Today I got this thought from
Uncle Randal:
"If your happiness depends on what someone
else does, I guess you do have a problem." - Richard Bach
That's pretty much exactly what I needed to hear.
And I am happy!
The thing is, now everything depends on a new
mission president who I don't know at all. So he would have to decide if it's
okay to pick me up (I have heard some mission president don't like that so
much) The other thing is I have heard of missionaries getting released over
skype . . . you would have to ask our stake president if he is okay with that.
Because maybe I should be released before we go galavanting around when you
come pick me up (that is, if you decide to).
Guess what this week is mission tour. That means
all the missionaries in Switzerland will be gathering in Zurich and we will be
hearing from Elder Timothy Dykes. We all filled out a questionnaire about our
missionary work and how well we apply preach my gospel so he will be hitting us
on our weaknesses.
Quote of the week:
Sister Blohm (yelling): "Heavenly Father and
President Miles want us to learn something from these trials! But I don't know
what!!!"
Looking at me (and no longer yelling):
"Sorry" (she was just apologizing for her minor outburst)
This is the best part . . . Then she looks up at
the ceiling and says to Heavenly Father: "Sorry" (So she apologized
to Him too. I thought it was so funny.)
Thank you to . . .

So this week we were having a downer day but it was
so cool because then God pulls out the miracles. That day we ran into one of
our members and a less active on the bus and the member had just helped the
less active go to the doctor. Then that same day as we were visiting another
less active and another rockstar member stopped by to help her with some
paperwork. It just showed me how great this ward really is. Another day we ran
into yet another less active on the bus and she told us she had invited a
friend to church!!! Wait it gets better. They both came!! And she brought her
two daughters! Wait it gets better. We're having a lesson with all three of
them tonight at the bishop's house!! It does not get any better than that.
Also we went to the baptism of a little girl in our
ward on Saturday and that was nice. We had invited people but they
didn't come. But a member told us how nice she thought it was to have
missionaries there at a baptism for a little person because of the reminder to
do missionary work.
We also had this awesome choir event yesterday
night! I had a few friends I know from Schaffhausen there! It made me a little
homesick. (Home still equals Schaffhausen more or less). But it was so good.
They sang Homeward Bound in German!
Well I love you!!! Keep reading and praying and
going to church. No, seriously it's important.
