Two weeks of letters in one....
June 29th letter:
"Every Saturday from 9 to 5 we help one of the ward member redo a house he bought. It really needs a lot of work but it's been fun. We have destroyed a fireplace, moved a bunch of old rotten wood, unscrewed stag and moved a lot of stone. So yeah, the hedgehog I found Saturday while we were moving a brush pile. It was along the fence line and it was curled up in a ball so I picked it up and it came out of its ball after 2 min or so. I sent pictures. But that's about it
We talk with this really cool less active member, we don't teach him lessons we just talk about life and stuff like that. He has really improved over the last couple of weeks, I'm really proud of him. It's finally cooled off here, so it's not as hot or humid. How is everyone doing back home? Like Jacobs and the fam and the squad and Kennedy they tell me things but not everything so yeah hope that you have a great week and things stay cool and I pray for you guys everyday.
Love,
Elder Summers"

July 6th letter:
"Mir geht's ist gut. Mir ist sehr heiß aber es ist ok. Meine Woche ist gut.(I'm good. I am very hot but it's ok. My week is good) We ate at the Hard Rock Cafe for the fourth and it was so nice to have a American style hamburger and ice in your drink, but yeah. On Wednesday we helped move 58 huge hay bales 45 minutes out of Wien. We went with Elders Downs and Buckley and a member to help; We left at 3 and did not get back till 9:45 or so. We were sore till Sunday. We are going back next Wednesday to add another layer of hay bales on top of the ones we put in the hay loft so that should be fun. I'll take a picture so you can see it. Also they have had missionaries over before but never had lessons but when we go back next time they said they wanted to get the first lesson, so I'm super excited for that!
My week was full of service, the hay and helping with the house. We taught a less active and the little girl. We are getting to the main question(baptism) with another one; she cried the whole lesson and the spirit was so strong, it felt like it was hitting her with a baseball bat in the head. Funny thing this week, we were farting a lot due to our upset stomachs, so we laughed at that. My spiritual thought for this week was that Heavenly Father loves everyone and he wants to forgive us, we just have to ask for it. That's what I got out of my scripture reading, I'm in Alma 33, are you still reading as a family? (Yes indeed we are!)
Yeah, Katie told me about the chicken Bro Anderson hypnotized, I think that's sick! Haha, you were a brave girl with your feet hurting you, I'M PROUD OF YOU! (like Shawn). But yeah, the Bros know what happens when you snitch on another bro, good on them not telling you about what we snapped. Yeah I saw the picture of Ian, tell him life really is good and that he should look forward to his mission. Yeah, it's been a fun week, I check the temp at BA every week and it's really hot and humid, sorry. I miss the squad and everyone, tell everyone I love them.
I sent a bunch of pictures that was on the way out to the hay thing. We were up in the hills, it was super cool; the camera could not do it justice. But yeah things have been good. I love you mom
Love,
Elder Summers"

| The hills are alive with the sound of Service. Sorry, couldn't help it, such beautiful rolling Austrian hills. |
