Hallo Liebe Familie und Freunde,
Hey, so we got transfer calls this week- and I'm going to
Dresden!!!!
I am soooo excited, yet so sad to leave Kiel! Yesterday was
so busy,
saying goodbye to everyone. It's super hard to say bye to
Sister
Davis--but good thing we're soul sisters. :) We'll see each
other
again!
Dresden is the most gorgeous, historic city! It has the best
Christmas
Markets in all of Germany apparently... Can you say
blessed?? My new
companion will be Sister Flake, and it will be her last
transfer on
the mission! I'll be working in two wards, because we are
over two
programs and it sounds like the area is just amazing! I am
sooo
excited!!
This week a lot of, well, everything fell out.. Haha. The
Ukaj family
is still fighting for us, against the governments wishes, so
we
haven't been able to meet with them. And Birgit has also
been
struggling, and we haven't had much contact. But I know the
Lord is
very aware of her, she is very special. Things will turn
around, but
it'll take some ground to get back to where she was.
Our amazing mission couple, the Cooks left this week, so we
had some
good celebrations for them! It's hard to see them go,
especially for
Sister Davis as she is still in Kiel, without them! We made
a small
slideshow and a cake, and sang to them Wednesday night! It
had them in
tears, we counted that as a success. :) Kiel will receive a
new couple
next week, so they are counting their blessings.
We also had an awesome time this weekend, we went to Hamburg
with our
STLs and had a complete party- missionary style. We are so
blessed, it
was the perfect switch up just before transfer calls. And we
had
Crêpes for breakfast... Unhealthy.. but crazy delicious. :)
I was able to do a musical number on Sunday with a less
active sister
who is coming back, more and more regularly! It was great,
and I'm so
grateful to know her. We performed "I believe in
Christ" because she
had this song at her baptism, and it has such an impact on
her. She
played the flute, and I, the piano.
One cool story of the week: As we were practicing our song
one evening
at the institute center, a man walked in just to use the
restroom. He
stopped as he saw a sign in the entry way that said,
"Wissen Sie
Bescheid?" Or "Do you know?" And he asked,
"What am I supposed to know
about?" We told him it was the perfect question, and we
ended up
talking for a while about the BOM, and why it's necessary to
know
truth. After Sister Davis gave her testimony, I bore mine
and I felt
such a power and peace come to me that I know I was being
led by the
spirit. The man, awesomely named Olaf, was very impressed by
our
testimonies, took a BOM and said he would read it! Sadly
he's not from
Kiel, but I feel confident that the spirit made a very
strong
impression on him. #seedplanted
Thanks for all your support! I'm so grateful for all that
I've learned
in Kiel, the people I've gotten to know, and can't wait to
see what
Dresden brings! I know the Lord will build us to accomplish
whatever
He asks of us. I am a witness of that, especially as I'm
transferred
and things change. It is not me that is able to do all these
things,
but it is Him!
In Liebe,
Sister Titensor
