Hello Family!
I am running out of ways to start my emails. hahah But this week was good. We saw tender mercies everywhere and when life gave us puddles - we jumped in them! Literally! haha It rained a ton this week. Tuesday after district meeting we were headed by a few people homes and it just poured. Our feet were already wet so we decided just to enjoy each moment and jump in the puddles on the way. Sister Smith and I were just laughing and enjoying every second. We had Gemeinde Rat (Ward Council) that night and by the time we got back to the church, we were completly drenched! It was definitely a lesson to me about how we can enjoy EVERY moment, it is just up to us and our attitude!
We had a great lesson with Lisa about the Plan of Salvation. She loved it and said she doesn't understand why everyone doesn't have the goal to make it to the Celestial kingdom. It was awesome. The members also LOVE Lisa. Everyone keeps asking us if they can come to an appointment with us. Everyone just thinks she is already a member because she looks and acts completly like a member. It is so great. I am excited to meet with her again this week.
O! Cool little thing. Friday night there was a waffle night for the JAEs. We ended up having 11 non members there!! There were 5 members, 4 missionaries, and 11 non members. We were all so excited and just couldn't believe the turn out. It was einfach der Hammer.
So ya'll have probably already seen this video called "Because of Him." Well, Sister Smith and I have really been using it with members and investigators and we have gotten an incredible response. I just have realized that I have so man blessings in my life, and I wouldn't have any of them if it weren't for Him.
So yesterday we had ward conference with the stake president and it was awesome. They introduced the stake mission plan and this is it... Love the Gospel enough to share it. 1. Pray for charity and opportunities to share the Gospel. 2. Pray for the missionaries and investigators by name. 3. Have the missionaries in our homes. There is the plan and that is what they talked about in every meeting. Lets just say that all of us missionaries felt very popular. They focused on the goal setting - and having the missionaries in the members homes. Afterwards people were rushing to the calendar to sign up for appointments and even Sister Geschwander, an elderly woman walked around writing down the names of all the missionaries. We have so many appointments with members this week. I felt a reality of the importance of missionary work and the responsibitily that I and all members have to reach out to others. I love that the whole plan starts with Love. Sharing the Gospel out of love. Powerful.
O! Pday was awesome today. Baldur took us to the Green Lake and it was breathtaking. Great Pday.
Well I love yall a lot! Have a great week!
Sister Allman
