Ever since I was a little girl, |
00:01:01 |
My parents joined |
00:01:03 |
of Latter-day Saints |
00:01:06 |
and I still admire |
00:01:12 |
I received my mission call |
00:01:14 |
right before the end |
00:01:17 |
To find out where I would be serving |
00:01:21 |
was definitely one of the |
00:01:26 |
I have been officially called |
00:01:30 |
Austria is in the heart of Europe |
00:01:34 |
Of those, only 4,000 |
00:01:50 |
In Austria the hills are alive |
00:01:53 |
and edelweiss |
00:01:56 |
but the national flower. |
00:01:58 |
Mozart and many other |
00:02:04 |
The waltz is an Austrian dance, |
00:02:06 |
and "Silent Night" |
00:02:11 |
My first mission area is Graz, |
00:02:14 |
an 800-year-old city |
00:02:24 |
Today I met my first companion, |
00:02:27 |
President Smith told me |
00:02:31 |
she'll teach me everything |
00:02:33 |
I'm very excited. |
00:02:34 |
We already get along really well. |
00:02:46 |
Okay, let's pray. |
00:02:53 |
I'm kind of scared. |
00:02:55 |
I don't know if I have what it takes |
00:02:59 |
Don't worry. |
00:03:02 |
You only have to follow a few rules |
00:03:07 |
Rule number 1; |
00:03:09 |
We get up early every morning |
00:03:13 |
Rule number 2; |
00:03:15 |
We study hard every day |
00:03:18 |
so that we're always in tune |
00:03:21 |
Rule number 3; |
00:03:23 |
We always pray together |
00:03:26 |
so we can find the people |
00:03:30 |
Rule number 4; |
00:03:32 |
We never miss an opportunity |
00:03:35 |
and invite people to be baptized. |
00:03:39 |
And rule number 5; |
00:03:44 |
Wait. |
00:03:46 |
I said, "We eat up all the food." |
00:04:02 |
Sister Felder, you're going |
00:04:06 |
What is this? |
00:04:07 |
Suelze. |
00:04:09 |
It's a mixture of calves' feet |
00:04:15 |
You're kidding, right? |
00:04:17 |
No. |
00:04:24 |
Eat, Sisters, eat. |
00:04:26 |
There's plenty more in the kitchen. |
00:04:29 |
Wonderful, Sister. |
00:04:34 |
Try this. |
00:04:38 |
What is it? |
00:04:39 |
Kutteln. |
00:04:42 |
It's beef stomach |
00:04:44 |
You eat it with potatoes |
00:04:47 |
It's yummy. |
00:04:48 |
Stomach? Intestines? |
00:04:51 |
Why would anybody |
00:04:56 |
There is plenty. |
00:05:11 |
Let me help you. |
00:05:19 |
Good. |
00:05:21 |
Remember: |
00:05:33 |
I don't know if I can do this. |
00:05:36 |
I thought Rule 5 |
00:05:39 |
I don't think |
00:05:41 |
Don't worry. |
00:05:49 |
We're on time. |
00:05:55 |
Since we're already here, |
00:05:58 |
Okay. |
00:06:21 |
Yes? |
00:06:23 |
We are like Jesus Christ |
00:06:25 |
We are missionaries from |
00:06:28 |
and would love to talk to your family |
00:06:32 |
My mom is sleeping. |
00:06:33 |
Can you come back tomorrow? |
00:06:35 |
We'd love to. |
00:06:39 |
Sonja. |
00:06:41 |
See you tomorrow, Sonja. |
00:06:47 |
Okay, what did she say? |
00:06:49 |
Well, you heard her. |
00:06:50 |
Yeah, but it was in German. |
00:06:52 |
-Did she say we can come back? |
00:06:54 |
That's awesome! |
00:07:01 |
And Joseph Smith |
00:07:06 |
"I saw a pillar of light |
00:07:10 |
"above the brightness of the sun. |
00:07:13 |
"When the light rested upon me |
00:07:15 |
"I saw 2 Personages |
00:07:19 |
"standing above me in the air. |
00:07:23 |
"One of them spake unto me, |
00:07:29 |
"pointing to the other-- |
00:07:34 |
Hear Him!" |
00:07:36 |
Very good! |
00:07:39 |
Thanks. |
00:07:45 |
It's so beautiful. |
00:07:47 |
And there's so much history here. |
00:07:51 |
Think of all the people |
00:07:56 |
And none of them |
00:07:59 |
Well, we better go to work then. |
00:08:03 |
You got it. |
00:08:11 |
Alright. |
00:08:23 |
Hi. |
00:08:26 |
I'm your Sister Taylor now. |
00:08:30 |
Can I share with you |
00:08:31 |
a large beech tree, please? |
00:08:37 |
This is a very soft boat |
00:08:44 |
Can you read? |
00:08:55 |
I hope they're home. |
00:09:03 |
Hi, Sonja. |
00:09:06 |
My mom's not home yet. |
00:09:08 |
She won't be back till late. |
00:09:09 |
That's too bad. |
00:09:15 |
Can we give this book to you? |
00:09:20 |
