Hallo Liebe Familie!!

Happy Birthday to cutie Danae this week!!! I wish you the BEST on the

9th!! I love you Danae, you are amazing!

Well, things have seriously been HOT this last week! It has been in

the high 90's, combined with humidity, and no one believes in air

conditioning or anti-perspirant. Bring on the hair-up- dos and

sandals!

Well this last week has been great, little by little things are coming

along, and including the weather, Kiel is looking up!

The biggest miracle this week was a random phone call we got after

district meeting on Wednesday. I had left the meeting feeling a bit

discouraged about all that I felt I needed to do, and wasn't doing in

our area to have our work improve. Then about 15 minutes later, we're

walking down the street, and this lady called, said she had our card

from sisters last year, and wanted to meet with us! "I know some

members of your church nearby, and I know you talk to people about the

BOM, and the bible. And I've been searching for what religion I should

have in my life, and I think I want to go this direction." .... Can

you say MIRACLE??? We went two days later to her house, and she is the

cutest lady ever! Super in tune with the spirit, and wants to search

LDS.org, and read everything we have. Most of all, she is really

searching for answers in her life- sincere investigator everyone!

So we are stoked to work with her!!

After, we got lunch at the beach (she lives at Laboe) and ate crepes

and hot dogs in celebration of the holiday. Everyone stared at us in

our matching 4th of July sweaters, but I think they were just jealous.

Also during the week, we met with some other investigators, but they

don't have sincere interest yet, so we are helping them to see the

"why" in the gospel and what it can mean for them.

We also went to Eckernförde for a less active, and saw jellyfish in

the harbor! Apparently they come in waves this time of year, and this

is just the first one!

Sunday we went to Rendsburg, as it was their last official meeting as

a branch. Their branch is now dissolved, and is in our Kiel Ward now.

It is super hard for all these members, many have been in the branch

for 30+ years. And the drive to Kiel isn't an easy one either, but the

Lord will bless these members with a way! I was able to play the piano

for them, singing "Gott Sei Mit Euch Bis Aufs Wiedersehn" (God be with

you till we meet again) at the end. We're excited to see them in our

building next week!!

Biggest thing mission wise- we officially have a new president!! We

will have our Zone Conference with him this Wednesday! He sounds so

nice and I'm excited to meet him!

Sounds like everyone had an awesome 4th of July, I hard being away

from family this time of year, but I am blessed to feel so close to

you! ( "I feel so close to you right now, it's like a force field!"-

some famous artist)

Anyways, the gospel is true, I've been learning a lot this week about

the role of faith in seeing miracles! If we're not looking for them,

they won't come. I know that we can and DO see miracles everyday, God

is very aware of us!

 Thanks for your support!! Have a wonderful week! Bis nächste Woche!

I love you all!!!
