President has told people since I got here that I am "... a very capable missionary." (haha) It is a great compliment, actually, but it is funny because now my whole district knows me as, "Sister Brown ... a very capable missionary."
Anyways, hey y'all! How's America? Germany is cold, but wonderful! We get to see the sun like once a week if we are lucky (haha). But, it is great.
Funny story for the week ... We heard this song in passing and I said to Sister Eschemann ...

Me: I performed this Clarinet Concerto by Mozart before!
Sister E: Oh! Did you play with the person who wrote it?
Me: Mozart ...? No, he's dead. (haha)
I'm not the only one who gets 'blonde moments,' I guess.
We had quite the adventure this week trying to go by less-active members that the ward tells us to. Only problem is they live in the middle of nowhere, and we have no car! Yup, so fun. We took a bus that was like a 45 minute ride to a small town with HUGE hills, and we were walking around trying to find this address and our navigation device totally just freaked out and wouldn't work. Thankfully I was able to reset it and we found our way, but I'm not a fan of our navigation :)
We had transfers this week and dropped Sister Taylor off in Frankfurt with her new companion, Sister Gardner. I will miss her, but she will be so great in Hanau!
Sunday was such a wonderful experience for us because we had one investigator come to church and also, two less active members who haven't been to church in about 3 months. It was WONDERFUL! Transfers are really good because they put a sort of fire under your shoes, and get you back to work and focusing on how to be better and setting new goals for the new transfer and such. I really think this transfer is going to be great. The Elders have two baptisms set for February already, and I'm so happy for them.
I finally was able to get a General Conference issue in English, so that has been a great read. A great talk by Elder Robbins is about, "Which Way Do You Face?" In the end it talked about Christ and how He was the perfect example. I've always heard that God and Jesus are as one, but the reason that is, it says in this article ... "Christ was His Father's perfect disciple. He was so perfect in representing His Father, that to know the Savior was also to know the Father." I really liked that. Also, the talk spoke about going about doing good anonymously. We shouldn't seek praise and a pat on the back for a job well done; for people we help. We should serve others because we want to be good and kind people. I am excited to read all of the other talks again from last conference. Our Prophets and Apostles are TRULY called from God and what they say is so important for us to know, and to study their words. I hope all of you can pick up a General Conference magazine this week and read one or two talks, if you have time. If you don't, then MAKE time. (haha) You'll be blessed for doing so.
I hope you all have a fantastic week!
