"Charlie's Angels"

I am so grateful to be a missionary.  Without being here I wouldn't have had the opportunity to witness Benjamin Petzold enter the waters of baptism on Saturday and receive the gift of the Holy Ghost yesterday.  Not only is he a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, but he is a father of 3 beautiful little girls that can now protect them with the Priesthood, a husband to a hard-working woman that can now live in harmony because she has a man that can take her to the temple (she was less active before), and now they can all be sealed together for time and all eternity together.  I am so grateful to be able to witness that.  I am so grateful to be on a mission to witness His hand in every situation and I know it is Him.  Tomorrow, Tuesday, June 26th, 2012 will be my 2 year anniversary of my baptism and I cannot explain how much this gospel means to me and how much I have learned.  I honestly don't know where I would be without it and I know for certain I wouldn't be here sharing it to Germany.  I wouldn't have the constant companionship of the Holy Ghost who is my Comforter and Protector.  I wouldn't have this burning desire to draw closer to Jesus Christ and learn more about him.  I wouldn't have this excitement to one day meet my Maker's face.  I wouldn't have this dream of having my family together forever in harmony.  I am so grateful to be a member of this beautiful gospel.  It saved my life and I am in forever debt to all those who helped me build faith and helped me recognize the truth.  I love it with all my heart, and I am forever changed.  Okay enough with the mushy gushy!  This week we have received another sister in Dortmund!!!  Her name is Sister Sprouse and is from Utah and is awesome!! We actually met each other in the MTC and we both know Rhett Long and we both don't know much German so we are going to grow so much together!  Sister Garlick is awesome at helping us with our German.  We are currently "Charlie's Angels" too.  Sister Garlick is shorter than me with brown hair and brown eyes, I am shorter than Sister Sprouse and I have red hair and green eyes, and Sister Sprouse is the tallest with blonde hair and blue eyes.  Dortmund watch out!!! Here we come!!!  I am excited to learn from them both and ready to get twice as much missionary work done!!  Thank you to all who read this and I am grateful for you.  Keep up the good work in the branch back home!!!  Alles Gute!!! ~Sister Tuschling  Alma 36:24
