So this week I got 2 Taufe termins!!! (Baptismal dates) one in
Zürich before I left and the other in Salzburg at the end of the week!!! It is
amazing to see people really want to come closer to the Savior and really want
to know what He wants for them. The Lord is preparing people to hear His message!
I left Sister Heller this week; she is super cute. I'll miss her and her creative finding
ideas! We had a great two months together, taking over Zürich (Zürich where
leaders are born). Then she helped carry my billion bags to Hauptbahnhof to
catch my train to Salzburg. (Yeah I still have a little under a year left, not
sure how this whole packing 2 suitcases under 30 pounds is going to
work...)
I am really going to
miss Zürich and especially the Schwamendingen ward and Sister Heller. Alle sind
so lieb!!
TRANSFERS: So I am now in the
wonderful, beautiful, traditional land of Salzburg where the grass is greener
and the music in my head is Mozart. This is also the land of the Sound
of Music, which apparently I will see quite a bit of while I am here
(the land where it was filmed).
My
new companion: Sister
Miller. She is a beautiful redhead, who hails from Portland, Oregon where,
using her words "it's weird." She is not so happily celebrating her
17th month (kind of) this month. So I get to send her home at the
end of our 6 weeks together. She loves science, art, and volleyball!
We had the chance to go
to a wedding as well (well the reception) and that was really fun. We helped
set up and then were able to go for about an hour before we had to return home
(the receptions here go for hours and hours and hours) the food was really good.
Today:
We visited the Mozart Wohnunghaus (basically
the house where he lived not the house where he was born, so much cooler), I
took the tour in German (hey Sprachstudium) and it was really interesting! Even
though he is famous for the piano, they really focused on the violin which I
thought was cool!
Also bought a Dirndl today!!! Because
when in Salzburg.... It looks super cute and traditional. Sorry no pics yet. It
is being sized so in a week or two I'll have super utensils pictures.
One quick spiritual
thought: The Lord puts people in
our lives and gives us experiences so that we can learn and grow, it is our
responsibility to learn from them and share our experiences (when appropriate).
The Lord has invested a lot in each and every one of us. We are His Children
and He loves us. I know that because I have felt His love.
Have a great week!!!
Alles Liebe
