ha ha ha ha ha im so glad that you all got a good laugh out of my joke about the man in kentucky who is the proud new owner of his coleman grill. ya i was just being me. Dad that joke was almost as good as the ice 9 joke that we always had after watching that one movie. Well ya, sorry about last week that i didnt get to write. it was kinda crazy. there was construction on the train tracks to schneeberg and so we had planned to be back in time to go shopping and to send emails and whatnot but that didnt work out to well. so we didnt get to email last week adn we didnt get to go shopping for food. because we were so busy during the rest of the week. So we lived off of just the scraps of what we had in the fridge. but this week was also transfers. Man are transfers stressful. I had to stay at the wien trrainstation adn wait for elders adn sisters, and make sure that they all come and go at the right times. Elder paschen and Elder piscan however encountered troubles on their way here and came like three hours late. Apparently rocks fell on the tracks in tirol and they had to get out and take a bus to a different train station and then continue riding to wien. but i am lucky that they both came. I am staying here in wien. I am still zone leader. Elder blair got transferred away to stuttgart, the old swiss mission. The combination of the two missions is coming into effect. Which is really cool. My new companion his name is Elder Paschen. He is from hamburg. He was serving in the Swiss mission and i was serving in the Munich germany austria mission and now we both work together in the Alpine land german speaking mission. Its pretty cool. but i can tell that their president ran things in a little differently than president condie runs things and some missionaries dont want to make the change. Sad. but anyhow. we traveled a lot this week. we had to go to munich to have a special zone leaders council meeting. there is a new curriculum that is going to be coming out in the beginning of may and president wants us to help the mission get up to speed on these things and help the mission progress and start on this new curriculum as soon as possible. It is going to be a great change in the mission adn i am so glad that i get to help be a part of it. I kind of knew that this was coming and i am glad that i am prepared for it. My patriarchal blessing talks about it. This church really is true. We have it. this is it. the one and only true church on the face of the entire earth. Thanks to our loving heavenly father that restored it through a prophet. just as he did in earlier times. He always has given us prophets because he loves us. Mosiah 3,13. and i am so grateful for our prophet today. Thomas s. monson is the living prophet.
We worked hard on member relationships this week. And it has paid off. WE have a couple of appointments with members and they are wanting to give us referrals. im so stoked. that doesnt happen very often here. i have maybe gotten 3 or 4 refferrals on my whole mission. its just a different world here. it was a really good spritual week adn we worked way hard. I love this work. I owe it to my father in heaven. He sent his son for me, and it is the least i can do for HIm. I wish i could do more. i strive constantly to give my best to my Heavenly Father. Because i love him so very much. my favorite scripture for this week is DandC 6:36. Let us constantly look to the Lord. Let us keep our thoughts on Him. Then we will need not doubt or fear.
I love you all and wish you the best.
ELDER ADAMS
