| Pres. & Sister Kosak - Pres. & Sister fingerle (right) |
This week was crazy busy, crazy fast and crazy awesome! We
had the opportunity to have a meeting with our new mission president! President
Fingerle is wonderful! It is interesting having a mission president with
children though. There was a whole different atmosphere to our meeting. I will
always love my first mission President, Brother and Sister Kosak. But I am
excited to see what President Fingerle will do for this mission.
We talked a lot in the meeting about making one percent changes. President Fingerle talked about a biking team in England that wanted to win this competition. He spoke about how the team together made small minor corrections in their daily life that ended up helping them to improve their final results. They changed very minor things like the pillows they used to sleep, when they ate their food, what the wore when they rode their bikes, if there was creases in their clothing that could keep them from going faster. Eventually all of these minor corrections ended up helping them win. He related that to us, not only on the mission, but also in our everyday lives. If we really take the time to improve the small things, the bigger things that we need to correct will eventually fall into place. The little things are less intimidating too. One of the things I want to start improving on is breakfast... I think that if I really take the time to make a good healthy breakfast, I will have more energy to work longer and harder throughout the day. I am going to start this week!!! If y'all decide to try making the one percent change in your life, email me :) I would love to hear how it works for you!
This week, we decided to try something new while contacting people on the street. We decided that we wanted to take a member with us and split up talking with people. I love my little black name tag... it gives me an excuse to talk with random people on the street about joy and happiness. It was also cool to see how the Elders work with people on the street and how they talk to people. Elder Williams and I met a woman on the street that is very fascinated in other religious cultures and was really excited to learn more about the Book of Mormon.
I also wanted to write a quick thought about the priesthood. If you don’t know what the priesthood is, feel free to send me an email. But, this week, I had the opportunity to receive a blessing from my District Leader. It is amazing to me that someone as young as Elder Clarke can still receive revelation from Heavenly Father to help people. The priesthood is such an amazing power and I am so grateful that we can enjoy the blessings of it today. Without the priesthood, I think I would be lost. Although I do not hold the priesthood myself, I still get to enjoy the blessings that come from it. Everything said in that blessing gave me comfort, but also council. I know what I need to do now and how I can be better. I also felt so close to my Heavenly Father. I know that he loves each one of us and he really does watch out for us.
Last but not least... I am sure you are wondering why the subject says Bach and a Dirndl. For P-Day today, Sister Mittleman and I went shopping and tried on some German Dirndls and visited the ‘Thomas Kirche’ (church) where Bach is buried. Cool huh?
I hope you all have a wonderful week! I love you all!!!
