Dear Family:

What a week!  I am sooooo tired . I forgot my planner so I don't know how long this email will be haha. So first off.  My Comp is Elder Rodgers and he is from Canada.  He likes the mountains and snowboarding.  So far the majority of my companions in the field are Canadian haha. That is way funny because there are almost 300 missionaries in the mission and only 3 are from Canada. I only need one more and then I would have served with all the Canadians in the mission. Austria is way cool. The dialect is tough for me right now but that is pretty normal. I will be fine in about a week. The Austrians are way nicer than the Germans but they don't want to listen to us stil.. I haven't been able to see the mountains yet because it is rain, rain, rain but once that clears up than it will be fine and beautiful and everything. The area is struggling right now. We only have on investigator who wont get baptized in this life time. We have done so much finding in the couple of days that I have been here. Its weird because we had so much going on in Rosenheim but here its like opening an area but I have 6 months (hopefully) to make something happen here and I am excited about that.

I only have one story from this week. Yesterday we were going by on some potentials and former investigators and kontakting. We were getting stuffed. We went by on this one guy and he leaned out of his window and he told us that he didnt have anymore interest but then he invited us up for tee and cake. He was from Bosnia but that is the classic attitude of Austria. They don't want to talk about religion but they will feed you haha. Definitely different than Germany haha. When people don't have interest there they usually give you cuss words and rude comments not cake haha. 

Love you guys hopefully next week I will be able to tell you about a sick new investigator we found.

Bis dann
