It is a really interesting feeling, coming to the end of my mission.
However, I know God is still watching over me and helping me make the best of
it.
This week I tried my hand at spätzle. It tasted great (not so
attractive picture, but great food!) Definitely something I will be making
often at home!
We had interviews with the Mission President in München. President
told me a few stories from his mission. He really was a cool missionary. Our
mission will learn a TON from him.
This week, we were helping in the Seifert's garden. Gardening is starting
to be one of my favorite activities. We walked over to the neighbors just to
see theirs. Well we just got talking and they are so awesome and want to see us
again, SO EASY IS THAT FOLKS.
So this week I got pretty discouraged. This discouragement leads to frustration.
Well after asking someone a German question on the street and having them tell
me to leave them in peace. I was pretty discouraged. A couple things happened
so we were going to visit someone later than expected. But as I got into the bahn
(train), who was sitting there but the potential I had given up on the night
before. As soon as I sat down she was hugging me and asking if we could meet
sometime. She told me when we met a month ago, she was having a pretty hard
day, but she was a lot happier after talking to us and receiving the Book of Mormon.
Well we finally have an appointment with her, and Sister Regnier feels stupid.
But it just goes to show, missionary work is never for nothing. No matter how
hard you try and don’t see success, there is success somewhere.
This week the Relief Society had an activity of seeing a beautiful garden
in Augsburg at night. We invited a girl that Sister Smith and I had met a while
ago. She came and we had the best lesson ever. We ended up sitting down,
talking about how God is our father and how we can pray to him and really
receive answers in his creations. She came to church the next day and told me
she would definitely be coming next week. When I asked if we could meet with
her during the week, she couldn't have been happier.
We had 2 investigators at church on Sunday. So yah, it was a good
week. Missionary work is the best, most rewarding kind of work. But it definitely
takes a toll. I have NEVER been so tired as I am this week. I don’t even know
how I am functioning.
Love you!
Sister Regnier
