Easter Tree!
Easter Snow!!!!
It is still snowing here in Hohenstein-Ernsthal. I thought
it would have ended by now. But as I speak it continues to fall from the
sky.
But, on the bright side, this week we had the amazing opportunity to listen to General Conference. I learned so much. One of my favorite things that I learned was used in an analogy using music. The speaker talked about how we can all learn how to dance but we need to hear the music. He told us that when we are doing the things we should be, we will dance a beautiful dance. But even if we are dancing beautifully, sometimes it looks funny without music. That's where the spirit comes to play. The spirit is the music that we hear while we are dancing. I loved that analogy.
This week was Easter and Germans take their Easter break very seriously. So naturally, everyone was home :) Sister Barlow and I decided to go caroling with Easter songs about Christ. Many people said no. But the ones that said yes told us how much they enjoyed the message of the Messiah coming to take upon the sins of the world and to be resurrected so that we all have the blessed opportunity to return to live with him again. I love being a missionary and having the opportunity to serve the people here in Germany and share with them the message of Christ, repentance and love.
I heard a quote this week that I wanted to share with y'all. I am not exactly sure who said it but,
"I believe in Christ like I believe in the sun. Not because I can see it, but because I can see everything."
I know that through Christ we really can see everything. My mission has allowed me to really open my eyes to see what I can accomplish through faith, hope, charity and love. I love you all and I hope you have a lovely week. :)