Thank you. |
00:09:21 |
Tell your mom |
00:09:27 |
Too bad. |
00:09:28 |
I know. |
00:09:30 |
Who would let a little girl |
00:09:34 |
I just--I wish there was something |
00:09:38 |
We can always pray for her. |
00:09:43 |
You know, I will. |
00:09:45 |
I really will. |
00:09:53 |
Are you ready |
00:09:56 |
Sure. |
00:09:57 |
Alright. Let's go. |
00:10:07 |
Ready? |
00:11:01 |
That was so good. |
00:11:05 |
How can there be a loving God |
00:11:07 |
with all the calamities |
00:11:10 |
How can that be? |
00:11:12 |
All the wars |
00:11:16 |
and children dying |
00:11:20 |
Why would God let this happen? |
00:11:24 |
It's just not right. |
00:11:28 |
You probably don't meet many |
00:11:32 |
There're always a few |
00:11:34 |
more about God's plan for them. |
00:11:37 |
Like yourself. |
00:11:38 |
That's good. |
00:11:42 |
There's not many young people |
00:11:46 |
Everyone is just out |
00:11:49 |
Including my son. |
00:11:54 |
He doesn't listen to me |
00:11:58 |
His life is just too easy. |
00:12:00 |
It was a lot harder |
00:12:04 |
That is the ingratitude |
00:12:09 |
I just don't know |
00:12:12 |
Will you follow Christ |
00:12:40 |
The Church of Jesus Christ |
00:12:43 |
Sister Taylor speaking. |
00:12:51 |
I was just getting started. |
00:12:54 |
What about Sonja? |
00:12:55 |
We still have to teach her family. |
00:12:56 |
Don't worry. |
00:13:02 |
Will I have time to see her? |
00:13:05 |
Sure. |
00:13:22 |
-Hello. |
00:13:24 |
My mom's not here. |
00:13:27 |
I just wanted to wish you |
00:13:31 |
I'm leaving today for Vienna. |
00:13:39 |
This is for you. |
00:13:41 |
I hope it will always remind you |
00:13:47 |
Remember, you are very special. |
00:13:51 |
Thank you. |
00:13:55 |
Merry Christmas! |
00:13:58 |
Merry Christmas, Sonja. |
00:14:21 |
This is so hard. |
00:14:22 |
I know. But Vienna is great. |
00:14:26 |
What about my new companion? |
00:14:28 |
Well, she's nice. |
00:14:32 |
Yeah? |
00:15:00 |
Hi, I'm Sister Taylor. |
00:15:02 |
It's really nice to meet you, |
00:15:05 |
I prefer to talk in German. |
00:15:08 |
Sorry. |
00:15:11 |
I didn't know |
00:15:14 |
I can speak English, |
00:15:26 |
We're here to teach the gospel |
00:15:29 |
to the Austrian people |
00:15:31 |
You need to learn German |
00:15:34 |
Alright? |
00:15:36 |
What did you just say? |
00:15:38 |
That's what I mean. |
00:15:43 |
Wait. Please wait. |
00:16:02 |
What? |
00:16:04 |
Aren't we supposed |
00:16:06 |
What are you talking about? |
00:16:07 |
Sister Felder says we should... |
00:16:09 |
Listen. I don't care |
00:16:11 |
We're not making fools of ourselves. |
00:16:14 |
But we're missionaries. |
00:16:39 |
I collect rocks. |
00:16:42 |
What? |
00:16:43 |
I found these all here in Vienna. |
00:16:46 |
Why would you collect rocks? |
00:17:14 |
Can we go jogging in the morning? |
00:17:20 |
Do I look like |
00:17:25 |
Great. |
00:17:28 |
What was that? |
00:17:30 |
Nothing. |
00:18:37 |
# There is music |
00:18:42 |
# A carol to my King |
00:18:47 |
# And Jesus |
00:18:52 |
Can you turn |
00:18:55 |
What? |
00:18:56 |
The music. |
00:18:58 |
# Oh, there's sunshine, |
00:19:01 |
# When the peaceful |
00:19:04 |
I said, "Off." |
00:19:09 |
Oh, off. Got it. |
00:19:15 |
# "There Is Sunshine |
00:19:35 |
Sister Keller? |
00:19:41 |
Should we do |
00:19:51 |
Sister Keller? |
00:19:53 |
Listen. It's probably better |
00:19:56 |
so people can actually understand |
00:20:01 |
What if we study together |
00:20:06 |
I already speak German. |
00:20:18 |
Erika is very interested |
00:20:19 |
and already came to church |
00:20:21 |
But her parents |
00:20:24 |
We usually meet her here, |
00:20:25 |
where she hangs out |
00:20:33 |
I totally want to go |
00:20:36 |
You should come and visit. |
00:20:42 |
Wow! It's huge. |
00:20:45 |
My family would love to have you. |
00:20:49 |
Really? |
00:20:53 |
Erika, could you read |
00:21:00 |
Repent, all ye ends of the earth, |
00:21:03 |
and come unto me |
00:21:09 |
that ye may be sanctified |
