 Dear family:

 Last week we did a lot of contacting again we also accidentally doored a strip club.... I definitely won't make that mistake twice.

We went by on a lot of less actives this week and gave them invitations to our ward conference. We gave out like 5 million haha. Well one guy actually came and I have to admit I was actually really surprised he even volunteered to lead the music in sacrement meeting. That was way cool. Last Thursday we had interviews in Salzburg. That is like a 3 hour train ride from Klagenfurt, but it is also the most beautiful train ride in the world. Right thru the Alps! amazing! Anyway while we were in Salzburg I saw the House Mozart was born in and the house he lived in during his adult life! And that was just from the Bus ride. I also saw the Sound of Music mansion were the Von trap family lived in, in the movie. On Saturday we competed in an international soccer tournament. We got last haha. But our investigators we had there had a lot of fun and we were able to share the gospel with a lot of people there. The Klagenfurt missionaries compete in this tournament every year and the players told us that we were the best missionary team that has ever played. I believe it too because we only lost by one goal every game and we were playing against Europeans who live and breath futball. Not to much more happened this week:

 Love you guys!

Dear Family:

So first things first. I didn't mean for my email to sound negative last week. I am doing better than I have my whole mission. I promise. I'm not discouraged, depressed, or anything of that sort. I was just stating what my new area was like so you could get a feel for it. I actually am the exact opposite of all those things. I love the ward, my Comp and the other Elders that I live with. The work is long, tough and cold but its no different than in Rosenheim. 'Im doing all of the same type of things just with less investigators and more time to go finding but I am actually loving life right now. (except for the fact that the Seahawks lost to the Patriots... I hate Tom Brady)

Anyway...

On Tuesday Elder Rodgers and I went and Doored Emmersdorf. It is right outside of Klagenfurt but only rich people live in Emmersdorf haha. They had security cameras everywhere haha. the houses look like they are from Meet the Robinsons haha. Anyway we doored the whole Dorf and no one wanted us.

On Wednesday we went to Villach to visit our less active. He told us that he has never read the whole Book of Mormon so we read the Introduction with him and committed him to start reading with 1 Nephi. Hopefully he will do that. I LOVE LESS ACTIVE WORK!

On Thursday we went and doored another little Dorf outside of Klagenfurt. We were able to find one potential and he told us to come back another time so hopefully that will pan out. Lots of doors got slammed in our face but I love when that happens cuz my future wife gets that much prettier ( The harder I work the better looking my wife will be) haha.

On Friday It dumped snow. It was ridiculous but it was actually an answer to the prayer that I said the night before. I was praying and  I basically said that all of the ''Normal'' contacting approaches aren't working so I asked for something new. Than the morning it started snowing and by the end of studies there was about 5-6 inches of snow on the Ground and Elder Rodgers had the Idea to go and shovel peoples driveways and I love the Idea. We went to our Bishop's Neighbors' 

house and shoveled their driveway with them. They know the missionaries and met them one time but after we shoveled their driveway they told us that the would invite us in a couple of weeks for dinner. We will absolutely take advantage of that haha.

Saturday I was on exchange with Elder Bliss. He is a transfer younger than me so i guess I was the ''Experienced missionary'' haha JK. He is a great missionary. We went and contacted a referal from the Mesa AZ temple in Sagrad. Sagrad is like 20 houses and all the people there are LOADED. The guy was home and he said that he wanted a Book of Mormon so we taught that to him and he was excited to start reading. While Elder Bliss and I were working, Elder Rodgers and Elder Miller said that they found a golden 20 yr old dude so I am really excited to start teaching him.

Love Ya a ton.
