Dear family-

Oh meine gute, wie schnell ist die Zeit gegangen. Es ist unglaublich, dass meine Schwester schon mit ihrer Mission fertig ist. Ich habe Angst davor, weil es heißt, dass ich der einziger Missionar bin... komisch.

Well I guess that means that Stevie will see this from the Computer at home... Immer noch komisch.

last week was a lot of work haha. We had three full days of service right at the end. Thursday, Friday and Saturday. We helped our Bishop move his kids tree house because it was way sketchy the way it was haha. I re fenced his chicken house and it made me WAY manual labor trunky. It reminded me of working on the property but its ok I snapped out of the trunkiness when a chicken bit me haha. 

When we weren't doing service this week we were finding the whole time but its amazing how fast a day of finding goes when you enjoy it. On tuesday we made a game out of street contacting. I really wanted a flag so we just started asking people where we could find one. It eventually lead to this shop that didnt have any flags but the sold some cool t shirts. I bought one that is black, It has a warning sign with the outline of a Kangaroo and it says ''NO KANGAROOS IN AUSTRIA'' It is funny because everyone gets Austria and Australia mixed up haha. 

I have been really fired up to find this week. We only got two potentials that didn't really pan out but we read a quote that president Hinckley told at a multi stake meeting in München. This happened years ago, but he talked about why Europe was a hard area for missionary work and the German speaking realm is the hardest, at least number wise. but he said that for every man, woman and child that are members of the church in the German speaking countries, Each individuals is the equivilent to 1000 doors being knocked. All I have to do is hit 1000 haha. But that quote from President Hinckley fired me UP! LETS GO! I just want to get to the point where Stevie is at and know that ''I left it all on the field''. Even if I never personally see any of my investigators get baptized or I just knock doors my whole mission and get stuffed at every single one, I want to be acountable for what I did. And if I live the rest of my mission the way I did this last week, It will happen.

Love ya guys. Welcome home Stevie: Mach's weiter. Have a great week.