00:21:16 |
What does this scripture |
00:21:20 |
I like it. |
00:21:22 |
Sanctified. |
00:21:25 |
Sounds beautiful. |
00:21:31 |
Erika, will you follow the example |
00:21:37 |
What? |
00:21:45 |
What am I supposed to do? |
00:21:49 |
She also wanted us |
00:21:52 |
Look, I didn't know... |
00:21:55 |
I didn't know |
00:21:58 |
if she wanted to be baptized. |
00:22:00 |
I just--I thought that's what we do. |
00:22:04 |
You should have listened |
00:22:08 |
Aren't you at least happy? |
00:22:12 |
She needs more time. |
00:22:15 |
Why do you think |
00:22:18 |
Is it because I asked her? |
00:22:20 |
Listen, she doesn't know |
00:22:24 |
Yah! |
00:22:27 |
She's had several lessons. |
00:22:28 |
I know she felt the Spirit, |
00:22:31 |
She wants to be baptized! |
00:22:33 |
You've met her |
00:22:35 |
I know her better |
00:22:37 |
because I taught her |
00:22:39 |
And I'm your senior companion, |
00:23:55 |
# Happy birthday to you! |
00:23:55 |
# Happy birthday to you! |
00:24:00 |
Happy birthday, |
00:24:03 |
Thank you. |
00:24:04 |
Alright, everyone. |
00:24:55 |
Dear Heavenly Father... |
00:25:03 |
I just don't think |
00:25:13 |
Please, help me. |
00:25:40 |
You poor thing. |
00:25:44 |
You must have lost |
00:25:50 |
Did you know |
00:26:14 |
It'll be alright. |
00:27:51 |
Sorry for inviting you |
00:27:57 |
I didn't mean |
00:27:59 |
No, don't worry. |
00:28:01 |
I was a bit surprised, |
00:28:03 |
but then I felt wonderful |
00:28:10 |
Erika, next week might be |
00:28:20 |
But we can continue |
00:28:23 |
and teach you |
00:28:30 |
That's great. |
00:28:32 |
And when do you think |
00:28:38 |
I haven't been teaching |
00:28:41 |
What do you think, |
00:28:47 |
If you come to Church |
00:28:49 |
I think you will be ready, Erika. |
00:28:54 |
Alright. |
00:29:04 |
I think she really is ready. |
00:29:09 |
If she's ready, |
00:29:10 |
she won't mind coming to church |
00:29:17 |
You know, |
00:29:21 |
We don't tract |
00:29:23 |
And we don't even baptize |
00:29:29 |
Alright. Since you think |
00:29:32 |
feel free to talk |
00:29:41 |
Hello, we're missionaries |
00:29:49 |
Excuse me, we are here today |
00:29:52 |
with you about |
00:30:02 |
Hello, I'm glad you're home. |
00:30:06 |
and I'm Sister Taylor |
00:30:12 |
Before you shut the door, |
00:30:21 |
Would you listen to us? |
00:30:25 |
Just one minu... |
00:32:14 |
Hello. We are missionaries |
00:32:17 |
of The Church of Jesus Christ |
00:32:20 |
I don't speak English. |
00:32:22 |
No, no, no. |
00:32:25 |
Sorry. |
00:32:35 |
She's usually on time. |
00:33:28 |
Do you know where Erika is? |
00:33:30 |
She doesn't want |
00:33:33 |
What? |
00:33:34 |
She said she doesn't want |
00:33:38 |
I told you she wasn't ready. |
00:34:45 |
Why do you hate me? |
00:34:47 |
Was? |
00:34:49 |
What "was"? |
00:34:50 |
Don't "was" me. |
00:34:53 |
Come on, Sister Taylor. |
00:34:55 |
You're such a hypocrite. |
00:34:58 |
A hypocrite? |
00:35:02 |
What is wrong with you? |
00:35:03 |
You don't care what I think, |
00:35:07 |
And you know everything better. |
00:35:10 |
Don't twist things on me. |
00:35:13 |
It's you who constantly tells me |
00:35:15 |
I can never get your approval. |
00:35:17 |
And how did you know Erika |
00:35:21 |
And now we lost her. |
00:35:22 |
See, you're doing it again. |
00:35:23 |
You're blaming me |
00:35:26 |
As if it's my fault. |
00:35:27 |
Whose fault is it then? |
00:35:30 |
Do you even care about her? |
00:35:33 |
Or me? |
00:35:35 |
Or anyone? |
00:35:38 |
You think you have |
00:35:41 |
I bet you don't even realize |
00:35:45 |
and how you constantly act, |
00:35:51 |
What about you? |
00:35:58 |
We don't study, |
00:36:00 |
we don't even talk. |
00:36:03 |
At least I'm trying. |
00:36:05 |
What are you trying? |
00:36:07 |
I am trying to be |
00:36:10 |
Really? |
00:36:28 |
Hello. The Church of Jesus Christ |
00:36:34 |
Hi, Elder Miller. |
00:36:36 |
Yes. Yes. |
00:36:41 |
It's for you. |
00:36:43 |
Hello. |
00:36:48 |
