This week was a ton of travelling.

on Thursday we had our mission tour in Munich. (its like mission conference but our mission is too big so there is a mission tour in Zürich for the Switzerland missionaries and than one in Munich for the German and Austrian missionaries) But Munich is so far away from Klagenfurt that we had to leave a day early and we overnighted in Salzburg with the Zone leaders. Their apartment is SOOOOO nice I felt like I was in a hotel. The next day I got on a train and the first people I saw were the Didenhovers! haha that was pretty cool. I chatted with them for a little bit. At our mission tour we had Patrick Kearon of the 70. It was so cool to have him there. ( probably because i really miss english people/ Elder Bakewell right now haha). He told us a lot of things that we can do better in the mission and it wasn't anything really new. Be obedient, diligent, the harder you work the prettier your wife will be... you know the usual but it was done with such a loving manner. He is way cool. 

We weren't able to get all the way down to Klagenfurt that night so the office assigned us to stay in ROSENHEIM!!!!!!!!!!! It was really cool. I was working with Elder Kastendieck again even if it was for a few hours. All of us went to Manuels house for an appointment. It was so great to see him again and he is still making great steps to be 100% active again. It was cool to see how much he has progressed from the time that Elder Evans and I started helping him to now. It was really cool to see that even though I wasn't the best missionary that I was still able to impact the people in Rosenheim even if it was a little bit. 

Yesterday we met with Herr T. and we went into the appointment thinking that we were going to crack down and see if he really would want this and it was clear to see that the appointment wasn't going the way we wanted it too. we were there for 2 1/2 hours and he kind of took control of the situation and I thought that the appointment was a waste but the he got all quite and said that ever since we started meeting with him that he has felt a peace that he hasn't felt in a long time and than he asked Us if we would pray right there. MIRACLE! I was praying the whole time and was just like ''Heavenly Father, How are we suppose to gain control of this appointment'' and then he asked us to pray! way cool. I asked him if next time we could share with him about a plan that God has prepared for us. He said that that would be wonderful! Interest sparked! Now we just have to get him to start doing things to gain a testimony.

Love ya. Have a great week. It still freaks me out that I have a cousin younger than me getting hitched...

I forgot to tell you about Fasching. It is basically the German/ Austrian version of Mardi Gra. It is huge here but not as crazy.(thank goodness) Anyway Elder Rodgers and I had to blow up 500 balloons for the Fasching party for the primary haha.
