Peace

The gospel brings so me much peace. I am so happy to be able to study and teach and learn all day long about such an amazing topic. I find myself so happy all the time, and it is a really good kind of happy, a deep down pure, full of joy happy! I love Germany more and more everyday I walk out side my apartment door and feel the humid fall air. I am so grateful for this opportunity I have to serve in Berlin!

Ich habe Berlin so viel lieb!!!

 We went to the East Side Gallery this week, and saw the remains of the wall. It was so amazing, I absolutely loved it!

Around town

This is my neighborhood. this is wear I live. I have been here for a long time, but I am still finding really pretty new scenes that I appreciate more and more every day. In German, the sky is called der Himmel, but that also means heaven, I love it because the sky really does look like heaven all the time! the big fluffy white clouds, and the deep clear blue sky. I love it so much!

I eat a pretzel just about every day! there is a good bakery next to the bahn station that we are at a lot. and the pretzels are always fresh and soft. I love them! 

Companionships

I am so grateful for all of the friendships that I am building on my mission. It is such a wonderful time in life to work with amazing people and get really close to them. I learn so much from the people that I am around, and love it so much!

Its a little bit late, but I am so so excited to welcome sister Hahn to the beautiful city of Glienicke!! We have already served together for a few weeks now, and she is so awesome! I am learning so much from her, and we are just having a blast!

after Sister Schöpf left me for a couple weeks, I got to see her again for her last weekend in Berlin! It was such a fun reunion! I am going to miss her!

YA DEUTSCHLAND!

​YA DEUTSCHLAND! 

we celebrated the win of the world cup by wearing our germany socks and then buying a soccer ball pretzel. It was such a fun experience to be in Germany when they won! It was so fun to hear everyone celebrate with screaming and yelling and fireworks! I just sat there and waited till I heard yelling! I felt like I was watching the game myself. It was pretty suspenseful!

camping out

I love Berlin! 

I am loving Berlin with my whole heart! It is such an amazing place.

We slept on our balcony in honor of the fourth of July! It was the closest we could get to feeling like we were camping in the summer time. 

New companion

This week I got a new companion. Her name is Sister Schoepf, she is from highland utah, and has been on her mission for 16 months. She is so cool, and we get along great! I will be her last companion, and will send her back to america is august. We have lots and lots of fun together! and its just been a really great week!

It has been a good four months! 4 months away from home, away from family and friends, away from the life that I know. 4 months of Berlin, of learning and speaking a new language, of teaching and preaching, of loving strangers, and making friends. It has been such an amazing experience, and I am so grateful for this opportunity that I have!!
