Sister Tripp's Mission Blog

Guten Tag!! Wow, we got so busy, so fast. We have so much to do! I have also had a lot of firsts happen. I went on my first Tausch (exchange) with Sister Matthews (who is actually the sister of my brother in law!), I ate my first döner, I went finding at my first Ausstellung (street finding in a public walking areaa with other missionaries), got rejected many times, taught a few street lessons, missed a bus for the first time, and worked at a service project for the first time.

Guten Tag!! First full week in Vienna is finished, and I’m not sure Billy Joel has it right – Vienna waits for no man, especially not the public transportation. But, the craziness of getting around Vienna with my companion who has also never been here before has led to two incredible miracles this week! The first one was Saturday afternoon. We were headed to the Stake Center about 40 minutes away to watch the morning session of conference at 6pm.

Hello everyone!! Wow, what an absolutely insane week! After finally arriving in München and getting to the mission home, we had dinner together with the Mission President, his wife, and other office missionaries/ones that were leaving. Then we went to the church building near by and matched up the greenies with their areas and trainers. I was assigned to be trained by Sister Meyer in St. Gallen, Switzerland! We would be opening the area for Sisters, using an apartment that hasn’t been used in over a year.
