Stadt Kaiserslautern Tour

A group of my girl friends all decided to pitch in & pay for a tour of the main city where we go to church.  Kaiserslautern (Ktown for short) is a larger city & we all live in villages that surround the city.  It's about 25 minutes from my village & I couldn't wait to actually learn the history of Ktown since I spend so much time there.

I had no idea there used to be TWO CASTLES in Ktown.  I'm there all the time & had no idea.  I also didn't know that the Lautern river ran right through the middle of the city & was later BURIED so they could build up the city.  The River STILL FLOWS UNDERNEATH THE CITY.

What?!?!?

Like, how is that even possible?  But we saw it!  There is a tunnel system underneath the city & the river still flows there.

As for the castles, a few bricks still remain where they both once stood, but I would have never known they belonged to actual castles.

These are actual burial sites for rich nobles from hundreds of years ago & yes, they used to have skeleton remains in them.  There are SEVERAL of them surrounding the castle areas.

And the whole idea that there are tunnels under the city still makes me excited.  We got to go down & wander the tunnels.  It was AMAZING.

And yes, this is a human skeleton they found there.

After we came out of the tunnels, we walked around the actual city & learned more about it.

The gold cobblestones represented a Jewish home.  Unfortunately, these were up during Hitler's reign in Germany & in the end these marking helped Hitler do the terrible things he did to the Jewish people here.  It's such a sad part of Germany history.

Roman Baths found under the city.

We had about 20 friends on these tours.  We had about 10 in each tour group.  It was so much fun.

Our tour ended at the church in Ktown.  The church is beautiful.  I always love the stained glass windows in the churches in Europe, they are beautiful.

And as we finished up the tour, we noticed Ktown was setting up for their Christmas Market.  I LOVE Christmas markets.

It was a lot of fun to get to know the city we live near & do so much with.  I'm glad we decide to do a tour.

 

November 2022 Happenings

November was FULL of big trips, preparation for a big community event put on by our church, & many other things that will all get their own blog post, but there were a few things that we have pics of that can fit into our "November Happenings" post.

Trek did a 50 mile bike ride to France with some of his friends.  It was cold, raining, & slippery, but they still did it & were excited they completed the journey.  The rode down to France, then took the train back to Germany.  They had a blast.

Trek also participated in a 23 mile rucksack race in November.  He woke up at 3am, started running at 4 & had 4 hours to complete the 23 miles while wearing a 25 pound backpack on his back.  HE DID IT!  He made it under the 4 hours & he got awarded a medal from the Norwegian Government saying that he completed their most difficult physical challenge.  He's VERY excited about that.  (He did Switzerland's last year so now he has medals from Switzerland & from Norway).  He was pretty excited that he actually finished in time.

There were a few friends that did it as well.

As for me, I was SUPER busy this month preparing for a nativity event sponsored by our church.  December 1-3 we had our church building decorated for Christmas with over 200 nativities from around the world.  We had a choir sing excerpts from Handel's Messiah, & then we performed a live nativity play.  I was in charge of all the costumes for the play which kept me busy sewing ALL MONTH LONG.

But I did get a couple breaks to visit some Christmas markets with my wonderful friends.

My friends helping decorate the church for the event.

The Trier Christmas Market is always one of my favorites.  This is the village that Taya was born in, just around the corner from this very spot in the square.  It's like home to me & I love visiting the Christmas market there.  We all came as a big group to explore everything together.

Trier Christmas Market

Then the last week of November, we all decorated for the Nativity Event, then walked over to the Kaiserslautern Christmas Market for lunch.  Because we all know the whole reason to visit Christmas Markets is FOR THE FOOD!!  Yum!

 

YW Overnight Trip

Our church congregation's group of young women (ages 12-18) had a little money left over in their yearly budget for activities so they decided to spend it on an adventure for the girls.  So all the girls packed up their things for a VERY FUN OVERNIGHT ADVENTURE TOGETHER.

They wound up driving to Belgium for 24 hours!  The adult leaders planned out a fun stay at a hostel in Belgium followed by a full day at an adventure park there full of via ferratas, rock climbing, a ropes course, several obstacles courses, & more.  I was surprised at how brave both Lorien & Taya got.  Some of those cliff faces were NOT for the faint of heart.  It makes me proud to know that they faced their fears & did something HARD. . . & not only that, but they had a blast doing it.

