I hope your all doing well! I've had an awesome last couple weeks with a lot going on. First off we had an awesome lesson with Almas. Before the lesson we were getting ready to leave and I had a bloody nose that just came out of nowhere. Once it had stopped we stepped out the door, behind schedule of what we had planned. We decided to run to the bus stop about five minutes walk from our house on the slim chance we would catch a bus that would get us to the appointment on time. Miraculously we actually got there at the same time as the bus. It was just a little miracle, but it was amazing. Then we caught up with Almas and we really talked about how one can come to know if the church is true. We talked about Alma 32, a classic and easy to remember for her, and it went really really well.
Christmas here was also very interesting. It begins with Christmas eve. This is the main day of Christmas in Austria. We were invited to the family Hockinberger that day and had an awesome time. We ate food, sang songs, and talked about different traditions we all have. The Christkind visited us (the Christ child comes with presents in Austria, probably because Santa already has so much work to do, and we got a scarf and candy and a tie! Then they brought out a giant board full of meats and cheeses and breads for dinner. It was awesome. On Christmas day we had a really long District meeting for the day with halte Stringoms. We had a lot of fun and it was really really cool. Then yesterday came the last holiday for Christmas. We spent this one with the family Meyer and it was also really cool. We ate out at a fancy Chinese buffet and played games together as well as shared our experiences in choosing to come and serve a mission. It was way cool!!
Now we're back to normal missionary work which will be good. It's been weird not to be out on the streets a bunch the past couple days. I'm excited for all of what's coming up. Hopefully we get some snow soon since all of ours melted a few days before Christmas. Thanks so much for all of the letters and support! It really means a lot to me. I'm sorry if I haven't gotten back to you all yet, but I will soon! I love you all!
Elder Golly's favorite scripture :
"12 And now, my sons, remember, remember that it is upon the rock of our Redeemer, who is Christ, the Son of God, that ye must build your foundation; that when the devil shall send forth his mighty winds, yea, his shafts in the whirlwind, yea, when all his hail and his mighty storm shall beat upon you, it shall have no power over you to drag you down to the gulf of misery and endless wo, because of the rock upon which ye are built, which is a sure foundation, a foundation whereon if men build they cannot fall."
Trust in God and Jesus Christ and they will not let you down. I know it and I promise that when you try it, you can see for yourself how true it is. I love you guys, have a great week.
-Elder Wiser
