Sister Barnett On The Mish: WEEK 16: TRANSFER DAY- TUBINGEN GERMANY HERE I COME!

Busy busy week! I cant believe all that has happened in just 7 days.... so many miracles, so many blessings!

So Tuesday was my last day in St Gallen Switzerland. I packed for most of the day and that night we went to Aileen's one last time for dinner. It was delish of course! Then we met with Jennifer (from the bus - commented on my tag) and her daughter and talked more about the Restoration and the Book of Mormon. She loves what we have to offer and wants to be baptized! So we got her on date for December 31! She needs to stop smoking and come to church but she said it's worth it because that's what her desire is! Our goal since we met her has been to get her on date to be baptized and the last day I was there we did it. Such an amazing way to end my time in st. Gallen❤

AILEEN'S HOUSE AND THE AMAZING DINNER SHE COOKED FOR US

Wednesday was Transfer Daayyy. We woke up and got on a train to Zürich and then from there I met up with Sister Church (MTC comp) and Sister Jones (from my mtc group) who were also getting transferred Love those ladies!! It was about a 3 hour train ride and it was awesome! Then we met our comps at the train station! My companions name is Sister Hofmockel she is from France! She loves music and dancing and she can beat-box like no ones business!!! So yeah she is amazing and we get along super well :) We are the Sister Training Leaders of the Stuttgart zone which is pretty coooool haha. Later that night we had a lesson with a French woman named Maguy and she is incredible. She has such a strong spirit! We taught her about the 3 kingdoms and at the end of the lesson she said, "it all just makes so much sense!" I just couldn't stop thinking yes because its TRUE!!!!!!

MATCHING BEANIES JUDITH MADE US!

NOT READY TO SAY GOODBYE TO SISTER STAMP!

HER DISTRICT IN ST GALLEN - SAYING GOODBYE

Thursday we did a service project on a man's cow farm and washed windows all day long... I didn't know a house could have so many windows! Then went to some meetings and taught a Young Women's lesson,.. aka taught them a dance haha it was so much fun!

TYPICAL SAM - I'M SURPRISED SHES NOT IN THE PEN WITH THEM! ANIMAL LOVER

Another way cool thing is I ACTUALLY UNDERSTAND PEOPLE ON THE STREET!! No more Swiss German Holla- freakin- leuja... it's sooooo weird to walk on the street and actually pick up on people's conversations... so cool! They do have a dialect here obviously - but I actually understand!!!

Friday was pretty boring, we did some visa stuff, super uninteresting lol. Then for lunch we bought döners aka the best things on the planet. If you dont know what they are look them up because the only word that comes to mind when I try to explain them is heaven. ( Theyre banned in the US because of the way the meat is cooked soooo yeah you know theyre good.) We did some weekly planning and I am SO excited to be here, the work is going so well! We have a few solid investigators and a ton of recently baptized that we are teaching, so the teaching is really constant and super great.

Saturday something super interesting thing happened... we were on our way home from a lesson and 2 extremely drunk guys who didn't have tickets for the train got in trouble by the ticket guy and started screaming a word i haven't heard in a while like 100 times over again... the train made an emergency stop and the police came and escorted them off it was NUTS! Don't drink kids.

Sunday was amazing Maguy came to church! and not only that.... SHE BORE HER TESTIMONY!!! Bless her freaking heart that woman is amazing. she doesn't speak German, but she wanted to get up and express her love and gratitude to her Heavenly Father, so Sister Hofmockel went up with her and translated her testimony from French to German it was the coolest thing ever!! The Spirit was so strong and it touched every one in the congregation. I look up to her so much! Sister Hofmockel and I are meeting with her tomorrow and we have been praying about a date for her baptism and we both feel like January 7 is right so we will tell her that when we meet with her tomorrow.

You guys this church is SO true. It truly brings so much happiness into people's lives and to be able to have the opportunity to see that first hand is indescribable. I love this gospel with all my heart and I love being a missionary! Have an amazing week and don't forget to thank Heavenly Father for all the amazing blessings He has given you. This season is all about giving so let's express some gratitude to the person who has given us everything!

Love you all!!

P.S. Sister Hofmockel and I are making a Christmas dance to the remix of Angels We Have Heard On High by James the Mormon (we practiced last night it was epic) soooo be prepared for the best video of your life coming soon!! hahaha!

TUBINGEN GERMANY - BEAUTIFUL BUT VERY DIFFERENT IN ALOT OF WAYS FROM SWITZERLAND. NOT AS PRISTINE OR CLEAN, AND THE TRAINS DO NOT RUN ON TIME! DRIVES ME NUTS!
