Forever

Hey everyone!! 

This week was MEGA long. It honestly seemed like it went on forever and ever but I'm guessing it was because it was so jammed full. I had 5 mini exchanges, 1 full exchange, 1 Zone Meeting, lots of miracles and basically nonstop go go go.

Sister Petter and I decided to do the same thing we did last transfer and set goals with all of the sisters for the upcoming transfer. It is really interesting to see how each different missionary wants to improve themselves and it motivated me to want to improve as well. I know that I have a lot of faults but that's going to be a part of life and seeing how they want to be better REALLY pushes me to try and be better as well. 

This week we also led a Zone Meeting, now typically the Zone Leaders are in charge and guide the whole meeting but this zone meeting they planned a few things but half way through their training they just passed it to us... kind of weird right. We had no idea what they wanted us to say or do but we just rolled with it. It ended up going pretty well and hopefully the zone liked all that we had to say. 

I had an exchange with the one and only Sister Hein yesterday which honestly made the Monday, which usually DRAGS on, fly by insanely fast. We were able to teach a lesson to the miracle family from last week and they are still SO incredible. I cannot even Express how amazing they are. They actually want to learn and they want us to help them along the way... I am so incredible blessed that God put them into my life and I thank Him everyday that He trusts me to help them as they progress their way towards eternal life. 

The Elders also didn't have a dinner because they had to move a bunch of missionaries around so we ended up feeding them leftovers outside of our apartment. They were honestly so grateful. Poor Elders were starving and had to literally move mattresses up 3 flights of stairs... that's dedication if I've ever heard any.

Joe (someone we are teaching) also came to in person church!! It was actually kind of funny how it all worked out but ultimately we couldn't find a ride for him so we ended up borrowing bikes so we could bike with him to the church building and he wouldn't be lost along the way. It was the most missionary thing I think I have ever done and I will definitely never forget it. 

That's it for this week but I love you all!!
Remember God is in the details!!
