Miracles!!!

Got transfer calls! I will be training a new 19 year old missionary fresh from the MTC (maybe.. they seem to just send them straight here since there are so many nowadays!) and I will stay here in the Frankfurt International Ward. I am very sad to see Sister Heindel go and not to mention it kind of puts on the pressure of taking over the Frankfurt Queen. She has been here her whole mission (8 months) and knows the city like the back of her hand and she has the members wrapped around her fingers. No pressure! No it will be completely fine because ever since we got the call, I had a sense of peace come over me. I know that Heavenly Father calls people to do His work, and He calls them because they are qualified, and so for that I am grateful that He has chosen me to train a new dedicated servant of the Lord and to help her learn how the missionary work rolls forward here in Germany!! We saw so many miracles this week!! Miracle 1: We are teaching a Muslim. For all those who don't know how much of a miracle this really is, Muslims kill their own people if they find out someone is learning about Christ and leaving another religion.  It was amazing to see how much he wants to be happy. And he is very nervous to be in the church and to be taught. We can tell because he kept figgiting and looking out at the door and out the window.. Poor guy.. Religions should not make anybody fear for their lives. It felt so right to teach him about Jesus Christ and about eternal families, and he wants that!! He wants a happier life. He is the right place :) And I admire his courage. Miracle 2: We were able to go the temple with some of our recent converts for their first time: Alejandra (Peru) and Li (China)! It is one thing to see people walk into the waters of baptism, but it is also another sight to see when they are all in white sitting in the temple. This is what it is all about. The gospel of Jesus Christ helps us have better lives, but it also blesses others lives as well. The feeling that comes from within the temple is not known anywhere else, besides heaven :) I testify of that. It was a beautiful sight to see. And also speaking of the temple, we recieved a call from a member from Dortmund asking me if I could give them a temple tour on Saturday because the new converts there and the members are coming for their Temple weekend!! I hope to see them, what joy it will bring to my heart! Miracle 3: We were able to get a hold of a man that was basically unreachable. His name is Daniel. We had his number, we called it, and the man who answered hung up right away. We had the address of the place where he was staying, went there not knowing his last name. Oh how wonderful it is to have trust in the Lord and to see how His hand is in our lives. We go up to the main desk and asked the man that we were looking for a man named Daniel and that he arrived last week and asked us to visit him. He looked on the computer and said that we needed his last name. Not having it I looked to Sister Heindel with worried eyes, and then right when I was about to give up, a name came to my mind and said it out loud. The man looked it up and found him, gave us the number of the house, and told us how to get there. Where did that name come from? How is that even possible? I guess I've got friends in high places! We went to the place and found Daniel. He is recovering from drug and alcohol addiction in this center. We were able to bear our simple but yet powerful testimonies about the amazing power Jesus Christ has to help us with overcoming addictions. We shared with him a story explaning how Jesus Christ can help us. We asked him if he has the faith in that Jesus Christ could help him, and he unwaveringly said yes. We shared the Book of Mormon with him and asked him to read from it and we are going back next week :) He has so much faith and he truly wants to change and it is possible! I am so excited for him to experience that. I love what Christ teaches us about forgiveness and healing. He is our Healer, and He is always there to help us with anything that we need. All we need to do is ask Him, and He will come. I promise you that. Love you all!! Liebe, Sister Tuschling
