Woche der Einladungen
(Week from before this last week)
Montag
Well, Monday we started off by buying
no groceries!!! That was really dumb. We thought we had enough
food... And then we took a three hour train to Salzburg. It was so
long! But it was super pretty. When we got into Salzburg, we
sent off our emails and then went into the city. We went to some
Trachten shop, so Elder Jensen could get some Joggers. And then when
we were walking down the street looking at some store, the
missionaries from Innsbruck saw us! So I saw Elder Wilkins and
Sister Barter again! Wooh! And, guess what! I lost my iPad... So,
that was kind of terrible. But I said a prayer, and I got the
reassurance that it would be fine. We left a note at the Trachten
store to call me if she found it. So, our night continued and we
eventually ventured over to the Zone Leader's apartment. Well,
slowly everyone arrived after us. There were 10 people altogether
staying at the apartment. So many people! And I slept in a chair.
Dienstag
Tuesday was the day we had Zone
Training. So the entire zone was there. And we talked about Personal
Conversion. It was super good! We talked about how God is always
there to help us and lift us up! So we never need to fear! Oh, and
during the meeting I got a call from the Trachten lady. She said she
found my iPad!!! So, after the meeting, I was on an exchange with
Elder Nebeker. We got changed and went over to Germany. It was
weird. Good weird, but different. And we helped some family
move. We lifted boxes and a play set thing! And I got a
Faschingskrapfen (Faschings Donut). It was super good. And then we
went finding down by some river. The Salzach... IT was fun. We
talked to a ton of people! We had a super good talk with some couple
from Germany. They were non denominational. We gave them a Book of
Mormon, and said they would try to read, if they have enough time.
And then I had a Dürüm, and the other s(there were only four of us
now) had Döners. It was yummy. Oh, and the others picked my iPad up
for me!!! Apparently the shop had been open for three hours before
she found it laying on some random shelf! Miracle!!!!!!
Mittwoch
So, we did studies and then
we had lunch with some member. They are fasting(Lent), so we ate
soup. And then we ate Buchtel... It is some Hungarian dish I
believe. But it is like a dinner roll stuffed with jam and you put
vanilla sauce over it. That was the main course. It was
sooooo good!!!!!!! And then we went back to Klagenfurt! And there
was a snowstorm the night before, So it was a lot more snowy going
back. And then we had ward council. Pretty good.
Donnerstag
Well, finally get to work in
Klagenfurt again! We went and handed out Invitations to 'Meet
the Mormons'. They are showing it this Saturday! Wooh! SO, we passed
out tons of invitations. And then we eventually ate with the
Kaiser's. SO, that was awesome! Their family is the best!!!! And we
talked about Baptism with "C" their youngest boy He is getting
ready for Baptism soon.
Freitag
Friday, we had an invitation pass out
party. So, a couple of the
men from the ward came, and helped us pass out invitations. I was
with Br. Cassella, and Elder Jensen was with Br. Mauch and Marcao
Cassella. We passed out so many!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Seriously, like
maybe 2000. It was a lot.
Samstag
Saturday, we went to Tainach-Stein. We
taught "H" and "A" at the Bahnhof... Train station... We taught the restoration. We used google translate, broken English,
and lots of pictures. It went really well. Those two dudes are
awesome!!! And then we came back and cleaned the floors in the
chapel and gym. And then we went over to the Danilliants. They are
Russian, but from Moldova! That is so cool! My ancestors are
from Moldova as well! Well, when it was Russia and German speaking
settlements... But still cool!!!
Sonntag
Well, I gave a talk. I spoke about
Lehi's Dream. Well, just the beginning. At the beginning of 1 Nephi
8, Lehi says that a man dressed in white tells him to follow and to
come with. Well, after hours of traveling, Lehi notices that he has
no clue where he is. It is dark and dreary. So, what does he do, he
prays! He prayed that the Lord would be merciful and help him out! I
spoke about how it is so similar in today's world. Sometimes, we
find ourselves in a dark and dreary waste. And sometimes, it is
while we are being righteous! Just like Lehi, we follow the Lord,
and then we feel lost! We have a trial and obstacle! Well, what do
we need to do? Pray! Don't turn away!
The rest of church was really good.
I got to play the piano during Primary for a couple of minutes and then we went to the Kaiser's again for lunch. It was spaghetti!
Wooh! We taught the Plan of Salvation. And we used
different rooms to help explain where were are, where we are going and
what we do there. It was awesome!!!
