Loves Talking to People

Hello!
again 13 emails! sweet! i love it!
thanks to: Diane Linford, Lisa Sharp, Viv, Todd,Thompson, Bro. Bergholm and Wimpy for your emails this week!

Diane: funny that your husband served in the Dusseldorf Mission... that's actually an area that Sisters can serve in here in the Frankfurt Mission!

Wimp: oh dear... that's all i can say and you know what i mean! good luck sweetie ;) keep me updated!!

Marci: thanks for your letter! i loved your story from the 4th of july. welcome to my world of trains and buses that don't come at the right time and then you miss your other bus or train... haha its a fun life!

We're getting transfer calls on saturday and i could be transferred. who knows. yeah so i'm in frankfurt right now! we're doing a split and i'm going back to mainz. hopefully i can figure my way around town without sister stevenson. she's been in mainz since november so she knows her way around. we don't have to do a ton of traveling so we should be fine...hopefully haha. splits are fun though and the sister i'm with is really awesome so i'm excited.

Well i have some exciting news about one of our investigators. so we took a break last week from Bruder "M" hoping that he'd do what he needs to do like read and pray. he comes to church every sunday - he's done that ever since he met the sisters back in jan. - so we asked him what he's done this week and he was so excited to tell us that he has read everyday and prayed every morning and night and has stopped drinking coffee!!!! its a miracle! we're meeting with him on friday and hopefully we'll set up a new baptismal date with him! he was supposed to be baptized this past sunday but he wasn't ready. i think he is now!

it's been wet, rainy weather! where is the summer weather? i feel like it's summer in seattle! haha it's awesome. but i do wish it was hot and sunny for a while.

well missionary work isn't getting any easier (what a shock) ;) but i'm a lot happier! yesterday at the streetpreach i was just so happy and excited to talk to people (by myself even!). i didn't get any contacts but i felt love for the people. like when they were mean and walked away... when i told them to have a good day, i really meant it. i really wanted them to have a good day even though they didn't want to hear what i had to say. and then last night when we were doing finding time... i really didn't want to go talk to people. i was tired and it was wet so i told Heavenly Father that i didn't want to go but that i would and please help me be happy. and then i was happy. i loved the wet rainy weather and i loved talking to people.

From Michelle: anyone who knows Rachel at all

knows that she has always loved talking to people! ♥
