Grüß euch!!
So, I'm gonna let
you in on a little secret: I hate being the center of attention. Fact.
Change of subject:
we have a couple new progressing investigators His name is Emmanuel, from
Nigeria. The Duisburg Sisters contacted him a couple months ago while waiting
for us to split, and we were finally able to get ahold of him. He's Golden :)
he's catholic, but very curious, and open to the church. He's come to church
twice, last week, and yesterday, and he came to Gemeinde Abend as well, he's
been doing all his "homework," and the members are friendshiping him
like mad, which is way cool. I'm sad to go, but Sister Pettitt will be able to
handle it, and Sisters Sant will also be a wonder here. I'm excited for them :)
Oh, yeah. Transfer
calls were on Saturday, and this Sister is getting transferred. To the
Wiesbaden (vees-bah-den), American Military ward. I've been to Wiesbaden a
couple times on splits, but I don't know a lot about the city or history or
anything. I know I'm gonna be right on the Rhine river, and see all the history
and amazingness of Wiesbaden. I'm so excited!! My companion is one of the
Sisters from my MTC group, Sister Lyman. I don't know a ton about her yet. I
know that she's really hard working, and diligent, and just a star of amazing
selflessness. I'm excited to get to know her better :)
We also got a
contacted referral from a member. The referral was her sister-in-law, Beate
(bay-ah-teh), who has MS, and doesn't get a lot of visitors, and the Essen
Sisters now have a "go" to start meeting with her, sharing music, and
the gospel, and just be her friends. Once again, I'm sad I don't get to see
this to the end, but I'm excited that it will be done, with or without me.
All four Essen Missionaries
helped one of our LA move on Saturday. She had a lot to do, still, so we spent
most of the afternoon and evening there helping as much as we couple. Schw.
Heerhost, when she found out I'm bring transferred said "oh, my angel is
leaving!" And gave me a big hug. Then, though out the move, kept calling
me over to give me little odds and ends as tschüss Geschenk (good- bye gifts).
It was the sweetest thing on the planet, and I almost started crying. I don't
want to go, but I just keep humming the song "I'll go where you want me to
go," over and over in my head. I'm sad to go, but I know it's time. This
new area will be good it's going to be weird functioning in all English during
church again. I wonder if the block is the same as in America.
Sorry this week's
letter is short. Not a ton of explosive exciting things happened this week.
I love you all, and
hope that you have a good week.
-Sister Montgomery
