Some days, you just need expired fruit drinks.

Hey guys! Hope your week is going well! Everything is pretty good over here! We've been pretty busy, but nothing super new has been happening.

We had a couple of awesome eating appointments with members this week, and that means great food!! Oh, the food here is so awesome. At home I was never a huge fan of salads, but Austrians can make a mean salad. I mean like awesome! Of course I can't be too healthy, so I make sure to get lots of other good stuff in there as well. Including Knödel. It is a really good type of food.

We also had an interesting eating appointment this week. A friend of the church, bless his heart, took us all out to breakfast. It was at a social breakfast and the meal cost 20 cents. Normally this is to help those who don't have as much get some food, (this friend is technically homeless) but as missionaries, we went in white shirts and ties. I've never felt so upper class in my life and it was terrible. The food was really good, but I felt like a snob eating it. I am super grateful for this friend of the church though for taking us there. It was very nice of him. 

Don't worry, not all that we do is with eating appointments haha. We also did some good finding this week and had some appointments planned with friends of the church. Unfortunately many of them fell out, but that's okay. We have planted seeds and I am confident that when the time is right, these people will have the chance to receive the restored gospel of Jesus Christ!!

I hope that you all had an amazing week and that all is going well!

Spiritual Thought:
2 Nephi 31 : 21 - " And now, behold, my beloved brethren, this is the way; and there is none other way nor name given under heaven whereby man can be saved in the kingdom of God. And now, behold, this is the doctrine of Christ, and the only and true doctrine of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, which is one God, without end. Amen. "

This is the message that we as missionaries share with others, that we have found the truth, and we know it to be the truth, but here is the best part,

Ether 12 : 4 - " Wherefore, whoso believeth in God might with surety hope for a better world, yea, even a place at the right hand of God, which hope cometh of faith, maketh an anchor to the souls of men, which would make them sure and steadfast, always abounding in good works, being led to glorify God. "

When we are just willing to believe, we are filled with hope! From this hope, we can come to know that we can live with God again! Our message is of happiness! And I know it to be true!

I love you all!
