Guten Tag!
Another week closer to going to the field! The days are starting to blur together – study, eat, class, study, sleep, eat, class, eat, class, eat, sleep, study….. But there are for sure some notable points. For example, in the past week, I have gone to the temple 4 times doing 3 different ordinances!! Our Elder from Turkey is a convert and has a ton of family names for us to do so we have been working from the ground up with baptisms and confirmations, initiatories, and endowments for his ancestors. It has been super cool, even if the names are difficult to pronounce.
Also, a huge group of new missionaries showed up!! There are 14 new Sisters and several new Elders, doubling the number of missionaries here. It has been fun getting to know each of them as well as find what random connections I have with some of them, like friends with my cousin. They are all super great and friendly. Several of them are native German speakers as well which has been a good opportunity to test out what I have learned.
We’ve also had movie nights (Watching Meet the Mormons), teachers bringing ice cream, and the same cloudy and windy weather everyday – but I will admit that most days you can catch a patch of blue.
Bis nächste Woche, Sister Tripp
