A really busy week!

We had a really super busy week!! As you know, last week I was double training Sister Miller and Sister Smith. It was good, I really enjoyed it. It was hard but I learned a lot. Tuesday we had a day of go bys and it was really tiring!! We have a list of people that we need to contact and see where they are at, and so we worked on this list. This meant that we really had to walk everywhere, ride Bahns, and again walk walk walk. We were so tired by the end of that day!! But we met a nice Italian man at the Eiscafe that we stopped by. I made sure that Sister Miller and Sister Smith had their first Italian Ice Cream and they loved it!! And it was actually really nice to talk to the man about religion and how he misses Italy but it happy to be independent working in Germany. I love talking and getting to know so many people's backgrounds and experiences. The next day was insane too! We had the opportunity to take a recent convert who is living in Paris studying design but is from China out on a split! Sister Miller and Sister Smith took her out with a list of names and appointments to make, and I went with the two Berlin Sisters who needed some real missionary work. It was good for Miller and Smith to get out and get to know Frankfurt the best way = getting lost haha. They did but they did great!! The only way to grow is when we are pushed to do something that we really don't know what or how to do it. And so Sister Prince and Sister Moon and I were able to visit people as well. They were so grateful and we didn't get a hold of anybody that we planned for but I believe that getting those two out of the office was worth. Small and simple things :) And I love making people's day!! Not to mention that I grew as well = getting lost in Frankfurt too haha Whoever thought about sending a Wyoming girl to a huge city in Germany has some humor :) We all met up later that night and shared what we learned and we were off to a meeting with the ward! I love our ward so much. They are so dedicated and on top of everybody. They have 93% home and visiting teaching!! And Bishop was gone for 3 weeks and man am I sad glad that he is back!! I love that guy so much!! We visited a lady in the hospital the other day and it was so nice to see her light up when she saw us. The moment they light up, I light up and for that I am so grateful. We sang songs for her, read from the scriptures for her, and then we had to leave. Right when I was putting on my backpack, she grabs my arms, and looks me in the eyes the best that she could anyways and said, "Pray for me." I couldn't help it, tears were in my eyes and I was a goner. I said that I would, and she has been in my prayers ever since. I love moments like that. It truly helps me see how much of a difference it makes when someone comes and shows just a tad bit of love; a compliment, a smile, a hug, a handshake, holding of the hand, a song to sing, a moment just looking into their eyes the way Christ would, they are all priceless, but yet mean the world to someone. I look for moments like that every day, and I am surprised when I find at least one a day. We can touch someone's life so easily, why don't we do it more? I love the feeling of helping other and making others feel special, because they are special. Everyone matters. Liebe, Sister Tuschling