We're just having |
00:36:53 |
Okay. |
00:36:56 |
Alright. |
00:36:58 |
So, I stay here? |
00:37:03 |
No problem. |
00:37:06 |
Thank you. |
00:37:18 |
Pack your bags. |
00:37:21 |
You're going to Salzburg for a week |
00:37:27 |
Tell her "Hi" for me. |
00:37:34 |
Salzburg. |
00:38:01 |
Hello, Sister Taylor. |
00:38:04 |
Welcome to Salzburg, |
00:38:06 |
It's really nice to meet you. |
00:38:08 |
Sister Keller says "Hi." |
00:38:09 |
Thanks. |
00:38:11 |
She's good. |
00:38:12 |
Good. |
00:38:24 |
That's your bed. |
00:38:26 |
Cool. |
00:38:35 |
What do you want to do |
00:38:38 |
Missionary work. |
00:38:41 |
The more, the better. |
00:38:42 |
Alright. |
00:38:45 |
Okay. |

Would you like to learn more? |
00:40:24 |
We could visit you |
00:40:26 |
and teach you |
00:40:30 |
Why not? |
00:40:34 |
Okay. |
00:40:37 |
What did you just say? |
00:40:39 |
I said, "Why not? " |
00:40:46 |
We could... come... |
00:40:53 |
Why don't you come |
00:40:58 |
Thank you, Mr.... |
00:41:02 |
Fritz. Fritz Zimmer. |
00:41:07 |
Thank you. |
00:41:08 |
Alright. I gotta run. |
00:41:19 |
I just got my first appointment |
00:41:21 |
Congratulations! |
00:41:23 |
I don't know. |
00:41:25 |
We were standing there and it just-- |
00:41:28 |
That's great. |
00:41:30 |
What? |
00:41:32 |
What? |
00:41:34 |
I forgot to ask for his address. |
00:41:38 |
I forgot to ask for his address! |
00:41:39 |
Well. |
00:41:40 |
I forgot to ask for his address! |
00:41:43 |
It's gonna be alright. |
00:41:47 |
It's not funny. |
00:41:48 |
It kind of is a little funny. |
00:41:50 |
No, definitely not funny. |
00:41:51 |
No, no, really, |
00:41:54 |
Please don't laugh. |
00:41:55 |
Just a little bit funny? |
00:41:56 |
Excuse me. |
00:42:11 |
Hello. I am Sister Taylor |
00:42:29 |
Hi. Is your name Mr. Zimmer? |
00:42:32 |
Hello. Is Fritz Zimmer home? |
00:42:35 |
Hello. I am Sister Taylor |
00:42:39 |
Are you kind of big? |
00:42:43 |
No. No. Your hair. |
00:42:47 |
Sorry. |
00:42:49 |
Good-bye. |
00:43:00 |
Hello. Mr. Zimmer? |
00:43:02 |
This is Sister Taylor, |
00:43:05 |
Did we meet you downtown today? |
00:43:08 |
Yes? |
00:43:10 |
Yes! |
00:43:11 |
I forgot to ask for your address. |
00:43:15 |
Okay. Good. |
00:43:17 |
Good. Thank you! |
00:43:19 |
Mozart Street 11. |
00:43:20 |
Monday at 5. |
00:43:23 |
Good-bye. |
00:43:24 |
Thank you, thank you. |
00:43:30 |
I found him. |
00:43:32 |
Congratulations. |
00:43:38 |
Wow! That's you? |
00:43:42 |
Yeah. |
00:43:45 |
right before |
00:43:47 |
How did you find out |
00:43:50 |
Sister missionaries. |
00:43:51 |
Yeah? |
00:43:52 |
Yeah. |
00:43:53 |
That's so cool. |
00:43:54 |
Now you're serving |
00:44:01 |
What a perfect week! |
00:44:03 |
I know, right? |
00:44:04 |
I mean, you have days like that... |
00:44:18 |
Can I tell you something? |
00:44:26 |
I'm not paying for my mission. |
00:44:31 |
My grandparents are paying for me, |
00:44:39 |
I just--feel like the only way |
00:44:43 |
is to do my absolute best, |
00:44:49 |
and I haven't been doing that. |
00:44:58 |
I know what you mean. |
00:45:05 |
When I first got baptized, |
00:45:17 |
I wanted to do my absolute best, |
00:45:24 |
even though I know |
00:45:35 |
But I guess it's okay. |
00:45:42 |
Thanks. |
00:45:53 |
You gotta keep 'em talking |
00:45:56 |
Okay. |
00:45:59 |
Yes, hello. |
00:46:00 |
Go. |
00:46:00 |
Hello, we are missionaries |
00:46:04 |
of Latter-day Saints, |
00:46:05 |
and we are in |
00:46:09 |
That's not bad. |
00:46:11 |
You go. |
00:46:19 |
Hello. |
00:46:20 |
Hi, my name is Sister Taylor |
00:46:23 |
We are 2 missionaries |
00:46:26 |
and would like to share |
00:46:30 |
with you today. |
00:46:35 |
Missionaries? |
00:46:37 |
Yes. |
00:46:38 |
From America? |
00:46:40 |
Yes. |
00:46:42 |
Come on up. |
00:46:45 |
Sweet! |
00:46:56 |
It's so wonderful of you |
00:46:59 |
If I had known, |
00:47:00 |
I would have made something |
00:47:05 |
Thank you. |
00:47:07 |
That's why we're here. |
00:47:10 |