They had an absolute blast with their friends.  I love this group of youth & the fun things they do together.  These are memories that will stick with my girls forever.

How are you all this week? I just finished my 7th week at the MTC! Only 3 and 1/2 more to go! This upcoming week will be really special because we are completing our English Language Certification training this week at the ELC at BYU. In order to get our visas, we will become trained English teachers there. I am looking forward to it but I am also super nervous about forgetting Mongolian since we will not have any Mongolian classes Monday-Thursday. We will miss an entire 8 classes, so I will do my best this week to speak Mongolian as much as possible outside of training.

Speaking of Mongolian: This past Thursday, my companion and I committed to speaking only Mongolian for the entire day. It was probably one of the most difficult things I've ever done, especially because I do not learn languages very quickly. But with the 4 weeks worth of knowledge we had, we were able to get by by saying simple phrases to each other and I ended up learning so much. I discovered new words I wanted to study, brushed up on a lot of grammar principles I needed to practice, and even felt the Gift of Tongues at several points during the day. By the end, however, my brain was absolutely fried haha.

We also had our first Helping Others appointment this week in Mongolian. For those of you who don't know, Helping Others is a program at the MTC where you roleplay a missionary home visit. The MTC hires members and nonmembers to play investigators so you never know if the person you are teaching is a member or not. You pretend that you are in the field visiting their home and you practice teaching them each of the Preach my Gospel lessons. These roleplays are so helpful for preparing us to teach in our actual field later on. Usually, we would have started teaching Helping Others investigators in Mongolian two weeks ago but the MTC just hired our Mongolian investigator this week, so he was brand new.

We taught him about the Restoration of the Gospel and about Jesus Christ. I was so nervous to teach in the beginning that my hands would not stop shaking, but after saying a quick prayer with my companions, I instantly felt at peace. I thought our lesson went very well in the end. There were moments where our investigator would ask us questions and even though I didn't pick up on anything he said I simply knew how to answer him. The Gift of Tongues helped me interpret what he was saying even when I wasn't understanding the words he spoke and it was incredible. The Gift of Tongues also helped me to have a clear mind when I taught and I was able to calm my nerves enough to say what I wanted to say. Overall, the lesson was simple but powerful. I am looking forward to teaching the people of Mongolia and sharing this same calming Spirit with them. 

This week was also Halloween and as many of you know, my family is big on Halloween costumes. I was a little sad that I couldn't dress up with them this year, but my district was super sweet and they joined in dressing up with me the best that we could. Sister Vick and I dressed up as pumpkins and Sister Allen went as Luke Skywalker. Some of the Elders wore vests and carried around nerf guns so that they could be cowboys for the day. They made it a fun experience. We also had a mini Halloween party with our STLs and Japanese Sisters where we ate a bunch of junk food. It was a blast for sure!

It also snowed a lot this week! The mountains looked so beautiful every day with the snow glowing on top of them. The snow made the MTC more peaceful and made it feel more like Christmas, which was so cool. I also had to break out the winter coat because it was so cold, but I loved every second of it. 

Also, fun Mongolian cultural fact of the week: Mongolians will call horses the opposite of their color. For example, a white horse is referred to as a black horse in Mongolia and vice versa. I have no idea why but that rule only applies to horses.

On Tuesday, we had a devotional taught by Elder and Sister Eddy of the Quorum of the Seventy. They focused on how we can become better missionaries and disciples of Christ. Elder Eddy taught something that really stuck out to me. He explained that God labors with us in everything that we do. I love the idea that Heavenly Father is always putting forth work and effort with us to help us carry out His plan. He loves us perfectly, so how could He not? Elder Eddy taught that missionaries who trust in Him and don't fear will reach out to everyone and have faith that the Lord is preparing people who will listen. We should love the people we teach so much that we teach with boldness. He also taught that Heavenly Father has already been laboring in our missions and He will continue to labor in our missions when we leave. I love that Heavenly Father has a plan for all of us!

