Noch nicht fertig!

Hallo Leute,

After being coached by the elders and sisters in my Distrikt about what to write they helped me see to write exactly what I'm feeling. And honestly I don't know! I feel happy, sad, stressed, excited,
worried, relieved, confused....and more.... hahaha I'm grateful for the last 18 or so months.

The MTC Distrikt

This week we have had a lot of goodbye appointments which are literally the worse I need to stop crying, not kidding you, I need to drink more water because of how dehydrated I am due to the tears😂
I know that I've done my best and I know that I wouldn't have done it without the Lord. I know that my Heavenly Father loves me and each and everyone of His children. Im grateful to be able to experience that love He has for His children as I've talked and taught and been taught by them. I know that Jesus Christ is my Savior. And that he is my perfect best friend(in the words of our investigator, Fiona) He knows me, He has carried me and He has shown me a better way of being. I know the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is the only true church established once again on the earth through a Prophet, Joseph Smith and that the fullness of the gospel is in it. I'm grateful for the testimony the Lord has blessed me with. I'm still learning and still becoming but I've come to see the person God wants me to become and I'm grateful for that.
I wish I could literally explain everything in this email but it'd get pretty long. But know that this experience has changed my life(cheesy I know) and I'm excited to keep spreading the gospel when I am home!

Liebe Grüße

Bis ans Ende

Hallooooo Leute,

I love Christmas time! Last week we were able to be apart of so many fun Christmas traditions including the Weihnachtsmarkt in the church.
Weihnachtsmarkt
It was so cool!! We sang, and it ended up not being so bad because it was super loud (people chatting) and we were just supposed to be the background noise:) So yes we all stressed for no reason. A member gave me an elf hat to wear and it was apparently super funny and people on Sunday asked me where I put meine Mütze.
After singing with our elf hats
We had a few members bring their friends over to our stand and we got to pass a few Books of Mormon out and the elders are now meeting with one of the members coworkers!
We have been really stressing to our investigators the importance of the Holy Ghost and how through the Holy Ghost we receive answers to our questions and confirm gospel truths. It's been awesome to see how the light turns on in their heads as they remember the feelings and thoughts that have come into their minds as we have met with them.
In D&C 11:13 it says:
13 ​Verily, verily, I say unto you, I will impart unto you of my Spirit, which shall ​​​enlighten​ your ​​​mind​, which shall fill your soul with ​​​joy​;
And that's what we are promised by the Lord, without the Spirit, we would have no idea about any of the gospel, or we just wouldn't understand it fully!

Kind of glad to only have to send one more weekly email hahah:) But sad that my mission is coming to the Ende. There really is nothing like it:)

Liebe Grüße
