Week 6

And We're Outta Here!!

Guten Tag!! I can’t believe the day is almost here!! Only about 3 more days until I’m headed to Germany!! We leave the MTC at 7a to go to the Manchester Airport and we’ll be in Munich by 6p – and that’s all the information I’ve got so far. I’m super excited to get out to the field but also really sad about saying goodbye to all the amazing people here at the MTC, I have loved this experience so much.

Week 5

Temple Overload

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.

Week 4

Getting over the hump

Guten Tag!! A pretty gloomy week in terms of weather and attitude here at the England MTC. The German learning has become quite the struggle for a lot of the members of my district. But, the struggle means seeing God’s hand and how the Gift of Tongues has been able to bless us all. The number of words I have been able to memorize would not have been possible without the help of the Spirit and I am so grateful for it.

Week 3

Arriving in England!!

Guten Tag alle, An insane week, but I’m sure it will calm down after this. I had an early flight out of Albuquerque Tuesday morning so we drove down to ABQ Monday. This way I could get more sleep beforehand, a covid test, and do some last minute shopping. Monday I flew to Salt Lake City where I had a six hour layover – rough. But, some kind member couple saw me sitting alone and came over to speak with me.
