Moin!
So this week was awesome. Last Monday Sister Sanders and I went to the Hamburger Dom. It is a huge Carnival in Hamburg. It was super fun :) We also did a little apartment searching for our mission president. He is trying to find a new Wohnung (apartment) for the Sisters in this area. So we got to go check them out.
So we had an investigator Tschüss us last week. We ended up passing by him in Bergedorf and he said that he wanted to meet up again. So cool! I am excited to talk with him a little more. I also gave away my first Book of Mormon while finding this week! What, What?! Ya! This lady was super sweet. She was just visiting this area from Hamburg, but we had an awesome conversation about Christ, our Heavenly Father and the Book of Mormon.

Our district has been trying out
this new thing that we call "Risk the Awkward". Basically when we are
on a Bahn or a Bus, we bring up the most random things to talk about with
people. So the other day Sister Sanders told this man that she liked the color
of his bright green pants. He just said thanks and stayed quiet. A few seconds
later he was talking about how the color on his jacket was nicer and that he
could make his knees pop. Seriously, every day is a new adventure out in the
field.
This week, we had a lot of activities at the church. On our way to the church, we always pass these men that are reselling train tickets that people gave away. We see them so often that we are now friends. One of them gave us chocolate the other day. It’s pretty exciting. But one of the activities we had at the church was a Fiesta that all the Latino members in our ward were doing. They taught us all about Chile, Brazil, Argentina, Nicaragua. We danced and ate food. It made me a little homesick though. I am starting to really miss my Tex-Mex.
Sunday was super cool though. Sister Sanders and I played a variation of ‘A Poor Wayfaring Man of Grief’ in Gemeinde (ward) Konferenz. It was super cool to play and I think for the first time, the room was completely silent. The spirit overflowed the room with love, comfort, joy and peace.
After church, we had the amazing experience to go to a fireside for the missionaries. The Piano Guys are playing in Hamburg this week and came by to do a small testimony meeting and concert for the missionaries. It was so cool. We all were able to talk to them individually. I would like to share a few things that I learned from this fireside.

"Heavenly Father knows what kind of
instrument we are. If we humbly and earnestly put His will before our own, we
will begin to see that the music we play will be played with more passion and
love than we ever could imagine."
During the fireside, we were able to
have a Q&A with them. I asked them if they could give one piece of life
advice.
Al - Stay close to the Lord. Never lose sight of what is really important
John Schmidt - Alma 37: 36-37 (Take this scripture literally)
Paul - Don`t ever settle for where you are right now. Push yourself beyond what you are capable and you will do amazing things
Steve - Don`t let your failures define who you are. Use the Atonement every second of every day to make those obstacles turn into stepping stones.
These men really brought the spirit into this meeting. We were able to listen to their testimonies and they were able to play an invite the spirit through the power of music. I am so grateful for the opportunity I had to be a part of that.
You are all amazing!
