The Church is True the Book is Blue

This week man...

Oh wow.

We started off pretty confident, excited for the appointments we had

set up with some new people we found. Those all fell through. I still

have not grasped the concept of telling someone you will meet them

somewhere, even giving them your number, and then not coming and

ignoring all their calls. But it's OK. We're good. I'm over it....sort

of :)

Then with all the investigators we do have, Sister Bécsi and I left each

appointment looking at each other saying, "....yeah....they are not

ready yet. We should stop meeting them."
We did have a spontaneous exchange with the St. Gallon Sisters though

and that was fun! No one had called us all transfer for exchanges or

anything so we just kind of figured we'd been forgotten out here in

Schaffhausen but then suddenly the sister training leaders from the

neighboring zone called us and said we had to do exchanges with them,

the very next morning. That was way fun. Got to work with Sister

Svovadova from the Czech Republic.

It was just one of those weeks where you get the feeling that no one

wants you here haha. We just had several conversations where people

try to throw you off or tell you you're wrong or pat you on the

shoulder and say, it's really cute what you're trying to do here but I

don't care.

Yesterday we had district finding day and a man grabbed sister Bécsi's arm and

told her he was taking her to the police. Haha oh man. He demanded to

see our ministering certificate and called the police and then they

came and it was all messy and poor Sister Bécsi had no idea what was

going on and I was just trying to handle it with my limited German...

but all is well.

It's moments like these when you treasure your personal study time

where you remind yourself of what you know to be true. Sister Bécsi

and I were talking about it a bit. We both agreed, there are lots of

things where your testimony kind of wavers and you're not always 100%

sure. But that's OK. Because then you rely on the things you DO know.

I think that's different for everybody. Sister Bécsi and I are similar

and say that the thing for us that we will always know to be true is

the Book of Mormon. I really know it's a true book. And not just that

the people that wrote it lived and all that, but that the teachings and

prophecies in it are true. I'm so grateful to have a book that I can

study and trust to be absolutely true. I think in difficult testimony-

shaking-moments of life, it's so important to remind yourself of what

you DO know, not what you're not sure of. And I'm so grateful that in

shaking moments this week, the Book of Mormon could help me stay

strong in my calling as a missionary.

Have a fabulous week!!

(Oh wait, transfer calls came and we're staying her in Schaffhausen

and I'm super pumped. Sister Bécsi and I have fun together haha)
