Dear Family-

I dont have a lot of time because we have to catch a train up to Salzburg today. We have Zone Conference tomorrow and we are getting our Ipads.

We met with Bruder P. and it went well. He didnt come to church this week but he told us before hand and also said that starting next week he can come again so that is good.

We met with W. and he hasn't been to church in 3 weeks and isn't reading in the Book of Mormon. We are trying our hardest to share something that will touch his heart.  he said that he would be baptized when he gets an answer but he isn't doing the things that he needs to in order to get an answer. 

On Friday we did some splits and I was in a Dritt with Elder Miller and Elder Bolt. We were just walking the streets handing out flyers for the Meet the Mormons thing that we are doing and this guy comes running out of a restaraunt yelling at us. We stopped and he talked with us and he told us that he was 7th day aventist. He asked us if we had time and I said ja... My mistake haha. We start walking to his shop and I realized that I didnt have a ´Bible in my bag and I asked Elder Miller if he had one and he said ja. The guy heard that and he said ''Good! You have to have a Sword...'' Great... Anyway we go in there and the whole restaraunt is 7th day Adventists and then they just started going. We tried bring it back to the Book of Mormon but the wouldn't have it haha. They asked us about death and what happens. We talked about the spirit world and they pulled a scripture about how we turn to nothing and that we dont have spirits. The then told us to back up that we had spirits using the Bible. We could fnd anything. The asked a whole bunch of other Questions that we couldn't back up. Obvisousl the answers can be found in the Bible but I cant do it off the top of my head. The last couple of days Elder Bolt and I have been studying the Bible and we found answers to support our doctorine from the pre-existence to baptisms for the dead.

I can't wait to have my I-pad because I am going to make a ''Doctrinator''. So when we talk to members of other faiths I will be able to find the answers to their questions quickly.

Love you guys.
