Guten morgen Mutti!!!!!!!
You’re in Tennessee,,, is that where the road sounds like a horse or something,,,, not really sure, I forgot haha. Oh gotta love the traffic between nc and Missouri! I’m sure it’s frustrating, but hey it gives you and dad more time together!!! Paul Dallenbach is doing great!!! He came to church and he really enjoyed it!!! He is pretty old and soo funny! He made like 6 or 7 comments in the priesthood class! He was really into it and I think he feels at home here.

Pascha Suleymann also has a baptismal date for the 24 of June. He says that in 100 or 200 years, everyone will be a member of this church. As we saw the restoration for the first time, the DVD that is, he said, “Aw das ist warhheit.” Oh casually, or almost obviously, that the restoration is true! haha He said that he has hundreds of friends that will be baptized! He’s the best, he is from turkey and he absolutely loves America. He is sure that god is there and that he hears and answers our prayers!! he’s about 45 or 50 and acts like he is 25. he’s the best.

I love the people here!!

I will pray to the father... I love him. Umm yea. Yesterday, the high council speaker talked about the story of Jesus and the woman at the well. At one point Jesus says if you knew with whom you were speaking, you would have asked and he would have given you living water. I really feel that it is important to realize how important every single person is. Do you realize who you are mama, you are going to be able to become like heavenly mother. Or at least, a little bit more like her! Our potential is amazing; to realize that all the people have that potential and that Christ died for that person that they have the opportunity. Wow he loved them so much that he died for them, and we sometimes hurt them... what?, that must hurt Jesus so badly when we hurt one another. He had to suffer that, which we caused, so that he could give them comfort wow. I wont do anything wrong again or at least try. I love you mama. Have full faith and believe in angels. Heavenly father loves us.

Hey Father!
I love working for the lord and serving the people here!!!!!

Haha i love chuck e cheese. As a kid, you think that you can truly win more that you pay for, but its always something much smaller... 40 dollars for a couple of pixie sticks, although that isn’t bad for Switzerland! haha
  
This week we learned some Swiss songs from the old ladies with whom we walk with at the old people home. It was the best! By the end, we were singing along about how there is no other land more beautiful than Switzerland.  We also had a dinner appointment with an Ellsbeth Jordi... Annagreth should know her, it was in her house that Sister Jordi first met with the missionaries... well anyway she’s awesome and sang some yodel songs for us! That was hilarious and awesome... did you ever get to experience that??

People have no idea why we are here on earth. They have no idea of their potential that they have and no idea that the lord can guide them through life.  I am so grateful that we can pray to heavenly father and receive answers. That is the most truthful thing that I know! We can always trust and rely on him and when we do what he says, we WILL receive the blessings!!!
Oh man it’s the best. I love the gospel.
Yesterday at church, I truly understood what the meaning of the scripture, or at least how I can apply the scripture in 1 Nephi 3.7. The spirit showed me that I need and can always rely on the spirit and the promises of the lord. When he expects something, he always provides a way for me to accomplish it!!! It goes along with my patriarchal blessing and the promises I received about my mission. We always have to do our part and when we do that, the lord cant do much more than bless us in a way that will help us learn and grow in the most amazing way!
Christ lives. This is his church and it is the truth. Thanks for raising me in it.
