we call the plan of salvation. She had lost her three month old daughter earlier in her life and a few other family members. We taught her what the plan was, what our goal was, why we are on the earth, where we are going, and we also told her that children who die are brought into God´s presence, because they are both clean and waiting to be ressurrected. She had asked earlier, "Wo war Gott als mein Kind gestroben ist? Er war nicht für mich da." So we addressed this question when we had taught the full plan. I started off by telling her of my experience with losing my mother when I was 10 and that is was hard for me, but what this plan meant for me, to know that I can and will see her again. I then looked at her in the eyes and told her without a shadow of a doubt, I know where God was when your Child passed away, He was greeting your daughter into His Kingdom, He was there for you and your daughter, and I can promise you, you will be with your daughter again. It was such a powerful experience. She told us afterwards, that she could feel a warm feeling in her chest, and she admitted she was feeling emotional about the topic, and that it was bringing her peace and joy. She asked us we are meeting again to fill in the other pieces to the picture! She is so amazing! When we were saying the opening prayer, I had this overwhelming feeling, that she was someone I was supposed to meet and teach on my mission. I now know why I had that feeling! I cant wait to teach again this week! I will keep you posted! We also taught a wonderful lesson with Bruder Heuer, helping him stay focúsed and true to the commandments so he could get baptized saturday.

Thursday: We went out to a less active who fed us lunch, and we talked about the importance of doing... Hopefully he will start acting on the truths and testimony which he has! I really hope so! We also played some fußball with the Jugendliche!

Friday: Tausch with Elder Werner. We ate food and taught two member families and had a great talk about life and how we can both improve ourselves and that there is no better place than the mission to do it! Or at least that is what I got out of it!

Saturday: Hans Ulrich Heuer got Baptized!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was so great! I am so proud of him making it to the end of his old life and starting on the new life comitted to the gospel of Jesus Christ! He is a great man and I love him so much! He is just amazing!!!!!

Sunday: Bruder Heuer was confirmed, and I was really sick. All I did was go to sacrament meeting just to be there for his confirmation. and then Elder Hunt and I crashed at home later and slept and slept and slept! I am feeling better today, but still a little weary. I am just conjested now. But all is good in ZION!

Love you all!!!!
