Such a happy week: Happy birthday Markie - your midichlorian count goes further and further off the charts as each year passes. Happy Thanksgiving tomorrow to everyone!
I think that the absolute highlight of my week was captured at the end of a lesson with our "less active member," Amira. I spoke with conviction that was so beyond what my normal capacity would be. I really felt like even though my German grammar is imperfect and my vocabulary is limited, the Lord was filling in the rest. Some other highlights:
- We Skyped with a member in Germany and taught him a lesson! He was so hard to understand, but by the end of the lesson, we got the hang of things.
- Choir is THE BEST. For Thanksgiving, we're singing Come Thou Fount with 8 part harmonies. The Mormon Tabernacle Choir has nothing on the voices of 480+ missionaries singing with their whole hearts. We've been hearing rumors that Elder Bednar will be speaking on Thanksgiving for weeks!
- Elder Dallin H. Oaks spoke to us last night and the devotional was broadcast to all of the MTCs across the world!
I am so grateful for all of you. I am grateful for the opportunity to be here on a mission. This time next week, I'll be in Germany!
Liebe,
Sister Hendricks
