This Was Not The Language They Taught Me In The MTC

Family!!!! Oh I am soooooo happy to finally have some time to write you!

Let me tell you, so much has happened, soo many miracles I have seen everyday I have been here, I know that Heavenly Father is with us every step of the way in missionary work.... First off I am serving in an area called Kreuzlingen! Which is an awesome area, we live in Germany, but everyday we literally walk into Switzerland then ride trains to everyplace, investigators homes, members and so on... My Comp is Elder Strauss from Germany and he is pretty ripped to the bone, not going to lie. Everyday he gets up at 5 to work out and stay fit, one day I will be as big as him, but probably not:) Well I am still quite limited on time so here goes a quick update..

In the past week we have commited two investigators to be baptized and they said yes!!!!!!!!!! So that is really awesome:) 

One miracle happened to me as I was riding the train from Munich to Kreuzlingen... So I was with some elders that had been out for almost 2 years, and we all started to talking to this young lady, Kortina, she was 22 and just going home from work. We started to talk to her and she was really interested with our beliefs, one elder asked if any of us had an I am a Mormon card, all the missionaries said no, but I knew I had one. So I went into the back of the train to get the cards. When I went back, I remembered that I had shipped the bag with all my cards and realized I didn't have any cards.. So I prayed with all my heart in the most simple and powerful prayer I have ever said.. I remember distinctly not being in control of myself, as my arm reached into my coat, and pulled out an I am a Mormon card.... Where had it come from? I don't honestly know... But Heavenly Father put it there... I know it. I had never put a card in my coat. I have such a testimony that God is a God of miracles. Why wouldn't he be? He is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow.. I love Him with all my heart. I am so grateful to Him.

 
Well it was fast Sunday and guess who had to bear testimony in aweful to German??? Any Guesses? Jeremy? Ashley? Jessica? Mom? Dad? No Guesses?!?!?!?!!? Fine, Ill tell you, I did! It was said with all my heart, but I don't know what I said..

Love you All,
