ICH MAG DI

Guten Morgen Familie!!!

Wir hatten eine Wunderbares Woche gehabt!! So viele Wunder!!! Es ist wirklich fabelhaft!

Mom! How did you know I was going bike riding today? Did Michael email you about it? hahah He is the zone leaders investigator, but because they serve in our ward, we see Michael a lot as well. He is hilarious, you would get a kick out of him. He came up to me after sacrament meeting and said, "Your mom says she loves you!" I was so confused and then he showed me the picture he took of me bearing my testimony and said he sent it to you. hahahah O goodness. Michael is hilarious. 

So last week I told you a little bit about Pasquale right?? Well Monday night we had an appointment with him and it was amazing. He told us, "I wanted to meet with you tonight because I wanted to tell you how I have been feeling. Ever since I started reading this book and meeting with you two, I have been feeling something weird. I have never felt this feeling before, and I don't know what it means. I have always been able to control my feelings, but now I have no idea what is going on. It is freaking me out!" Lets just say Sister Smith and I were both really happy. He had been feeling the spirit. We met with him 2 other times this week and both lessons went great. The amazing thing about it is that every time we meet with him, he looks better. He doesn't look as dark. He looks more clean cut. It is so cool to watch this confirmation. On Friday we had an appointment with him at the Arnolds with another YSA Carla. Brother Arnold and Carla were both amazing joint teaches!! We talked about the Plan of Salvation with the Word of Wisdom. Brother Arnold is a convert, and has COMPLETELY changed his life around, and Carla went inactive for 3 years, and COMPLETELY changed her life around as well. They were able to testify to Pasquale about the blessings the gospel and the word of wisdom brings. The spirit was seriously so strong! Then Last night we had an appointment with him and then we went with him to YSA Abendessen(dinner) and ate all together with the YSA. He had a good time and ended up staying and hanging out with the YSA after we left. We were so happy. Seriously, when members get involved with missionary works, that is when miracles really happen! So you should help the missionaries just like the broadcast talked about, because members helping with missionary work is the best! THIS GOSPEL IS TRUE!!

Angela is great. Her confirmation was wonderful. Yesterday she was just so happy and came up to me and said in her Chinease accent, "Viele Leute kennen mich jetzt! Ich bin so berühmt!" ( Many people know me now! I am famous!) It was seriously the cutest. Everytime she comes in the room, everyone is so happy. She gave us and the elders all these little asian trinkets to thank us. We were all laughing so hard. Goodness, I love asians so much! haha

I love Munich. I am so incredibly grateful that I have had 6 months to serve here. Man. The investigators, the ward, the people, the missionaries, everyone is so AMAZING!! I feel so blessed. Everyday I wake up and just think about how blessed I am to be on a mission. I feel so lucky for this incredible opportunity. I can't even begin to describe how full my joy is. In two weeks we get transfer calls, and sadly I think I will be getting transfered. I mean I could be surpirsed, but I have been here 6 months-longer than most sisters have been in any of their areas. If I could get one more transfer here, I would be the happiest ever!! But if the Lord needs me somewhere else, I will be able to go as well. But O how I will be forever grateful to the Lord for sending me here to Munich, because I have met so many people that have changed my life for the better.

So this week I have studied alot about Ether 12:27. As crazy as this sounds, I love that we have so many weaknesses. It is such a blessing to have weaknesses, because when we truely rely on the Savior and work our hardest, those weaknesses can become our strengths. How amazing is that??? I realized that this mission is the perfect time for me to be able to really become the person I want to be. So for the past week I have really reflected on the person I am. I have written down all the things that I do, good and bad, and I circled all the things about me that I want to change. Now I am working to change all those things, and become better!! I want the mission to change me! I want to come home a different-better person than I was before I left. I made a little goal calendar and I have been working on some of the things. I am really motivated and it has been such a blessing. The Lord is helping mold me into my potential! Thanks for everything and all the prayers!!!!!! Ich habe dich so viel liebe!!!! Sister Allman
