well i'm sorry to say that nothing really exciting is going on. anna was suppose to come to church on sunday. she didn't. me, sister ranzenberger, elder hopkins and elder marsh sang in sacrament meeting. i played the piano and sang at the same time. we sang nearer my God to thee. but in german of course.
kai is doing good. we had lunch with him the other day. i really enjoy being friends with him. but i dont think he's going to join the church any time soon. he's graduating at the end of next month and going back to the states the beginning of august. plus he's got this girlfriend here and he just really isn't thinking about his eternal salvation at the moment. we're just keeping contact with him and hoping that maybe in the future he'll remember our friendship and join the church.
we're really struggling to find people. our finding time has improved. but no one wants to give us their contact or meet with us. so we just have anna. its kind of depressing.
speaking of that...i have absolutely no motivation to do the work. i wake up, pray because i'm suppose to. i do my studies and get out and do the work because that's what missionaries do. and then i come home, and pray and go to sleep. i just go through the motions. i keep the rules and i do what i'm suppose to. the days just fly by and i feel like nothing changes. its the same every day. i absolutely LOVE Heidelberg. i LOVE Germany, i like speaking german sometimes. i talk to people by myself now. i love the ward i'm in and i love my companion. i just feel totally distant.
whatever, i'm sure it'll blow over sooner or later. i just keep plugging along. we get transfer calls on saturday night. i have no idea what'll happen! i'll be ok with whatever happens...but i'm excited to find out!
From Michelle: I've never been a missionary, but I assume that the feelings Rachel is having are pretty normal. Germany is a hard area for missionaries. Most of Europe is difficult because people just aren't that interested in the gospel. Please keep her in your prayers!! ♥
