Monday for P-day we just walked around Klagenfurt and what not and I got a picture in front of the Dragon Fountain (Lindwurmbrunnen).

| That statue is of Hercules battling the dragon to save the town of Klagenfurt! |
The town is setting up their Christmas shops, so it will be awesome soon! I'll send pictures when they finally open, and yeah I'll get pictures of the apartment and church building also.
Monday night we were invited to the local mosque to talk with the Muslims there, in English, well it was interesting and what not but I did get a Quran in Arabic with the English translation right next to it so yeah. Tuesday, well we don't have a district just us, so president said we could go to Graz for district meeting so we did that. It's a 2 hour bus ride there and Graz is not even in our zone haha. Then we tried to help with the refugees here but there was nothing that we could do at the moment. They said it's been crazy so we try and help as much as we can. And by them I mean the Austrian Red Cross. They still have no idea what to do with all the refugees and 6.000 are coming every day into Germany or Austria, so yeah it's crazy. Wednesday we went to St. Veit, a city north of Klagenfurt and checked in on less actives in the area and we got invited into a Jehovah Witnesses family home and yeah, we are going back on Saturday, so yeah. The family was a piece of cake compared to the Muslims! Friday we had ward work day. We cleaned the Keller and there are so many rooms down there! Like climb up a little wall and 6 or so feet tall rooms with dirt floors and mold, but we just moved all the canned bread that was canned in 1987-1988......haha! Yeah old right? Then that night we met with the Muslims again and learned a lot about Islam this time. It's an interesting thing haha, but yeah they were not so happy, and when I say they I mean the leader guy, when I said he is doing all the question asking and yeah. But we mostly just sit on the floor and eat nuts and Arabian gum and coconut, it's pretty good, and talk but yeah. Saturday we just went finding in Villach, I sent a picture and video on Dropbox of it and yeah. Sunday was Sunday. We had a ward potluck after, that was fun and then went dooring in Klaggy.
Yeah it seems like Katie and Jack are doing a lot of practices, haha but I hope they do good in Indy. Don't worry about me mom haha that's the last thing I want you to do for me, I'm fine! Yeah it's getting cold here but it's pretty warm today.
So with daddy's day well I can tell you from how I feel is that forgetting the day or not thinking about it is just not the way to go, but that's just how I feel, so yeah.
Yes mom, I am getting enough to eat and we have like 8 blankets and pillows and 7 mattresses so don't worry mom. Austria is not some 3rd world country, haha. Don't worry about shoes, well my shoes are good. I did find another pair in the apartment here and they are in good condition so I have 2 now but my insoles are getting really bad like where the balls of my feet are it's well worn through, but I bought new ones to put over the old so it's all cool.
That's awesome that Anna met the elders there is she having lessons or anything like that? That would be awesome to get the mission weekly email and see her in it! Haha, well I most likely won't see her again because I'm not aloud in Switzerland, only EU elders and sisters are so yeah, but maybe if she comes into Austria or Germany. Well I hope I have not forgotten anything, but yeah I love you mom. You have a great week. Oh I forgot to tell you, on Sunday we had a guy come to church, and well it's been a while since a non member has come to church. The members were happy and nice to him. He said he would come back next week and that he had a great time here, so I'm excited for that.
So you have a great week mom, you do you. :)
Love,
