Dresden Tour

Wunderbaren Tag Alle!

Hello! I have a confession to make: I have not been journaling very well, and I frankly have no idea what happened this week. With that said, I thought that I would describe my missionary life in terms of the places I go. Should be interesting. 

Neustadt
Easily one of my favorite parts of Dresden. Neustadt (new city) is the cool, slightly edgy, downtown area. Picture lots of weird stickers on every lamppost. And cool looking, quasi expensive restaurants. with little twinkle lights outside. 

Our friend, Raudel from Cuba, lives in Neustadt, so we visit quite a bit. Yay!!!

Prohlis
If Neustadt is the cool, slightly edgy side of Dresden, then Prohlis is just edgy and not cool. Prohlis is kind of sketch, but I LOVE PROHLIS!!!! We have so many cool friends who live there, and we always end up there at night which makes for an Abendteuer!
Abend = evening
Teuer = expensive
Abendteuer= adventure ???

We visited a really cute family the other day, and got to talk about the power of Jesus Christ while sipping on some hot chocolate!! Score!

Dresden Altstadt Library
Hands down in my top three favorite places of Dresden for sure. You think it's just a library, but IT'S NOT. Here's a short list of everything they've got there:
- rentable banjos
- movie theater
- binoculars
- records and record player
- X Box
- books
- cafe
We do a lot of our planning and studies in the library, and I just want to explore the whole thing, maybe rent a banjo. But alas, I am a focused missionary. 🙏

Innenstadt
Could be nicknamed "Miracle Alley" by the missionaries in Dresden. We have so many good conversations here, it is wunderbar! Met our friend Cristian there. Cristian is this cool young soccer player from Venezuela who came to church yesterday! 

Well, that's all for this week. Tut mir leid that I have no idea what happened, and consequently no interesting stories for you all to read. Before I sign off, I would love to leave you with a spiritual thought. (It has come to my attention that some people SKIP the spiritual thought.... DONT!!!!!)

God Answers Prayers
I can attest to that. God answers prayers. Often, He answers prayers affirmatively. He wants to help us and bless us. Here are some little examples from my week:

- I get really bad leg pain when I walk a lot or am in a new situation. I was SO nervous leading up to my mission, and prayed that I would be able to manage this pain. And since being here, not ONCE on my mission have I had these issues.
- having a rough day and praying for comfort. I came home and saw my inbox full of emails from YOU GUYS! And it was an answer to my prayer.
- praying one morning for a stronger desire to do missionary work, and feeling SO begeistert on the bus to get out and do it!

Anyways, time is short. I just know that there is a Heavenly Father who loves you all and wants to bless you. Try praying for blessings sometime. Write me your miracles!

Hasta luego,

Sister Hunsaker🦭⚡️🙌

good ole currywurst
2 Texans in the apartment = mandatory pledge every morning. To our chagrin, we couldn't remember exactly how the Texas flag looks.

Scarf

Hello everyone! Welcome to another email! Yippee! Peanut butter jars : 5 Vinter  (pronounced German) Winter has officially arrived in Dresden. It was all fun and games until this week. Luckily, I've already bought a winter jacket, but things were so chilly I found myself doing something unprecedented: I wore a scarf. And it changed my life. Past Abby would have mocked scarf-wearers. But you guys: IT IS A GAMECHANGER!!! Those things actually work! I was so warm, it was like wearing a blanket all day. In fact, when I got back home, I didn't even take it off until I went to bed. It has also started snowing here, and it is SOOOOOO pretty. Also incredibly treacherous, seeing as we run to catch the bus literally every day.  Español/Deutsch Class This was comic relief for the week. Seeing as we have so many Spanish-speaking members in our ward/congregation, Hermano Juan has taken it upon himself to teach Spanish to the Germans.  This week, here is who attended:  me, Sister ...

Auf Wiedersehen

Image
Auf wiedersehen means  goodbye  in German, in case you didn't realize. (It's some more advanced vocabulary  ) So with that, auf wiedersehen to the MTC! It has in all seriousness been the best 6 weeks, and my heart just overflows with gratitude every night.  Time is short today. Here are the highlights: Things I Am So Grateful For: - my companion,  Sister Moore . Her light shines SO bright and I couldn't have had a better MTC companion! - my district, 11-B. Going into the MTC, I couldn't even imagine the joy these people would bring me. - SAND VOLLEYBALL! All the German districts get up a little earlier in the morning to run some sand volleyball and spikeball. Shoutout to everyone who humors me in spikeball; it is probably in my top 5 things that bring me joy.  - the  temple . In the temple, we learn more about who we are as children of God! - the general spirit of  camaraderie  among missionaries. I will miss it dearly! One Quick Story Today'...
