Hallo!!!
This week, my companion and I decided to go to the Hamburg library to write emails instead of going to a sketchy internet cafe. Haha! It is nicer here, but a lot farther away.
This week, it was actually pretty chilly here! It was crazy! I already had to take out my winter coat! Haha! We started off this week really well by losing my bus pass... I guess I didn't lose it, I just misplaced it in my coat pocket. It is just kinda scary to lose your bus pass because they are so expensive. But another one of the Lord's tender mercies helped me to find it. :) I'm also beginning to recognize some familiar faces on the bus. I see this guy a few times a week. I call him the sweater guy cause he always wears cool sweaters and sits in the same spot listening to his headphones. One day I will get the courage to tell him that I like his sweaters.

I had many spiritually uplifting experiences this week. I finished reading throught the Book of Mormon again and prayed about it like it says to do in Moroni 10:3-5. It is still true guys :) I also had the wonderful opportunity to receive a priesthood blessing from my district leader. Because I am so new to the field, I feel like it really helped me get set on my feet. On Thursday, we had a conference call with all of the Sisters in our mission and our Mission President. Präsident Kosak is so amazing and really knows how to take care of us. He gave us so many uplifting and encouraging scriptures to read. I would encourage y'all to read them. They really cheered me up. (D&C 84:88, 75:3-4, and 68:6) The last uplifting experience I had was actually a little scary. I had to give a talk in church. Yes... it was all in German and yes it was about 10 minutes long... But the topic was one that I could easily use my basic German vocabulary with. It was about loving our Heavenly Father and loving each other. :) Take the time to really notice who could use a friendly smile or hug because you never know who could use it.
My district this week went out and did this thing called "Random Finding". Basically, you get on a random bus and when it feels right, get off and basically just follow wherever the spirit takes you. This was my first time actually trying to approach people alone and talk to them about joy and the gospel. But it ended up being super fun and super cool. My companion and I were able to talk to many wonderful people and listen to what they believe and why they believe it.
This week is General Conference. I hope eveyone really takes the time this week to prepare for it. Take the time you need to really think about what you need and what questions you have. I promise that if you go into conference with an open heart willing to listen and seek out answers to your questions you will find them. I also know that when you do this you will feel how much your Heavenly Father loves and supports you.
I love you all so much and can't wait for another amazing week. :)
