Hey everyone!!
It was soooo good to see you all yesterday. I was so proud of us that we only cried at the beginning and slightly in the middle.. haha thanks to tyler;)
Congrats Naomi on your call. Bulgaria doesnt know what's coming. You're going to do wonders. I love you.
And welcome home to Jake Larson.
So for those of you that weren't there for the phone call, I got some crazy news about an hour before I called home. This Wednesday is transfers, and I've only been in France for 10 weeks and normally a missionary is trained for 12 weeks, so I figured that my trainer would leave me and another missionary would come in and work with me in Rennes... But no. Ha, both my trainer and I got called to train! Im so so so so nervous! I cried on the phone when they asked me to train. I can barely speak french and I have maybe taught each lesson only once and now I have to teach someone else how to do it?? I'm so humbled and I'm going to have to rely on the Lord so much. I know that the Lord qualifies those he calls, but man I'm not sure how he's going to pull off this one. There should be lots of miracles soon because man are they needed.
Well, this week we went out to a member's home out in the country. They met each other one time while he was on his mission. After his mission he called her and asked her to marry him... they didn't even talk at all while he was on his mission. She said she KNEW she was supposed to say "yes" even though she didn't know him. They are seriously awesome. They come form the islands and have little or no money; yet they fee us AND they gave us ALL of the leftovers. When I say all I mean ALL! The drinks, the side dishes, the main course and the dessert!!! They treated us like kings. they said that it is the least they could do to show their respect to two young people who are giving up the prime of their lives to serve God and to find people like them. I love them so much. I was so grateful to have gone on my mission simply to see them and to feel their testimony. I want to be like them and I will be.
Well, if I have time, I'll write more. I love you all and miss you! Ill probably be in Rennes for another 12 weeks till my bleu's/daughter's training is finished.
Love always,
Soeur Kohlert
