Quite an adventure this week!!

This week was absolutely gorgeous! It was like 50's and even low 60's!! I even whipped out the shoes instead of the boots and the spring jacket instead of the heavy coat! But today and last night it changed back to winter... Its freezing and windy but the spirits are still high. We are just too much fun everyone says. So many people in church yesterday have said, "I just wanted to say that I notice your relationship and it helps us to know that you are happy and that you work hard together." We had to many people come up and say that and we just looked at each other and smiled and made silly faces at each other. We had quite an adventure this week as well. We were still able to teach about 20 lessons a week which is really hard to do, and we did it because yesterday was the perfect missionary day, the day every missionary wants!! We woke up, I studied for my talk that I had to give in church about Agency, the ability to choose, and we got ready to leave for church. The sun was shining and we took the bus, got there and started helping out Bishop put Hymn books out so everyone could have one during the service, and then started greeting everybody that came into the door. Everyone had smiles on their faces, I think it was because it was so beautiful outside. They came in, we started Sacrament meeting, renewed our promises to Heavenly Father and then I was up to speak. Not really knowing what to say, or what to use, I just pored out my heart about how much Heavenly Father loves us so much that He gave us the chance to choose for ourselves. Think about every decision you have made today. Imagine if you didn't have that choice. How wound up and miserable would we be? I know I would not handle it well that is for sure, so I spoke and then sat down to Alejandra (from Peru and was baptized in November) and my wonderful companion :) Life couldn't get any better, but then when we walked into our Sunday School class there were two faces we didn't recognize. We met with them afterwards and they just came off the street and wanted to come to church and saw ours! We got their information and we are meeting with them tonight to teach them something that will forever change their lives!! After church we had a wonderful member eating appointment that was delicious and we were able to share a spiritual uplifting message with them. They are from Utah and are missionaries for the church right now, and they are related to Sister Murray from my singles branch back home!!! It was so amazing to talk with them about home and to talk about her and how she is doing. We then headed to the train station to meet with with Li (also was baptized recently in February and from CHINA). We took him to Königstein to meet with Justine (TingTing) from China who we are teaching. It was an amazing appointment!! We talked about prayer and the scriptures the entire time. I love teaching to people's needs!! Li did so good and they were just talking to each other in Chinese and even though I could not understand one word that was being spoken, I was able to really feel the spirit and see how Li was explaining how prayer has changed his life, and Justine believed everything he said. We were able to have her say the closing prayer and she did so fantastic :) I love hearing the prayers of those who have never really prayed before because they are so pure in heart and they have so much faith. We left that appointment wanting to yell from the tip top of the mountains with joy and just wanted to burst from happiness. I love this work so much and just even talking about prayer helps people come closer to Christ and to our Father in Heaven. I am so grateful for it. Thank you all for your support and prayers, they are heard and are helping this missionary here in Germany. Liebe, Sister Tuschling