We met missionaries from America |
00:47:13 |
Very nice people. |
00:47:16 |
Did they talk with you |
00:47:20 |
Yeah. |
00:47:22 |
My husband and I admire |
00:47:26 |
If all young people |
00:47:29 |
we wouldn't have any problems |
00:47:31 |
Keep up the great work. |
00:47:34 |
Thank you for your kindness. |
00:47:35 |
We're here today to share |
00:47:40 |
That is so wonderful. |
00:47:44 |
Did the missionaries give you |
00:47:52 |
What book? |
00:47:54 |
The Book of Mormon. |
00:47:59 |
Who are you again? |
00:48:03 |
I'm Sister Taylor, |
00:48:08 |
And who sent you to us? |
00:48:10 |
We're missionaries of The Church |
00:48:21 |
We believe in the Bible. |
00:48:25 |
Yes. We too. |
00:48:29 |
No, no, no... |
00:48:30 |
only the Bible. |
00:48:32 |
Sorry, this is a misunderstanding. |
00:48:35 |
We didn't want to intrude on you. |
00:48:43 |
You heard my husband. |
00:48:53 |
It is probably best |
00:49:08 |
I can't believe how |
00:49:10 |
I know. |
00:49:11 |
The whole time I was thinking, |
00:49:13 |
finally someone who appreciates us... |
00:49:16 |
You should have seen |
00:49:19 |
- It was awkward. |
00:49:21 |
It's just funny, |
00:49:23 |
one minute they love |
00:49:26 |
then they want |
00:49:28 |
I know. |
00:49:28 |
Just because their idea |
00:49:39 |
Is Sister Keller |
00:49:41 |
Yep. She's got a whole jar. |
00:49:47 |
I've got a few you could take her. |
00:49:50 |
Really? |
00:49:52 |
Yeah. Yeah. Sure. |
00:49:58 |
Can I ask you something? |
00:50:03 |
Did you get along |
00:50:09 |
Not at first. |
00:50:11 |
I'm really scared to go back. |
00:50:15 |
I just have this feeling |
00:50:17 |
she's gonna kill me in my sleep. |
00:50:19 |
She's not going to kill you. |
00:50:21 |
I know she's not going |
00:50:24 |
I don't get her. |
00:50:27 |
I don't understand |
00:50:41 |
When she was my companion, |
00:50:45 |
because I was so frustrated. |
00:50:50 |
Do you remember what |
00:50:52 |
wrote to him when he was |
00:50:55 |
Yeah. Yeah. |
00:51:02 |
My dad wrote: "Forget yourself; |
00:51:06 |
and then everyone else." |
00:51:09 |
He reminded me of the |
00:51:12 |
To love the Lord |
00:51:15 |
And then he asked me: |
00:51:21 |
I was so excited |
00:51:24 |
I was ready to teach every person |
00:51:30 |
And I was so frustrated |
00:51:32 |
I just felt my companion |
00:51:35 |
and, like, getting in the way... |
00:51:40 |
until I got my dad's letter. |
00:51:46 |
Because if anyone is my neighbor, |
00:51:49 |
I mean, I'm with her 24 hours a day, |
00:51:52 |
And if I can't love and serve her, |
00:52:01 |
and then I'm just a big, |
00:52:06 |
A hypocrite? |
00:52:08 |
Yeah. |
00:52:23 |
You're new, right? |
00:52:26 |
I hope you sing as good |
00:52:31 |
I'm only here a week |
00:52:34 |
Sister Taylor works |
00:52:38 |
Lucky you. |
00:52:43 |
Sister Keller found Sister Zahn |
00:52:47 |
That's right. |
00:52:51 |
I was baptized exactly |
00:52:55 |
and only a month later the bishop |
00:53:00 |
Can you believe that? |
00:53:04 |
You can bring the pictures |
00:53:06 |
I promised her a few. |
00:53:11 |
Sister Keller is one of those people |
00:53:15 |
She's so straightforward |
00:53:19 |
and she knows |
00:53:21 |
We connected immediately. |
00:53:24 |
That must be Sister Springer. |
00:53:29 |
Are we talking |
00:53:31 |
I guess it depends |
00:53:36 |
Sister Springer's coming. |
00:53:37 |
She's bringing |
00:53:39 |
She's doing |
00:53:41 |
She's not a member |
00:53:43 |
We'd like to teach her. |
00:53:44 |
Cool. |
00:53:49 |
Alright, everyone, |
00:53:52 |
A new sister. |
00:53:53 |
I hope you can sing |
00:53:56 |
-Hi, I'm Christine. |
00:53:58 |
Hi. |
00:54:03 |
Watch my signal, Sister. |
00:54:05 |
Please. One more time. |
00:54:07 |
Sorry. |
00:54:14 |
# As sisters in Zion, |
00:54:21 |
# The blessings of God |
00:54:27 |
Off. |
00:54:30 |
Sister Taylor. |
00:54:31 |
You might think your voice |
00:54:36 |
but you're wrong. |
00:54:37 |
Every voice counts. |
00:54:40 |
Let's keep going. |
