ANYWAY.
Soooo yes I am leaving Leipzig after 5 months. Cottbus
is the home ward of the Kosaks!!! haha awww yeah! My new companion is a
German visa waiter. She has been here for 6 weeks so I am like her 2nd
companion/trainer wahhhhh. buuuut here's the thing! I called her to get all the
deets and she said that she actually should be getting her visa in like 3
weeks. Aaand she is going to the Salt Lake Temple Platz Mission!! Waaaaay cooool
but a bit of a bittersweet thing. I'm stoked to be with a German again but if
she leaves in 3 weeks then I'll be way sad. Naja! we shall see!!! I leave
tomorrow and I'm excited.
LAST CITY HERE I COME.
What I will miss most about Leipzig is just how
gorgeous it is. The style of all the buildings and just how cooool it is. This
place is really cool, and I have loved walking these streets. The people are
always entertaining, as well. Tons of different personalities here. This city
is just straight up cool. I hope to come back someday. (Someone today told me
it's great for a honeymoon, holla! ;)
The ward here is also awesome. I was sad to share my
testimony yesterday for the last time, here, I love this ward a lot. It's huge,
but good.
Best thing this week was meeting with Rene and Holger.
We met on Friday and our ward mission leader, Bruder Pabst came. SO GOOD. I
love them so much. We had planned to invite Rene to prepare to get baptized either
at the end of November or beginning of December, and he said yes!!!
YESSSSSSSSS. it was awesome having our gml there, he is a stud and just helped
bring clear understanding to everything we talked about. The sisters in the
other ward had a baptism on Saturday, so the two came to that as well. Rene
said he knows he doesn't feel ready right now, but he wants to work on getting
there. I know I said this already, but he GETS IT. What the goal is, why it's
important. and he wants it. I have met three people like this on my mission,
Frau Devers, Marita (the inv of the sisters who just got baptized Vorgestern)
and Rene. It's gonna happen for him, sooon! We got ice cream today and then we
went to the top of this building that overlooks the city, and he was just
talking about his baptism and how he feels. My heart melted!!! I don't want to
leave him!!! But I might be able to come back for his baptism, so that keeps me
feeling okay. oh man I love him so much! So we were at the top of this
building, looking out over the city, and then I turned around and the two had
pulled out a little present for me! aw man. They gave me sweets and a little
picture frame with a pic of us when we were on the way to the temple. I
will miss them so much. |
Mannn now that I’ve typed up all this good stuff about
Leipzig it makes me want to stay so bad!! And now tonight we will go say
goodbye to more people who I love!!! But it can't and won't last forever. the
relationships will and the memories will, though. I am grateful I could serve
here. Oh Leipzig.
We said goodbye to Elder Aust this morning, who flies
home on Wednesday. He was my district leader in Lübeck and then zone leader
here. (he's from Fresno) (TOTAL STUD) It's sooo weird how the time goes
by sooo fast. I was in Lübeck like 10 months ago!!!! and now I only have 4
months.
I am grateful I can serve my Savior, and my Father in
Heaven. I know that the Lord will continue to use me and my little efforts to
bring to pass good things. This Gospel is worth sacrificing for. Next week I'll
be in Cottbus what what!
ALLES LIEBE AUS LEIPZIG FOR THE LAST TIME
Sister Mittleman
