Well i´m super stoked!!!!! wanna know why? this week has been going great. WE have worked our bums off. So as i got here we had two investigators that they were teaching. One of the investigators we taught this week we committet to baptism. Her name is heidi. She said that she would think about getting baptised on the 31st of july. So we are going to keep working on that. She is really a special lady. She is super prepared to accept the gospel. It will just take a little time to help her along the way of gaining a testimony. Plus the adversary is fighting against us. She broke her foot on saturday so she wanted to come to church again but she wasnt able to make it. But all will be well. She is the only investigator that we were teaching now because the other one that we had as i got here has not been keeping committments and he never keeps the appointments. Elder Blair told me as i came here that they found only one investigator last transfer. He told me that he and his last companion, although they were zone leaders, did not get along well. So he told me that he is thankful that i am here and that i brought a super good work ethic with me to make our area an example for our zone. WE found two new investigators this week adn that was great. We improved in everyaspect of the work this week. We taught more lessons. WE made out more appointments and its wonderful to see how an area that is not doing so hott can be changed with: RECIPE...... a little faith (mustard seed sized) and effort (all you´ve got). That really is a principle that i have found to be true and that has helped me through the tough times when we dont see as much success: "Pray like it all depends on the Lord, and work Like it all depends on you". Works in everysituation. And with the progress we made this week we will soon be helping a lot of people on the way to baptism and making this area an example for our zone. Speaking of that. We planned for zone konferenz. That was such a wonderfully spiritual experience. I learned so much, as i thought about the needs of the people in the zone, and what we could teach to help them achieve their purpose as missionaries for the rest of theirs missions. The merging of the two missions went well, so far as i know. There wont be too much merging as of now. this transfer president condie is leaving everybody in their areas in switzerland and here in austria and germany so that wont change to much but i expect a lot of changes next transfer. We are starting a revolution with our missionaries. We are firing them up. THis is now a new mission. THey now have the chance to be new missionaries and the chance to become the mission that they are going to envision. We are going to focus on change in this zone conference. I think that it will be a wonderful experience and we will all learn and grow.
Im glad that all is going better there at home. THank you for keeping me informed. That is really nice of you. Here is a scripture for grandma if you get the chance to give it to her. Psalms 147.3 and tell her that i love her!
Spencer is going to EFY. that is cool elder blairs girlfriend is working at EFY. Tell him to look out for Emily. What a small world. Chelsea also was roommates with Emily in college down at snow. This world really is a small world. wanna know why else? ya so this week we had to fill in a spot in a concert that the institute center was putting on here because the two people that should have played couldnt come. and so we prepared to sing the Prayer of the Children. (like the insideout group does it) We got to practice for about an hour before the concert and there is an english ward here in wien that all the BYU students come to and so some of them came to this concert. And surprise, mckenzie bird is here on the exchange programm from byu. Ya intense stuff. She is all grown up. That was super wierd. Plus there were other americans there. They were my age. Hmmm it just felt wierd. I forgot how different americans are. but it was cool. the song we sang went really well. I sang the Bass part. ya it was hard. but it sounded way good.
Ya the hat i bought in innsbruck. there was a pretty sweet sale in the inner city and so i bought it for nine euros.