00:54:42 |
# We'll build up his kingdom |
00:54:49 |
# We'll comfort the weary |
00:54:57 |
Goodness gracious, Sister Taylor. |
00:54:59 |
I assume you have other talents. |
00:55:02 |
Good thing you're only here |
00:55:05 |
Second verse, please. |
00:55:08 |
# We follow the Savior |
00:55:15 |
# In love and humility |
00:55:21 |
# Wherever we are |
00:55:27 |
# And help and love |
00:58:07 |
"And no one can assist in this work |
00:58:09 |
"except she shall be humble |
00:58:13 |
"having faith, hope, and charity, |
00:58:16 |
"being temperate in all things, |
00:58:17 |
whatsoever shall be entrusted |
00:59:03 |
This is it. |
00:59:04 |
Would you mind giving that |
00:59:07 |
No problem. |
00:59:09 |
Wait. One more. |
00:59:20 |
You'll be fine. |
00:59:21 |
Just remember there's 2 names |
00:59:24 |
Thank you for everything. |
00:59:27 |
I'm really gonna miss you. |
00:59:29 |
I'm gonna miss you too. |
00:59:30 |
You're a great missionary, |
00:59:32 |
Thank you. |
00:59:33 |
I just hope to work |
00:59:39 |
I really like Christine. |
00:59:40 |
You should teach |
00:59:45 |
I hope everything goes well |
01:00:58 |
Charity is the pure love of Christ. |
01:01:01 |
To truly love someone |
01:01:03 |
means to see them |
01:01:06 |
I created this picture |
01:01:08 |
without knowing |
01:01:10 |
I don't know why she |
01:01:14 |
why she's on a mission right now, |
01:01:16 |
or how Christ has touched her life. |
01:01:18 |
But I know the Lord knows, |
01:01:24 |
Sister Young says "hi." |
01:01:27 |
She asked me to bring you this. |
01:01:29 |
The pictures |
01:01:32 |
She speaks very highly of you. |
01:01:36 |
Thank you. |
01:01:53 |
It came to me that |
01:01:55 |
receive a single letter |
01:01:58 |
How could I have missed that? |
01:02:08 |
Once I started to look at her |
01:02:12 |
Sister Keller turned |
01:02:15 |
I found that |
01:02:17 |
her family broke off |
01:02:21 |
And although Sister Keller |
01:02:24 |
she touched people's lives |
01:02:28 |
I only spoke German |
01:02:30 |
for the rest of my time |
01:02:32 |
and it really did improve |
01:02:35 |
I never really understood |
01:02:38 |
but I learned |
01:02:41 |
'Cause even though they seem |
01:02:43 |
it's the fine nuances that count. |
01:02:46 |
We thank thee for this day... |
01:02:49 |
and that we can serve together |
01:02:53 |
In the name of Jesus Christ, amen. |
01:02:55 |
Amen. |
01:02:57 |
I accepted her slower pace |
01:03:01 |
and that made all the difference. |
01:03:09 |
Whenever I return |
01:03:12 |
I am reminded of the woman |
01:03:15 |
The Lord took me on a journey |
01:03:18 |
the power of the Atonement, |
01:03:19 |
not just for myself, |
01:03:21 |
but for those |
01:03:28 |
The King shall answer |
01:03:30 |
Verily I say unto you, |
01:03:33 |
unto one of the least |
01:03:35 |
ye have done it unto me. |
01:03:38 |
I looked at her |
01:03:44 |
It's through the "least of these" |
01:03:48 |
and Sister Keller was one of |
01:04:02 |
The Church of Jesus Christ |
01:04:05 |
This is Sister Keller. |
01:04:07 |
Hello, Elder Johnson. |
01:04:10 |
Okay. |
01:04:15 |
Really? |
01:04:19 |
No, no. |
01:04:26 |
Thank you. Bye. |
01:04:30 |
What did he say? |
01:04:33 |
Transfer. |
01:04:37 |
Salzburg? Really? |
01:04:43 |
To work with Sister...Young. |
01:04:46 |
No way. |
01:04:50 |
I mean, I wish I could stay here |
01:04:55 |
now that we're getting along |
01:04:58 |
you know what I mean... |
01:05:00 |
It's alright. |
01:05:03 |
I would be too. |
01:05:36 |
Thank you so much. |
01:05:38 |
I'm a better person |
01:05:42 |
And my German is better, too. |
01:06:07 |
So, how have things been, |
01:06:10 |
Well, it was rough, |
01:06:13 |
Yeah? |
01:06:15 |
How is Fritz and his family? |
01:06:17 |
They're good. |
01:06:18 |
They're still golden. |
01:06:19 |
We met with them |
01:06:21 |
And, in honor of your arrival, |
01:06:24 |
That's awesome! |
01:06:27 |
Well, we finally asked her |
01:06:30 |
and we've met her a few times |
