HOW IS IT MAY. Happy birthday Mary! You are a teenager now.
Thanks for sending me the maps dad hahahaha. Hey that is not too far from Spain! And its super close to Romania! I can´t tell you HOW many romanians there are here in Spain.. crazy how close we are! Team Europe.
I just want to say with all of my heart that THE GIFT OF TONGUES IS REAL. It is real. Don´t you fret Katie, the Lord will help you learn the language! Or should I say LANGUAGES. plural. Hahaha if it makes you feel any better I had to learn some african too.. ha.
I am so so so happy for you Katie! And not going to lie I am also a little anxious and scared! But it is going to be the most hard thing of your life and the most AMAZING thing of my life. I tribute all that I am am to what I learned on my mission and all that I am learning. Missions are theeee coolest most rewarding things on the possible.
Serving a full time mission at the age of 19 is the greater experience than you could EVER give yourself! I kid you not every. single. night. through good days and through the bad I get down on my knees and just thank my Heavenly Father for making this experience possible. I wish I could put it into words how cool missions are. I guess soon you will see for yourself! So proud of you Katie. Start praying for the people thats my advice for you.
My companion has gone there before and LOVED IT! She says that she went to this cute town called porec?? Katie I can totally picture you there.
Something that has in mind CONSTANTLY this week is 1 Nefi 3:7
I felt prompted to share it with M. and A.during a lesson and they just ate it all up and LOVED it. How true is it though. EVERY single commandment that God gives us, big or small, is possible. He will always prepare a way for us to do it! ALWAYS! I have learned that so much here and it is something that I am learning even more day by day. As missionaries we can literally take our mission calls and the things we do as commandments. It doesn´t matter where you go, what you speak, or who you are.. the Lord will pull us through! I know that with all of my heart. Missions are hard and challenging every where. Whether you are in Idaho, South Africa, Spain, Nicaragua, or CROATIA its hard! But it is so worth is and so doable. (is that a word) It is so possible and only through Christ is it possible! It is HE that perfects us. We have these incredible spirits inside of us that are so capable of doing MIRACULOUS things.. its just us as humans that hold orselves back. Think about and PRAY about how we can better ourselves. The Lord will answer us! And He will provide us the means to be able to do it.
We had the most AMAZING zone meeting that I have ever had in my life. I would share with you ALL I learned but you all (minus dad) would probably be bored out of your minds. Keep in mind I am just in full missionary preachy mode these days ha.
But. I will share one thing with you that I loved.
Every day is a battle but every night is a VICTORY.
Isn´t that awesome? I think that is so so true! How hard is each and every day. They can be rough and they can be battles. BUT when we do our best and never lose the faith we can lay down in our beds later than night and just think success. I just want to take this mission I have here in Spain and RUN WITH IT while I have it.
I swear I have never had investigators with such delicate situations but I have been just praying every day to be filled with charity for them that they will be able to regonzise the love of God. I love in the scriptures when it talks about Nefi just crying out of love every NIGHT for the people. What a sweet goal. I wanna have that same love.
We are teaching a DARLING boy from Peru who is 12! He finally got to spain a few weeks ago. He is the son of a recently activated lady. He is a tender mercy!
I don´t know if I have told you about my awesome and amazingly talented companion hermana Carroll? Well she is legit AN ANGEL when she plays the violin. It is so pretty! And get this on Saturday two area 70s are coming to talk to all of the Madrid missionaries and they have asked my companion and I to do a musical number. Not nervous at all........ oh wait yes I am haha. We don´t have any music. But I am excited. We came up with a sweet medly to Savior Redeemer of my Soul and Called to Serve.
I can´t BELIVE that 3 transfers ago the idea first came to my mind that I could possibly be leaving my dear Tenerife. Time warp. Also my baby hits her 6 months soon.. WHAT? I hate the time thing. Yet I always find myself talking about it when Monday comes around..
LIV IS HOME? Wow! I can´t believe that. I remember her russian pictures with a russian syberian cat and russian coat coming up facebook like it was yesterday. Ha.
I love you all. I am SO soooo excited for you katie. I think we will probably overlap but there is a chance we may not depending on my release date. Gross. I hate the sound of that. But I pray that I will be able to see you before you head off to who knows what country haha.
SEE YOU IN 6! (DAYS)
Hermana Nydegger
