Week of 6/28
Helloooo from Germantown!! The land of my people!! Believe it or not, but I actually haven't met a single person here from Germany so that is quite disappointing.
This week we had a cool miracle moment when we ran into this super awesome lady named Naomi. We were driving back from an appointment and the sun was glowing hot pink so we pulled over by the airport to watch it for a second. A cute lady, Naomi had the same idea and we started talking. She moved here from Sri Lanka and has such a strong faith in Christ and wants to talk more with us!!
The first part of the week was a LOT of goodbyes. I have loved the people we've been able to meet and I'm excited to hear about where they go next!
We exchanged on Wednesday to our new areas and said goodbye to 30 missionaries! My new companion, Hermana Grate is an absolute icon and is pretty much me except she is a horse girl. Also, something funny about this is that our companionships did service 2 months ago and I was joking around that we were going to be companions and now here we are!!!! And for our trainee, Sister Webber! She's a cute girl from Utah and for those who are wondering, she is my 12th companion from Utah!!
We've been super busy getting to know the area and meeting everyone. The ward is SO fun and we are excited because they asked us to really help with the youth program and reactivation. YAYYYY. I am so grateful for the missionaries that were awesome examples to me as a youth so I'm excited for this to all come full circle and to be really involved with the youth.
Another tender mercy moment! Our cute new missionary was having a super rough time adjusting and just needed a mom hug. We were planning outside and a storm started rolling in so we cruised the Amish Market (literally heaven). While we were inside, Sister Webber saw her best friend from middle school and her family!! Her friend's mom gave her the mom hug she was looking for and it was such a tender mercy for her to see a familiar face from home. God is so involved in the details of our lives!!
I love this work and I'm excited to finish off with a bang. Twenty minutes ago when I started writing this, it was sunny. Now it's pouring. Thanks Maryland.
Love yall!