I wanted to share a wonderful scripture I came across in my study this week. In Alma 17, Alma had just come from teaching the people of Gideon about Christ's coming, when he ran into his old friends, the sons of Mosiah.

Alma 17: 2

2 Now these sons of Mosiah were with Alma at the time the angel first appeared unto him; therefore Alma did rejoice exceedingly to see his brethren, they were still his brethren in the Lord; yea, and they had waxed strong in the knowledge of the truth; for they were men of a sound understanding and they had searched the scriptures diligently, that they might know the word of God.

We can follow their examples and learn from the scriptures. When we study the scriptures and the doctrine of the Gospel, we can strengthen our knowledge of truth. Knowing truth will help us make better decisions and avoid temptation, which will make our lives easier. We truly can find rest when we follow Jesus Christ and learn from the scriptures. I know that the Book of Mormon is true and that it can help us find answers to our questions. It has blessed my life in so many ways. I invite you all to read Alma 7 this week. It is one of my favorite chapters about Jesus Christ. If you have any questions about anything I've talked about in this email or anything in Alma 7, please don't hesitate to ask. I love you all!

Love

Sister Potter

Guess who got their visas this week? My entire district! So we will all get to fly to Mongolia together next Tuesday! We also got our travel itineraries and lets just say, our flight is going to be маш хэцүү (very difficult). We will fly from Salt Lake to Atlanta, and then Atlanta to South Korea, and finally, from South Korea to Mongolia. Our total travel time will be over 30 hours and our flight from Atlanta to South Korea will be about 16 hours straight. Thankfully, the mission rules for Mongolia have relaxed a bit, so we are now allowed to bring our scriptures and mongolian grammar notes with us on the plane, so I can study those during the flights. We won't have any phones though, so I'm nervous about traveling and getting lost with no way to contact anyone. Either way, the Lord will be guiding and protecting us every step of the way, so I am letting my trust overpower my fear. Sadly, we still can't wear our nametags on the plane since the Mongolian government does not want us to be affiliated as "missionaries." Also, our visas are sponsored by Deseret Charities, which means we will be able to teach "pop-up" English classes in the countryside of Mongolia. I'm sure many of us will also be working in the capital city Улаанбаатар too, but it is exciting that we will get to travel to so many places and help so many people.

In other news, we got to celebrate Thanksgiving this week at the MTC! Everyone did such a wonderful job to make the holiday a special one for us missionaries. I am thankful to President and Sister Porter and to all the volunteers who helped make the day so eventful! We opened the day with a special devotional given by Elder Cook of the Quorum of the Twelve. They asked me to give the closing prayer for the devotional, so I got to sit on the stand behind him, which was such a cool experience! He and his wife both shined with the light of Christ, and I felt the Spirit so strongly in that meeting. Elder Cook taught us the importance of gratitude and taught us about the 4 things missionaries should focus on loving in order to be successful:

1. Our companions

2. The people we are called to teach

3. Our Mission President and his wife

4. Jesus Christ

He explained that when we focus on loving these people, our missions will become easier and we will be more focused on our missionary purpose - therefore, we will become better missionaries. I know that having gratitude can give us a more open and Christlike perspective on life. Gratitude can help us overcome the trials we face and can cure our sadness. I am so thankful for the gospel and for Christ's apostles who share hopeful messages to all of God's children!

Then we ate Thanksgiving dinner with our district, and honestly, the food was really good! We were all surprised at how tasty and filling the food was. It was fun to unite more with our district, and we all felt at peace as we spent the day together as a family. 

After that, we watched "Ephraim's Rescue" which turned out to be a very inspiring pioneer movie. I cried about 7 times while we watched because of the inspiring hardships the pioneers went through at that time. I strive to have the amount of faith they had when they crossed the plains with their families. It made me even more thankful for the opportunities and conveniences I have today, and I know I have been blessed so much by Heavenly Father!

Then we had the opportunity to participate in a large scale service project. We worked with a baptist charity to package over 300,000 meals for people in need. We gathered in assembly lines to package everything and jammed out to the church youth music for 2 hours. Sister Vick and I had a dance party the whole time, and overall our joy was so full.

