Goodbye Sis. Williams.  We had good times together.

So yesterday was the German thanksgiving and today is unity day (the Berlin Wall came down)! I pretty much haven't seen a soul on the street the entire day. Everything is shut down and we almost got stuck in Ramstein because the busses and trains are barely working.

Anyway! I have a new companion now! Sie heißt Sister Harris. Sie kommt aus Elko, Nevada. Sie hat 3 Geschwistern. She's the second oldest. She came out on her mission right out of high school and has been on her mission for 9 months. She's been in Essen her entire time in the
field. She's super talkative and very loving and I'm way excited to serve with her!

It was an interesting week because it got thrown off by the stress of transfers, but now almost everything is in Ordnung. It's a little weird to be the one trying to update Sister Harris about who were teaching, where we're going, and how we're getting there. I definitely know Kaiserslautern and the surrounding areas way better than I ever knew Pasadena.

My favorite lesson of the week was with Silka. She's a less active we've just started to meet with regularly. I've taught her about 2 other times and this was the 3rd. We showed her a video called Berge Bezwingen (Mountains to Climb). We talked to her about how important it was to have hope. We ended up showing 2 other people the same video this week. There were so many people who said they didn't have hope and didn't see the point in having hope. It also happened to be Conference weekend! In Elder Nelson's talk he quoted 2 Nephi 2:25 "Adam fell that men might be; and men are, that they might have joy." We are meant to have JOY in this life! When we are hopeless we are unable to experience joy. Yes bad things will happen. Life gets hard. However, the Savior suffered for us so that we can have joy. Even in the hard times!

This gospel brings so much hope to my life and I've experienced joy because of it. Diese Evangelium bringt so viele Hoffnung zu meine Laben und ich habe Freude erfahren.

Bis nächste Montag!
- Sister Luymes
