Montag
Monday was P-Day. Did P-Day things. And then the Schildböck Jr.
family came picked us up, and we did a Grill Party thing. It was so
awesome! They are such an amazing family! They are so cool!
Dienstag
Tuesday we had our District Meeting again! It was the first one
of the transfer. It was pretty good. So this is my District: Elder
Bates and I in St. Pölten, Sisters Alhm and Eden in Wien 1, Elders
Spratling and Wilkins in Wien 1, and Elder and Sister Parker at the
Institute Center. They are pretty awesome. And then we came back to
St. Pölten and did some finding! Wooh! We went pretty hard core.
Mittwoch
Wednesday we had our exchange with the Zone Leaders. I was
working with Elder Albrecht in St. Pölten, haha. It was kind of fun
having the same name with my companion for a day! A couple people
looked at our name tags and then had to do a double check to see if
they were right. Haha, people asked us if we were related or if we
were brothers. But we aren't. So, we did some finding, again! But
this for a lot longer. We did like 6 hours or something like that.
We also went by on an investigator. He hasn't read too much in the
Book of Mormon because Summer time is super busy for the shop he
owns. But he is doing really well. And we also went to a Russian
store that day and bought Aloe Vera drinks! They have little chunks
of it in the drink. I had a Pomegranate one, and it was so good!!!
We also had a cool talk with someone from Somalia. He was pretty
cool. We will hopefully meet up this week.
Donnerstag
Thursday morning, we went over to Sister Huschner's place to help
out in the garden. So we got there, and of course she commented on
our name, ha! Well, Elder Albrecht's job was this: he needed to put
some compost onto a filter, and then shake it, and then dump the bad
stuff in a pile and carry the rest to her garden. This was my job:
to pretty much dig a trench! Well, not really. But I had to dig up
dirt to lay a pipe\hose thingy down. I got way dirty. Haha, and then
we came back home and showered, and then exchanged back. Elder Bates
and I then had to go over to Aggsbach Markt for a lesson. We had to
take a train to Melk and wait there. And while we there, we ran into
Mormons!!! They were here touring some Ship thing. They are from
Utah. It was pretty crazy. And then we took a bus to Aggsbach Markt.
So we were teaching the Chinese family for the last time. This last
Friday they flew back to China. So it was pretty sad. but it was
awesome! We taught about enduring to the end. And then Brother
Hirschmann, the old one, asked a billion questions. And then we
ended it. After the prayer, the mom started speaking, of course in
Chinese. But she was thanking us and the family. She said she was
excited to learn while she was here, and they all said that they
would continue to learn. It was so amazing! And then we got an email
address from them! They are so awesome!!!
Freitag
Friday we started our weekly planning session. But we only got
like two seconds done before we had to leave. We had a lesson out in
the middle of no where. And it was in Wien 1s area... But they
already had a lesson. Well, we took a train out to some village, and
then had to walk like 45 minutes to get to her house. It was pretty
long. And there were all of these fields with dead sunflowers and
corn. Weird... But we finally got there, and she wasn't even home.
So we tried waiting for a bus that was supposed to come in 5
minutes. Well, it never came, like ever. So then we had to walk all
the way back, and right before we got to the train station, we saw
the train come and leave. That was Friday.
Samstag
Saturday we finished our weekly planning, and then called a
billion people. It was crazy. We got a hold of some people. Most of
them said to call later, and then others we made appointments with.
It was good. And then we went and helped break down a children's
furniture set thing. It was at Sister Brunnsteiners and Brother
Bauer helped. It was cool. I love them! And then we went and
delivered it to Sister Hatzak! They cool!
Sonntag
Sunday was way nice. It rained that afternoon as well! But church
was also really good! We had some really good talks about personal
revelation! They were so good. They talked about how it is usually
gradual, or God will just bless us through our obedience. sometimes
He doesn't tell us what to do. Kind of like what He did with the
brother of Jared in Ether 2:22-25. He tells him to figure out a way
to have light in their vessels and the Lord would work with it. Same
with us! The Lord lets us decide sometimes, and He will bless us
through our decision if we are faithful and obedient to the
commandments! It was super good! Well, I love being out here! I love
it so much! Have a good week!
~Elder Albrecht~