To close the wonderful events of the day, we had a special musical devotional put on by Jon Schmit from the Piano Guys. He played many of his famous songs including "Waterfall," "Can't Help Falling in Love with You" and "Silent Night." He asked us to sing along to Silent Night at the close of the devotional, and I have never felt the Spirit more strongly in my life. Silent Night is my favorite Christmas song and it reminded me of home, so I began to feel homesick. But as soon as that homesickness started settling in, I felt the Spirit comfort me with warmth and peace, and I instantly knew that, despite missing my family, everything would be okay. It was a tender mercy and I am so grateful for Heavenly Father, who knows my thoughts and is looking out for me. I know that He knows each one of you as well and that He will help you when you are in need. He loves you so much!

Also, they finally lit up the Christmas lights at the MTC! They looked so beautiful and I felt the Spirit again as we walked through all of them. It was honestly such a spiritually empowering week and my testimony has grown so much because of it! Something about light brightening the darkness makes me so happy. Christ is our light. He brightens our darkest times and He gives us hope when we are struggling. There were several times this week where I struggled, whether with the language, with others, or with myself, and in those times where I was feeling at my lowest, I would come across a scripture in my personal study or receive an answer to my prayers that would remind me of Christ's love for me. I know that Heavenly Father was looking out for me this week through continuously reminding me why I'm here and why I can have hope in His Son. Through Christ, we overcome anything because He will guide us by His light. I truly know this and I hope you all know this as well. The joy I have felt at the MTC testifies of this. Please seek this joy by learning more about the Savior and becoming like Him.

Yesterday, I had to say goodbye to my favorite teacher, Sister Enktuvshin (Энхтүвшин Эгч). I have never met someone with so much joy and love for others. She has helped me feel God's love and I wish I could express just how immensely she has changed my life. She has taught me so much, not just about the language, but also about how to be a true disciple of Christ. I love her so much and it was one of the hardest goodbyes I've ever had to give. Today, we also had our last MTC class ever, which was so sad! I didn't realize how much I was going to miss the MTC until today. It has been a blessing for sure.

Other fun things that happened this week:

- We met a Samoan, a French, a Belgian, and a Hawaiian Elder this week at lunch. They tried jello for the first time and they were the sweetest human beings ever!

- We also ran into two Mongolians who work here at the MTC and didn't understand anything they were saying to us, but we just nodded and responded with маш гоё, баярлалаа, сайн!

- I learned that I can still do a handstand

- Sister Vick and I have been running together most mornings, and my endurance has improved a ton

- Our district has been here longer than any other missionaries at the MTC so we are the true OG missionaries

- The next email I send out will be from Mongolia! How cool is that??

Overall it was a wonderful week and I apologize again for the long email. I'll end with a verse that stood out to me this week:

Alma 32: 35 - 36

35 O then, is not this real? I say unto you, Yea, because it is light; and whatsoever is light, is good, because it is discernible, therefore ye must know that it is good; and now behold, after ye have tasted this light is your knowledge perfect?

36 Behold I say unto you, Nay; neither must ye lay aside your faith, for ye have only exercised your faith to plant the seed that ye might try the experiment to know if the seed was good.

I testify that Christ is our light. He is discernable amidst the darkness of the world and He shines brighter than any temptation. When we look to Him, we can discern between what is good and what is bad. We must also continue to practice our faith and strengthen it every day in order to help it grow. I didn't understand how to strengthen my faith until I started diligently studying the scriptures every day at the MTC. I promise you that daily scripture study can help you nourish your faith in Christ. I invite you to study the Book of Mormon everyday this week. I hope you all continue to do well and have wonderful weeks!

Love,

Sister Potter

Сайн Бацгаана уу!

How is everyone doing this week? Today marks the end of my 9th week at the MTC! It has been such a long time, but I feel so blessed to be here. I have already grown into such a different person just from being here. I feel more productive, more diligent, and more enthusiastic about everything. Heavenly Father has blessed me so much with strength to push forward each day, even when the days blend together or become tedious. I am so thankful for this opportunity!

