Montag
Monday, we went to Salzburg a day early for Zone Training. We did
emails, and then went to Festung Hohen Salzburg, which is an 11th
Century Fortress. So that was super cool! You get a great view of
the city! And it was sprinkling just slightly, so everything looked
even greener! And then we had a sleepover with Salzburg Zone
Leaders. Brixen was also there, so we had eight elders all together.
Dienstag
The day of Zone Training! It was so good!!! We talked a lot about
being better missionaries. What can we improve on and such. Being
better teachers, and working with the members better. We also talked
about being more confident! In ourselves, the language and such!
Man, it was such a good meeting. And then we had a Zone Celebration
afterwards. We had a grill party and played soccer, frisbee, and
football. It was ton of fun. And then we took the three hour train
ride back. It is so beautiful.
Mittwoch
Wednesday morning, we had inspections. We passed. We did
studies, and then we did a little bit of area book work. AKA,
calling people that had interest in the church. And then we went out
to go talk to people. We also went by on "G", the referral
from last week. His roommate let us in. So we waited in the
hall way, he shooed us, came and pushed us out, started mumbling,
and then tried shoving the Book of Mormon back into our bags... All
the while we literally did nothing... It was sad to see him do that.
So then we went out and talked to some people.
Donnerstag
Thursday, we got Elder Kaufusi registered in the city, then went
and applied for a visa. Then we went to the Police Station to start
his license process. Then we went to Villach to have a lesson with "I". Well, we tried calling him, but he never answered. We found
out later that his phone was having problems. Well, we just talked
to people on the street. It was also super nice that day. We
explored Villach and eventually came across a park. Elder Kaufusi
asked if he could play basketball with this one guy. So, I sat on
the bench for a little. And then some guy came up and sat next to
me. We started talking, and he was actually a Jehovah's Witness. We
had a fantastic conversation and eventually exchanged contact info.
So crazy, how short of time friendship requires. After, I joined
basketball, with a new guy and elder Kaufusi! It was loads of fun,
and then ended and exchanged numbers. Then we got slushies and went home.
Freitag
Friday, we did some weekly planning. Then went to the church for
the Gemeinde Putztag. It was great. Cleaned the church with the
ward. Then we had dinner with the Casella family! They are an
awesome family from Italy!!! They are so wonderful!!!
Samstag
Saturday, we had lunch with the Kaiser Family. They are so
great!!! Their kids are great as well! So hyper, but awesome!!! We even played Settlers of Catan with them! Well, we didn't finish, it
would take too long. But next time! And then we went by on some
people and then ate at an awful Chinese buffet. Never again... -__-
And then we went home.
Sonntag
Sunday was great!!! Loved it! We talked about being a Light to
the World. We can be examples of Christ to the world, simply by the
way we act! Nothing special!!! That's it, just acting Christlike.
We don't need to have a parade, or be some outstanding volunteer, or
some famous charity! All we need to do is start with the person that
we see in the mirror. Acting kind and loving will go much farther
than money will ever go!
