Servus alle!! This week, we had the amazing opportunity to plan and execute the baptismal service for our little friend. She really is the cutest and we are so proud of her for taking this step to baptism, as well as standing up before the ward to bear her testimony. It was a beautiful service and Taufe, and we were able to invite another one of our friends to come watch – this prompted her to tell us that she is so excited for her baptism as well.

Servus! We have had a solid week, from partying at a castle for Valentine’s Day to getting transfer calls. The castle we went to doesn’t look like much from the outside, but inside it was beautiful! It was so fun to go there with all the other Sisters in the Zone for a proper Galentine’s Day. We also went out to eat and split 3 tubs of ice cream for dessert.

Servus! This week we met with a new friend, and was amazing! She randomly texted us out of the blue saying she wanted to be baptized, very much of a surprise. We set up and appointment to meet and there she explained why she reached out. She grew up in a religious household, but never really was super committed to it. When she moved out and moved to Germany for school, she realized that she was responsible for her own testimony and relationship with Christ.

Servus!! Today marks exactly one year since I started my mission journey with home MTC – something absolutely crazy to think about! To have spent the last 12 months of my life serving the Lord is such a blessing and I am grateful for the opportunity. I am also beyond excited for the next 6 months of continued service. This week, we had many fun adventures, but my favorite thing that happened has got to be when one of our friends of the church accepted the invitation to be baptized!

Servus!! This week, we had quite a few member appointments – we are trying a lot harder to get to know the people in the ward. But one of these appointments stood out from all the rest. It was with this lovely old lady that lives about 2 hours away and has the most amazing positive outlook on life. She has stage four cancer and many other health problems, but she loves to cook so she invited us over to teach us a few of her favorite cheap, fast, and easy recipes.
