You look like Mike Tyson

 Happy late mother day to All of the amazing mothers!!

This week we ran into one of our New members that we've been working with. We set up a super spontaneous meeting and I got to meet him. He's so nice and way cool. During the middle of our Quatsch session he turns to me and says "you look like Mike Tyson" So that was kind of weird. I guess my facial structure is super similar to his haha. Also another embarrassing Story is that we made banana bread and we're going to drop it off at less actives. We klingle this one lady and we get in but we have no idea which floor she lives on and there's only an elevator. So we go up a floor and check all the doors to find her name and then we get back into the elevator. On the 3rd floor there's this woman and she just kinds of looks at us while we search. We ask her if she knows where the woman were searching for lives and she says no. So right before we leave we ask what her name is and it's the Lady we've been looking for! It was so embarrassing just walking around the floor looking for her while she just watched us....
But this week has been really good all full of wundars!! On Saturday we decided to go street contacting and it was close to the time when we needed to head back. We decided to go back through the Park instead of heading straight home. While we're walking we stop and really try to find someone who's ready. We stop this guy and start talking to him. We tell him about the book of Mormon and says that he would be interested to read it some time. As a missionary I'm always carrying one around with me so I'm able to give it to him and he told us that he would read some of it! Sadly we made the mistake of only giving him our number and so we haven't been able to contact him since, but we still have the faith. 
Then one day while were on the train, I decide to hold my book of Mormon. This guy looks at it and I ask if he's heard of it. He said no and I was able to tell him a bit about it. He sadly had to get off and we only had time to hand him our card. This guy does text! We've set up a lesson for tomorrow and we're talking more about the book of Mormon!
The last one is that a week ago Sister Maughan posted in a Facebook group chat asking if people would be interesting in meeting and talking about God. We got a lot of hate for it but we have actually been able to meet up with 2 people from it! One of them asked for 3 books of Mormon which we were pretty skeptical about. But come to find out he's a less active member and wanted them for his friend. His name is Logan and he's from Australia! He's super nice and actually gave us a hello fresh dinner for our trouble. The dinner include fresh Steak and it was sooo good. Other than the good food he mentioned that he's never taken the lessons and would be interested in taking them with us. I just think its so cool how much the lord blesses us when he Sees that we're working hard and willing.
Other that that we've spent a lot of time on the train, traveling from one side of our area to the other. It's not my favorite thing in the World but it's okay. We've been delivering books of Mormons and visiting with less actives. It's been a good week!
Love you all!

Happy birthday dad 🥳

  This week was a little bit of a Rollercoaster. I had to give my farewell talk in the branch due to the fact that we have stake conference, fast and testimony meeting, and general conference. I shared the spiritual defining moments from my mission. If you want the talk I will be happy to send it to you. It was a great opportunity for me to look back on my mission and remember the great experiences that I have had.  We had a great lesson with Ali, he is making so much progress. He knows a lot about Christianity and just soaks everything up. My German grandpa is the one that helps bring him to church and lessons and he always brings so much food for us to eat. This week he made us chocolate milk, cake, and Brötchen with cheese. He also wants Ali to be baptized as soon as possible so that I can be here. But Ali's soul means a lot more to me than being there and helping a baptismal count. I want him to wait until he feels absolutely ready and understands the huge promise he would...

Apparently I'm Ms. Darbus

  There's not a whole lot to report from this last week. The past few days I was sick and not feeling very well so we tried to keep low for a while. We met with a member and he bought us ice cream. I got through about 5 bites and couldn't eat anymore. He looked at me in the nicest way possible and told me that I looked dumbfounded, bored, and sick. It was quite the roast, but he's super precious so it was okay.  Ali is progressing really well. All of the ward members love him and are always eager to help. He started smoking again recently due to all the stress that he's been dealing with. Our member who picks him up from church taught him about the word of wisdom in his limited English. He decided then that he was going to stop smoking. He prayed that night to have the strength to stop smoking. The next morning he couldn't find his pack of cigarettes. He took it as a sign that he needed to stop smoking and that god answered his prayer. He hasn't smoked since the...

Wunder Zeit

  This was a quick week so I'm not sure if I'll have a lot to report, buttt! We still had so many miracles.  Ali, who we found a couple weeks ago on the street came to church for the first time this week. I was a bit nervous, because he doesn't speak German and no one in the ward speaks Persian. The ward was so good with him and just welcomed him with open arms. During elders Quorum, they translated the talk into Persian so that he could read along. The lesson ended a bit early and so they had him tell his story. Ali used Google translate and told them about his sad past leaving Iran and Ukraine. He explained how we met and knew that if he would've been on a different side of the street, that we never would've met him. He knows that God led him to us. He texted us after and told us that it was the best day of his life. He loved church and had a feeling that he already knew all of the people there. During sacrament, I passed him the gospel art book. I thought if anyo...
