I hope that you are all doing well!
This week has been way fun. We had interviews with President in Salzburg. Unfortunately, because transfers are short this transfer (4 weeks instead of 6) we don't have a zone conference. But we do have a Christmas zone conference coming up soon. As for the subject of this email, this week we got snow! It hasn't stuck to the ground here in Linz, but in the surrounding areas, it is a winter wonderland!
Work wise, it has been a good week this week as well. We had another appointment with one of our new investigators, Almas, and we explained the Word of Wisdom and a few questions that she had. We also spent some time in Haag am Hausruck meeting with investigators and non actives, as well as going to church! We meet with Andreas who is still doing awesome! Love that guy! Other then that we have been doing a little bit of finding. We got a few potentials, but so far they have all fallen through. Sad day. It is a little harder to talk to people in the cold, but it is still going well.
We've had a new development in the Linz areas. Since we have four elders in one city, we are going to be working together a lot more. This means that Elder Hilton and I will be maybe working with an investigator or two that the other Elders were working with and we will also be going on exchanges a lot more to better meet the needs of our investigators. It should be a lot of fun.
Scripture of the week! Matthew 6:21 “For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also." I came across this scripture while reading some of the references to Jesus in the topical guide. (As a mission, we have been challenged to read all of the references.) I have read this scripture before, but it just stuck out to me this time. I was thinking about how important it is that we put our heart with something that lasts, because where our heart is determines our happiness. If we put our treasure and thus our heart into earthly treasures, idols, or habits, our happiness can never last. We will always fall. But if we put our hearts into the gospel of Christ, it will be eternal. It's call the plan of Happiness for a reason! I'm so glad that I was given the opportunity to know it and to share it with others. What an amazing opportunity!
Anyways I hope you guys are all having an amazing week and lots of fun. And I hope you are all having an amazing December, regardless of if it's a white Christmas season or not! If you haven't gotten a chance to look at #light the World, I would encourage you to do so and challenge you to try to do something everyday of December to grow closer to Christ. He loves you!
I love you all, see you next week!