01:06:35 |
But, in honor of your arrival, |
01:06:38 |
You know, I kinda like |
01:06:42 |
There's 6 billion people |
01:06:44 |
How can God communicate |
01:06:47 |
Why would he care about me? |
01:06:50 |
Well, that's what's |
01:06:55 |
The Lord speaks |
01:06:57 |
in a very personal manner |
01:07:00 |
That's how we know |
01:07:03 |
even when life's difficult. |
01:07:06 |
That's right. |
01:07:08 |
We share what we know |
01:07:10 |
to ask God through prayer |
01:07:13 |
And you will know |
01:07:16 |
It's really just between |
01:07:21 |
Okay. |
01:07:23 |
Can you tell us how you |
01:07:28 |
God is our Heavenly Father. |
01:07:31 |
We are His children. |
01:07:33 |
That makes us all |
01:07:37 |
That's why we call each other |
01:07:43 |
Can we call you Brother Zimmer |
01:07:49 |
Of course. |
01:07:51 |
But what does it mean |
01:07:58 |
We believe that through Jesus Christ |
01:08:04 |
and live with him forever. |
01:08:07 |
As his children, |
01:08:09 |
He wants us |
01:08:11 |
That's why we're here; |
01:08:15 |
and grow under his loving guidance. |
01:08:20 |
That's very similar |
01:08:24 |
Brother and Sister Zimmer, |
01:08:26 |
will you read the |
01:08:32 |
if it is another testament |
01:08:38 |
-Yes. |
01:08:41 |
Will you continue |
01:08:44 |
by learning more |
01:08:48 |
May we set a time |
01:08:52 |
Yes. |
01:08:54 |
Will you pray to know |
01:08:59 |
Will you come to church |
01:09:05 |
Yes. |
01:09:09 |
Wow, what a month! |
01:09:10 |
I haven't taught this much |
01:09:13 |
We already have... |
01:09:14 |
2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 14 |
01:09:16 |
That's like South America. |
01:09:20 |
What? |
01:09:22 |
It's from the office. |
01:09:26 |
What does it say? |
01:09:29 |
It's from President Smith. |
01:09:33 |
Dear Sister Young |
01:09:35 |
I wanted |
01:09:37 |
for teaching 11 discussions |
01:09:40 |
I know this is the result |
01:09:43 |
I send you my love |
01:09:46 |
and thank you for showing |
01:09:50 |
Sincerely, President Smith. |
01:09:52 |
Wow! How nice is that! |
01:09:55 |
I want to get |
01:09:58 |
Me too. |
01:11:40 |
Were you able to read |
01:11:43 |
Yes, I read quite a bit. |
01:11:46 |
I felt it is very inspiring... |
01:11:56 |
Thank you for sharing |
01:12:00 |
Joseph Smith is such |
01:12:02 |
who had to go through a lot. |
01:12:05 |
Do you believe he was |
01:12:09 |
Definitely. |
01:12:10 |
He was so young when |
01:12:13 |
No doubt, |
01:12:21 |
Brother and Sister Zimmer, |
01:12:23 |
knowing what you know |
01:12:26 |
and Joseph Smith, |
01:12:28 |
will you follow the example |
01:12:32 |
and be baptized in his church? |
01:12:38 |
We really appreciate your invitation, |
01:12:41 |
but we already practice |
01:12:43 |
I don't understand. |
01:12:46 |
You said you know |
01:12:51 |
and Joseph Smith was a prophet. |
01:12:54 |
Yes, but God speaks to many people |
01:13:00 |
Everyone who listens |
01:13:04 |
and there are many books |
01:13:08 |
We are really interested |
01:13:11 |
and the dedication |
01:13:15 |
And you are always |
01:13:22 |
They love the Book of Mormon. |
01:13:24 |
They believe Joseph Smith |
01:13:26 |
They know it's true |
01:13:28 |
What can you say to that? |
01:13:30 |
It totally threw me off. |
01:13:31 |
This has been a really bad week. |
01:13:34 |
I just hope Christine is home. |
01:13:36 |
Me too. |
01:14:06 |
Sisters. |
01:14:09 |
I'm so glad you're home. |
01:14:10 |
We've been looking forward |
01:14:13 |
Yeah. |
01:14:14 |
Well, umm, |
01:14:17 |
Or would maybe another time |
01:14:19 |
Yep. Maybe we... |
01:14:20 |
Yeah, we'd love to come in. |
01:14:23 |
Okay. |
01:14:26 |
Okay. |
01:14:40 |
Hi. |
01:14:41 |
This is Michael. |
01:14:58 |
I hope we didn't come |
01:15:02 |
No, no. |
01:15:10 |
Did you have a chance to read |
01:15:16 |
I didn't have a chance. |
01:15:17 |
I'm sorry. |
01:15:23 |
How about next week? |
01:15:24 |
Do you think maybe |
01:15:29 |
I'm going to Prague. |
