The last few weeks have been a little crazy and there's too much to say so we'll see what I can type out in the next few minutes.
I am now in Stuttgart with Sister Udy. She is my first Utah companion and is from the same group as Sister Cook. Speaking of Sister Cook, it sucked to say goodbye to her because I love her to death. I would have gladly served another with her, she's the best. Leaving Bad Säckingen was really hard, I had been there for 20 weeks (the longest I've been in an area my whole mission, winning by 8 weeks lol.) Deyanira called the night before I left and cried, basically it was a very rough night and I wanted even less to go... but I did anyway.

Sister Udy is awesome. She's spunky and crazy and we have a great time. Here in Stuttgart there is a giant street with more people than I have ever seen and we are able to do so much street contacting. Its sooo crazy but I love it. We don't even have to knock doors anymore! It's the best!
Last week we went to Munich for MLC. It was awesome. There are so many great leaders in our mission, and President and Sister Brown are on fire with how amazing and inspired they are. We are super pumped for zone conference next week!
Sunday we were able to Skype home! So good to see the family again (I love you all) but so crazy to see how much everyone has grown and changed!!
There's lots of work here to do and we are excited to git er done!
“The world is not bashful in offering numerous new answers to every problem we face. People run from one new idea to the next, hoping to find something that will answer the burning questions of their souls. They attend seminars and buy books … and other products. They get caught up in the excitement of looking for something new. But inevitably, the flame of each new theory fades, only to be replaced by another ‘new and improved’ solution that promises to do what the others before could not.
“It’s not that these worldly options don’t contain elements of truth—many of them do. Nevertheless, they all fall short of the lasting change we seek in our lives. After the excitement wears off, the hollowness remains as we look for the next new idea to unlock the secrets of happiness.
“In contrast, the gospel of Jesus Christ has the answers to all of our problems. The gospel is not a secret. It is not complicated or hidden. It can unlock the door to true happiness. It is not someone’s theory or proposition. It does not come from man at all. It springs from the pure and everlasting waters of the Creator of the universe, who knows truths we cannot even begin to comprehend” - Dieter F. Uchtdorf
