Sister Tripp's Mission Blog

Servus for the last time!! My mission has officially come to an end, and I am so excited to talk all about it!! I will be speaking in the Pajarito Ward about it this Sunday (20th) around 11.45 ish for anybody who would like to watch. (It might not be until a little later, so don’t be alarmed by the lack of camera or sound when you first join). Feel free to email me if you would like the physical address as well or the video or just to chat :) my personal email is kezia@tripp.

Servus!! This week has been crazy with all sorts of appointments to say goodbye to the members and friends here in Wiener Neustadt. It has been so sad, but also amazing to reflect on all the amazing people I have met on my mission, I am glad I have people that make saying goodbye so hard. We also made a new friend this week, and I am excited to hear about his progress when I am gone.

Servus alle!! We are in the home stretch!! Next Tuesday I will be traveling to the mission home in Munich for my exit interview with President Bates, the time really does fly by. But, we are going out with a bang here in Wiener Neustadt. This week had a lot of great experiences. Rıdvan passed the sacrament for the first time! We taught two lessons solely through Google translate Gave the firsts of the goodbyes to some friends and members I finished my crocheted cow hat An old lady member gave me some sage advice about finding a man when I get home We helped a Brazilian lady move, that one was a rollercoaster And we had 9 people at game night!

Servus!! This week was full of lots of good things with a great pday (sorry for the photo dump), my last Zone Conference, a Tausch with Sister Sefcik, and an Ausstellung in Wiener Neustadt. Not to mention, the number of new people we had at church this week! It was kind of crazy, actually. We were greeting the members when some guy walks in and shakes Bishop’s hand. Bishop figures he is one of our friends and leads him over, but we have no idea who he is.

Servus alle!! All the finding we have been doing has paid off this week with several new friends!! They are all from a variety of sources: Facebook, street, member referrals, and FindeChristus. We got one FindeChristus referral this week that was an adventure to visit. It was for a man who was hard of hearing, so he didn’t put a phone number, only his physical address. When we looked it up, there were no addresses exactly the same, but two that matched up partly, so we figured we would visit both of them.
