I am still in Singen! We actually don't have transfer calls until this weekend. So I have no idea if I am staying another transfer in Singen or leaving. So Don't stress yet! Why did yall think that it was this past weekend?? So I have been in Singen now about 7 months now, so everyone thinks I will be transfered, but I definitely think I could stay another one. I have no idea.. We will see what happens. It is weird to think that I could be transfered into my last area.. ahhh As soon as I find out I will get Sister Gurney to email yall:) But I am predicting I will stay here for a 6th transfer...
I read in my journal from my first two transfers and it just amazes me how much I have learned and grown on my mission. I have made so much progress! It is seriously incredible and I am so thankful for that. I just think of how much the mission has blessed my life and I am overcome with immense gratitude. I always thought before my mission that I would be able to help so many people, but then I realized the mission has probably effected my life more than I have effected anyone elses. It is crazy like that. A mission is a win win, you can help others come unto Christ and let them to partake in his redemption, and you can also go through a refiners fire that helps you change which will help the rest of your life. It is incredible. Hopefully that makes since, but I am thankful for my Savior!
My Austausch in Offenburg was so fun! It is great to be able to experience a new area with a different companion. You learn so much! Offenburg is also so different than Singen. The scenery is just so different (Since they are in the middle of the black forest) and people talk with crazy accents there! hahah It was cool because I did the tausch with Sister Brinck and she is gluten free too! She gave me some great ideas with eating. I am becoming a gluten free pro. The Lord is helping me so much.
Sister Smith and I had the opportunity to teach seminary this week. It was so much fun. I love the youth, but I also realized how hard it can be to teach them, especially when they don't really care to be there. But it made me excited to work with youth again in the future. It is cool because our mission is doing a mission wide fast together for the youth of the church and so that we can teach more youth. I think it is great.
Erwin is doing great! He has been to church 8 times and just loves every second. Yesterday after church he asked us if we could meet by the baptismal font for his lesson. He is making so much progress and he loves the gemeinde. We are meeting with him again on wednesday and he is also performing at the Talent Abend this Saturday. He is basically a member, he just has to get over his fear of baptism. One thing I have learned on my mission is that patience in a virtue, so we just have to have patience with him:)
This week we have Zone Conference in Freiburg which is about 2 1/2 hours away. It should be good, I am excited to learn from President and Sister Miles!
well i love you guys so much! Have a great week!!
Sister Allman:)
Here is a talk I have been really studying the past few weeks. It is the best!
