Love of God is like a Hug!

Sometimes there are weeks on the mission that feel like an eternity long. Not because they are not good, but because we have so much to do. But I guess it is good to be busy. :)

Tuesday, Sister Mittleman and I ate at a place called the Auerbachs Keller. It is a really old German restaurant. Goethe wrote the first part of "Faust" there... That’s all I know about it. haha! But it was super good and had some really awesome authentic German food!

Two times this week, all of the missionaries in Leipzig got together to do a street display. Our theme for the week was that we can be together with our families for eternity. It was really cool to hear the opinions of so many other beliefs. Many people believe the same that we do. One day we will all live together for eternity. :) It is such a happy message and I hope that everyone has the opportunity to hear about it one day. We sang songs, I played my violin on the street and we talked to people. You really can't get any cooler of an experience than being on the mission.

Mom asked me a question last week, “what is one of the most important things I would want investigators of the church to know?”

I feel the most important thing for me that my investigators understand is that they have a Heavenly Father that loves them and that they are his children. For you I can say that sometimes it is easy to forget what it means to be a daughter of God. There is so much going on in the world that we can forget. But through sincere prayer, He will remind us of who we are and really help

us be able to make sure that the things we do are according to His will so that one day we can reach our full potential and that one day we can see him again.

One sister in the ward here yesterday was talking about how important prayer is. She talked about how Heavenly Father knows us perfectly. But, she said that He still wants to keep getting to know us and learn more about us and our experiences so that when we return with Him one day, it won't be like a being out on a mission where you have all these things you suddenly want to tell Him, but it will be so familiar and loving. We will have already communicated with Him our whole lives so that we already know each other.

I want to know my Heavenly Father so well, that when I see Him in heaven, I can hug Him and feel that Fatherly love. That is the most important thing for me. God loves you. :)

Transfers! This week we got our transfer call! I will be staying here in Leipzig, but Sister Mittleman will be leaving me to go to Cottbus. I am excited to spend more time here in Leipzig though. I will miss Sister Mittleman dearly but will see her again in the near future.

I love you all and I hope that you have a lovely week!
