The letter in which Elder Summers shows that he's "♪♫grown a foot or two♪♫"

Elder Plumb and Elder Summers

Hey sorry this is late we had a busy Pday.  So my day was fun.  We had a lesson at 8:30 it got done at 10 or so, then we went over to a members haus(house) for lunch.  We had meatloaf, the Austrians don't use ketchup in their meatloaf but it was good.  That got done at like 1 and then we got Eis(ice) with the family, so yeah we got stuck in traffic so we didn't get home until 4 or so.  We played 2 touch till 7 or so with some local kids, it was fun so yeah, we did not even shop or study yesterday so that's why I'm late. 

 So anyways, I'm glad birthday dinners were good and I heard that sushi was really good.  Sushi is expensive here so we don't get to eat it at all. Oh, I LOVE Sauerkraut!  It's soooo good here, I don't know why I never liked it before!   Eating appointments were good this week, we ate at the Z's, the one family I sent a pic of who looks at your blog for me, haha.  But yeah it was good, we had noodles with some sauce and mushrooms.  

Service is going really good.  We moved more hay bales at the farm and played with the 15 or so cats they have for about an hour or so.   Anyways, then we helped a member with the haus we have been helping him with for the past couple of months.  It's coming along really well.  I love doing service here, it helps you connect with the members.  The ward here is awesome, i love them a lot.  My week was not too eventful nothing crazy happened just teaching.  Teaching is going really good, we have been talking baptism with a couple of them but we will see how it goes.  I love all our investigators, they are cool. 

The smell is going away because it's cooling off.  It's almost sweather weather, so I'm excited.  I might get a cool looking one form H&M, C&A have some cool stuff too but the real place is Primark, its like Walmart.  Everything is super cheap and a lot of missionaries get stuff from there, hahah but yeah. 

 So I have noticed a few things: 

1. All of the people I'm friends with on the mission are about to die, like I have no friends that are 8 or so tranfers out, so I'm basically like a freshman hanging with the seniors, and.. 

2.  I have been thinking about all the missed missionary oppertunities back home, and with the stuff I know now, telling people about the gospel is so much eaiser.  So my advice is when you get done reading a chaper in the Book of Mormon, talk about what you just read and how it could apply to missioonary moments.  Not everything will apply but try and get somthing out of it.  You get so much more out of things when you talk about it with soemone else.   Another good book is the Blueprint of the Gospel, it's a really good read. 

So that's my advice for you.   My testiomoy of the Book of Mormon has grown so much, with all the opposition we face, it makes me believe in it's truth even more.   Anyways,  I love you mom.   You have a great week and stay amazing.
I love you.

 Love,
 Your Missionary