01:15:30 |
Maybe in a couple of weeks |
01:15:35 |
Yeah. |
01:15:42 |
Yep. |
01:16:46 |
Why won't the Zimmer's |
01:16:50 |
Or Christine? |
01:16:53 |
What was the point |
01:16:55 |
if they just end up |
01:16:59 |
Why do they feel the Spirit |
01:17:07 |
No one cares |
01:17:14 |
What are we doing wrong? |
01:17:38 |
Did I ever tell you |
01:18:04 |
Hello. |
01:18:06 |
Who? |
01:18:08 |
Hi, President Smith. |
01:18:10 |
Yeah. Yeah. |
01:18:15 |
Really? |
01:18:19 |
What did you say her name was? |
01:18:22 |
Really? |
01:18:25 |
Alright. |
01:18:27 |
Okay. |
01:18:29 |
Got it. |
01:18:31 |
Okay. |
01:18:34 |
He wants to talk to you. |
01:18:38 |
Hello, President Smith. |
01:18:40 |
Yeah, we're good. |
01:18:43 |
Yep. |
01:18:46 |
Yeah. Okay. |
01:18:51 |
Really. |
01:18:55 |
Of course. |
01:18:58 |
No, no. |
01:19:02 |
Thank you, President. |
01:19:09 |
You're being transferred to Graz. |
01:19:10 |
And you are having |
01:19:13 |
That's what he said, |
01:19:16 |
Her name is Sister Jaeger, |
01:19:19 |
She must mistake me |
01:19:22 |
I don't think so. |
01:19:37 |
I've been praying for this little girl |
01:20:01 |
Will you take care of her for me? |
01:20:21 |
Sister Taylor, |
01:20:25 |
You asked me with such an intensity |
01:20:29 |
that I couldn't stop thinking about it. |
01:20:33 |
I couldn't sleep or eat anymore. |
01:20:36 |
And then I started reading |
01:20:40 |
It deeply touched my heart. |
01:20:45 |
That was when I knew |
01:20:50 |
All thanks to you, |
01:20:58 |
...in the name |
01:20:59 |
Amen. |
01:21:05 |
Thank you, Elder Wouden. |
01:21:06 |
Now we will hear a testimony |
01:21:19 |
The Lord really works |
01:21:24 |
I have often wondered |
01:21:27 |
to serve my mission in Austria. |
01:21:30 |
Throughout my mission I tried so hard |
01:21:36 |
And so many times I felt... |
01:21:40 |
like a failure. |
01:21:46 |
Today the Lord has shown me |
01:21:48 |
I don't have to do |
01:21:52 |
It's not in my hands but his |
01:21:57 |
I have to trust in him |
01:22:03 |
I am so grateful for you, |
01:22:07 |
The Lord has touched |
01:22:09 |
without me even knowing it. |
01:22:12 |
I am so happy to be here |
01:22:16 |
I know the Lord loves you |
01:22:21 |
Stay close to him and trust in him |
01:22:26 |
In the name of Jesus Christ, amen. |
01:22:31 |
Amen. |
01:23:15 |
After Sister Jaeger's |
01:23:17 |
I returned to Salzburg |
01:23:21 |
I'm her first companion, |
01:23:22 |
so I'm trying my best |
01:23:25 |
It slowly dawns on me that the end |
01:23:29 |
and that my last Christmas in Austria |
01:23:35 |
And remember, no leftovers. |
01:23:38 |
Mahlzeit. |
01:23:47 |
What's that? |
01:23:48 |
It's suelze. |
01:23:50 |
It's a mixture of calves' feet |
01:23:53 |
It's good! |
01:23:58 |
You don't have to eat it |
01:24:01 |
I'll cover for you. |
01:24:02 |
No way, Sister. |
01:24:04 |
No leftovers, remember. |
01:24:08 |
Do you like it? |
01:24:10 |
Yes. |
01:24:11 |
Good. It looks like you're |
01:24:19 |
Can you sing too? |
01:24:22 |
Yes. I love to sing. |
01:24:24 |
Wonderful, wonderful. |
01:24:31 |
I am impressed |
01:24:34 |
Well, I really liked it. |
01:24:38 |
What's that for? |
01:24:41 |
It's--it's nothing. |
01:24:47 |
Can you hear that too? |
01:24:50 |
Yeah. |

How quickly 18 months can go by. |
01:27:04 |
From Salzburg back to Vienna |
01:27:06 |
and from there |
01:27:09 |
Just like that. |
01:27:10 |
And now that I'm back at BYU, |
01:27:12 |
I miss so many things |
01:27:15 |
The people. |
01:27:16 |
The culture. |
01:27:18 |
And even the food. |
01:27:20 |
I still sometimes pray |
01:27:23 |
and hope her life |
01:27:25 |
Whenever I think of her, |
01:27:28 |
really wants me |
01:27:30 |
He knows his children, |
01:27:36 |
My mission |
01:27:39 |
Above all, |
01:27:46 |
Subtitles: Arigon |
01:28:01 |
And since my time |
01:28:03 |
I have a new favorite scripture; |
01:28:06 |
"Oh, Lord, |
01:28:10 |
"yea, my soul will rejoice |
01:28:13 |
and the rock of my salvation. " |