Nothing very exciting has happened this week. We didn't get a chance to teach in Helping Others this week because our investigator is going out of town for the Holidays. We did get the opportunity to attend a "Arriving at the field" devotional this week because next week's Thanksgiving plans were interfering with our typical 'leaving the MTC' schedule. In the devotional, we watched an adorable play put on by acting students at BYU. The play depicted what arriving in our mission field would look like with some added in musical numbers to remixes of "Called to Serve" and "I Hope They Call Me on a Mission." It was the most entertaining thing I've seen in the last 9 weeks and the acting students did such a good job. It wasn't super informational but it was fun to watch and enjoy. Going to that devotional reminded me of just how soon we will be leaving. We still have a week and a half but after being here for so long, that feels like such a short time.

Speaking of leaving the MTC, we were supposed to get our reassignments yesterday, but nobody in our district received any. We also didn't get our visas. That could either mean that they expect to have all of our visas within the next few days or that we are potentially getting extended another week, so we would leave the MTC around December 8th. Either way, Heavenly Father has a plan for our district and it will turn out how it is supposed to. I am excited to see where we will all end up, but I would really love to be able to fly to Mongolia with everyone in the district. Reassignments would also be so fun, even if we all get seperated. I am so excited for what lies ahead!

Our district went and did baptisms at the temple today which was such a blessing! It was so fun to help serve so many people on the other side of the Veil. I love the temple so much! I feel so much peace when I am in the temple because I know that it is the Lord's house on Earth. I am going to miss the temple when we go to Mongolia, but hopefully we are able to pave the way for a temple to be built there. I would love for the people to finally have an easily accessible temple to do work in and make covenants in. Our covenants with God are so important and they have truly blessed my life for the better. Because of the covenants I've made in the temple, I feel more peace and joy in my life. I receive more guidance and assurance from the Holy Ghost and through my covenants, Christ has lifted my burdens so that I could overcome them easier. I would not be the person I am today without my covenants and promises with God. If you would like to also feel these blessings and don't know where to start, my email is open. Ask me anything!

Speaking of Christ, we are approaching the Holiday Season soon! I love Christmas time because it is a time dedicated to celebrating Jesus Christ and serving others. I always feel so much joy and peace at this time. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints has a wonderful program called "Light The World," where we have the opportunity to serve people everyday of December leading up to Christmas. I encourage you all to check it out with this link: https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/comeuntochrist . I love "Light the World" because it reminds us of what the Christmas season should be about: loving as Christ loved. Jesus Christ is our light and we all have His light inside of us. Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ want us to share this light with everyone. I promise you that if you share your light with others through serving them, then you will feel God's love and light more in your life.

One scripture that really touched me this week was Alma 26: 27.

27 Now when our hearts were depressed, and we were about to turn back, behold, the Lord comforted us, and said: Go amongst thy brethren, the Lamanites, and bear with patience thine afflictions, and I will give unto you success.

After reading this verse, I wrote in my study journal - "This scripture could have helped me a lot in college. It is important to always take the next step forward, even when you are depressed, lonely, confused, or suffering. Taking the next step shows your faith and your diligence. The Lord will give us opportunities to have patience and long-suffering, and taking the next step is the only way we can overcome it with the Lord's help. The Lord will help and He is always there. We must take responsibility for overcoming our struggles and Heavenly Father will take care of our shortcomings." 

My favorite book shares a quote similar to this verse. 

"The most important step a man can take is always the next one" - Brandon Sanderson

I promise you that if you continue to push forward, even when you feel like giving up,  you will make it because the Lord is on your side. He loves you so much and He will help you. I know that if you pray to Him, He will be on your side. 

Sorry that this email was so focused on my doctrinal findings this week but I felt like someone needed to hear this message. Maybe I am the one who needed to hear it. The Spirit works in mysterious ways. I love you all and if you are struggling with anything or want to know more about anything, please let me know and I will get back back you. Have a wonderful week!

Love,

Sister Potter

P.S. Really random Монгол fact of the week: In Mongolia, if you repeat a word but begin the word with "m" it is a colloquial way of saying "noun and stuff" (e.x. Pizza Mizza means Pizza and stuff).

Сайн Бацгаан уу!

