Still having a great time!!!

Sister Heindel and I are still having a great time. We still are laughing like crazy but still working hard. We reached 20 lessons together!! We visited people when we could and kept going when we were very hungry and thirsty. One day was truy so crazy. On Saturday we didn't have any appointments so those days are called "white days" because there is nothing but white on your planner. Usually again this would worry me, but from experience and our two level heads, we were able to fill it up with ideas on what we should do. And we were excited about it too!! We had 6 families to go by on and we hoped and prayed that they would be home so we could teach them and have them feel the spirit. The morning came and we looked outside and it was a winter/white wonderland. I opened the balcony door to see if it was as cold as it appeared and yup, "da stimmt" it was freezing!! So we bundled up and did our normal studies next to our warm heater and every once and awhile we would look at each other and laugh and shake our heads because we knew we were going go out there and spend the enitre day out there. We finish up, and bundle up a little bit more and then we headed out into the blizzard like storm. I have been through worse in Wyoming but the humidity here makes it so much more colder! But we kept on walking forward because we knew that Heavenly Father would guide and protect us to what He wanted us to do. We ended up visiting with a member in the Offenbach Ward and her friend. And it was perfect timing when we saw Monika because she was on her way to go have "coffee" with her friend and she invited us to join her. We were able to teach about prayer and the Book of Mormon and it was awesome!! She was not a German native speaker, so it was hard to communicate but I was grateful that I was able to use simple vocabulary so that she could understand perfectly how much Heavenly Father loves her. And we have an appointment set up for next week :) Miracles! They happen even if the weather is -9 degrees Celcius with a wind chill!! And then we went by on some people who have been sick for a little bit now and gave them the warmth from which the gospel brings. I am so grateful that we were able to bring that to them. They all had smiles on their faces when we left, and so did we :) I love the gospel and I love the church. I love my companion and I love Frankfurt. I love this work!! It changes and saves lives :) Thank you for all that you do, keep going. Even if you think its too hard, its not. Just look to Heavenly Father and ask for His help. He is there. And He watches over us every second. He knows our concerns and He wants to help, we are the ones that need to go to Him first :) I have a testimony of that. Liebe, Sister Tuschling
