The first accident was a while ago on the bike path next to the salzach river. That was during my first transfer. A biker tried to turn and go accross a bridge. I was bookin it down the path because we were late for an appointment and as this man tried to cross my path he stopped in the middle and so i pulled my brakes but it was too late his handle bar went into my hip. That one wasnt bad. But ya all is well. I dont need to go to the hospital it is just a really massive bruise on my arm that i got from his mirror. ha ha it looks like i am playing lacrosse again. Ahhh good times. Any how....NO. mom please no. I understand that it is your money and that i wont be in salzburg forever (although i wish i would be) but still you can just send me peanut butter and i will be super happy. Also if you want, although i think it is illegal, you could send contact solution. it is like 17 euro which is like 23 american dollars to buy a single small bottle of contact solution. But check it out first. I think it is illegal to send liquids through the mail. That would be a perfect christmas for me.
As for this week it has been amazing. We got a refferral from another elder in our mission here. Somehow he found out that his friend from back home was coming here to salzburg for a study abroad trip. He sent us to go find him and teach him. Well we found him. He lives on the top of Mönchsberg. It is like a bike ride and a half to get up there. By the time we get to the top i feel like my legs are jelly. but it is cool. I am changing the Adams inherited chicken legs into massive muscly mountainbike pistons of doom. But any how his name is Brian. He is so so so golden. We just had the most spiritual lesson of my life with him last night. We taught him about the plan of salvation and how we can find eternal joy through this plan that heavenly father has provided for us. He said after the lesson that it makes sense and that he can believe on something like this. He read in the book of mormon and he said he prayed about it and he wants to continue to meet with us. I am so stoked outta my mind. He is so going to get baptised here on his study abroad trip. Elder Ensign said that it was the most spiritual lesson that he has ever had on his mission. By the way Elder ensign is amazing. We are pretty tight already. He is kinda quiet, but he has such a strong spirit with him. I like him already. He is from alaska, and he is super funny. We are going to get along really well and we are going to see a ton of success together. I can see it already. Another investigator of ours, his name is Ney, he is from brasil. He loves playing soccer and he is also a violin master. He is here studying with one of the most world renouned violin teachers in an academy of Mozart. He is actually playing in a concert this wednesday with the Salzburg philharmonic orchestra, and he gave us two free tickets to it!!!! He also gave us a cd of his violin music!!!!! But that is not even the best part!! He has come with us to church the last two sundays, yesterday was stake conference and he really enjoyed that because they had portuguese translation at it just for him. He is so ready he loves coming to church and it just so happens that we found a lady in our ward that can also speak portuguese. She is a less active member, so it is like two birds with one stone/book of mormon. We are going to reactivate her and then baptise Ney! I am so pumped everyday to wake up and be a missionary. AAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!! Its Awesome!!! Well... Im gonna email president and report about the amazing week we had i will get back in a short bit LUV YOU BUNCHES!!!!