Another week has flown by! This week is my 8th week at the MTC and I have 2 1/2 left to go! I still haven't heard anything about visas yet so I am expecting to be reassigned to somewhere in the states sometime this week. We will see how everything turns out. I know that wherever I go after the MTC, the Lord has a work for me to do and I will do it happily, wherever that may be. I see getting reassigned as a blessing because it will give me the opportunity to be a proselytizing missionary for a short time, which would be a really cool experience.

This past week, we trained at the English Training Center on BYU campus. It was the best experience I've ever had! People from all over the world travel to the ELC to learn English, which they use in their jobs or to help them attend universities in America. Whatever the reason for learning English, the students there are so passionate about their studies. They were so inspiring to me and I loved to hear their stories. One Colombian couple we ate lunch with told us about how learning English is helping them progress in their careers as doctors in Columbia. Another student was from Syria and he loved to travel and work around the world, and he explained that learning English is helping expand his options for learning and work. We also met two sweet Mongolian girls who were avid English learners. They were so kind and they helped us practice our Mongolian as we taught them. I loved hearing everyone's stories and asking them about their cultures. All of the students at the ELC truly blessed my life and touched my heart. 

If I could continue to work at the ELC, I would because it was so fun. We spent four days observing English teachers and their classes, prepping and teaching our own classes and lessons, and evaluating and learning how to become good 'English as a Second Language' teachers. My companion and I taught 2 classes (1 hour long and 1 half hour long). Our classes ranged from 8 to 14 students ages 18 - 50+. I learned a lot about how to adapt a lesson to fit the needs of the students in the moment. Sometimes, the students wouldn't understand fully or they would learn something more quickly than expected, so we had to practice thinking on the spot how to expand or move our lesson activities around to suit the students better. It was challenging but so rewarding to see the light bulbs click in the students' heads when they finally understood what we were teaching. I loved seeing their faces light up when our classes did fun learning activities that they enjoyed as well. Overall, it was such a helpful experience for preparing to teach English in Mongolia and I learned so much.

Yesterday, we had another Helping Others appointment where we taught our "investigator" about the Plan of Salvation. During our lesson, our investigator asked me a question about how the Plan of Salvation can physically bring us happiness. It took a second but suddenly all the words clicked in my head and I understood him perfectly. The Gift of Tongues made speaking and listening to Mongolian come so naturally to me throughout the rest of the appointment. I was able to teach with ease and understand everything my companion and investigator discussed as well. It was as if the language suddenly clicked in my head. It's difficult to explain but I felt Heavenly Father helping me so much with the language in that moment. I can't wait to continue to grow in the language.

Also I was so sad to say goodbye to my wonderful STLs and the other lovely Japanese Sisters in our branch this past week. They are going to do great things in Japan and they were such a blessing to me at the MTC.

I apologize if this email sounds super repetitive. There's only so much that happens at the MTC so I am slowly running out of things to write about sadly. But it is still a blessing to be here while I train to be a missionary. Also if you can, please pray from my companion Sister Allen. She has been struggling with a terrible cough this past week. We took her to get x-rays yesterday and the doctors said it shouldn't be anything too serious, but I know that prayers can work miracles, so if you have time, they would be much appreciated. 

We had the privilege of hearing from Elder Bednar at our weekly devotional on Tuesday. He taught us about how we can find deeper meaning in the gospel through sequences and patterns in our scriptures and doctrine. He also talked about our purpose in life. One quote he shared that really stuck with me is that "we serve for Him (Christ) and because of Him." I think that this quote can be applied to all aspects of our lives. When we love, serve, grow, learn, obey, etc. we should love, serve, grow, learn, and obey for and because of Christ. When we center our lives on Christ and do everything for Him, He will yoke us in all of our efforts. He atoned for us so that He could yoke us and support us in every aspect of our lives. He has already given you this gift. He wants you to use it by turning to Him. I testify that if you focus your life on growing, learning, obeying, etc. for and because of Him, you will experience more joy, feel the guidance of the Spirit continually, and Heavenly Father will bless you abundantly. Christ knows you by name. He saved you individually. We owe everything to Him, yet He continues to give us more. I love our Savior!

If you have questions about anything in this email or are curious about anything, feel free to message me! I am more than happy to answer any questions. Have a wonderful week everyone!

Love,

Sister Potter
