Week 56 Sestra Opperman My New Companion?!

Hello there(: This week we did lots of knocking, talking, and trying to spread this beautiful message. You know those times tho when your heart just gets heavy and you get tired This week I got a bit tired and frustrated. I love being a missionary, but things just hit my heart a bit this week. But then like ALWAYS God comes around and gives my heart a shake and tells it who's boss. 2 miracles accured. I will tell them in order. After a couple days of feeling this frustration, I was reading in my scriptures and read this. 23 Know ye not that ye are in the hands of God? I stopped and thought about that. I want you to do the same. 23 Know ye not that ye are in the hands of God?.... Know ye not that he hath all power, and at his great command the earth shall be rolled together as a scroll? My frustrated heart became soft as I realized who's hands I'd forgotten I was in. So I ask you--Have you forgotten who's hands you are in? Have you forgotten that the God who created the universe cares and loves about you? He won't leave you. THEN DRUM ROLL!!! Sophie Oppermann, you know that really cool girl who everyone wants to be like? The one that glows? Well best friend Sophie found a Serbian woman in France who doesn't speak English or French! So we got to call in and teach! It was so joyful sharing the message of the Book of Mormon and God's love for us with a Serbian woman--sitting in France next to my best friend!! The lesson went well and she said she wanted her husband to learn more too. Big prayers for this sweet woman. How cool that Soeur Oppermann wasn't able to really communicate with this Serbian woman in a spoken language, but this woman was able to feel her love for her through an unspoken langauge and heard the name Christ! I'm grateful for my missionary friends and their examples of having the spirit with them! Now Hermana Fowers you need to find a Serbian family! Or I will find a Spanish speaking one!(: Other random facts -We went hiking today with Eržebet! She is so good and a strong member here in Novi Sad! Her husband came too! We hiked to a cool tower, a limestone mine, and sat and talked for a few hours! -Sister Dimas and I stacked our meal time and went to a museum for lunch this week! They had stuff from before Christ! Really good language practice too as it was all in Cyrillics(: -Transfer announcements are this Thursday! God is always there for us even when we forget who's hands we really are in! In the little things and the big things! Love you all. Don't forget His Hands. Сестра гитинс
