Have Fun, Work Hard, Do the Lord's Work...

This week was interesting I told you what I did Monday, hiking the Dobratsch....

Beauty as far as the eye can see.

Beautiful old chapel in the Dobratsch

 Tuesday we went to the McOmbers, they do genealogy work and work with books that date back to 1630 or so, it was really cool to see that.  Then later we stopped by on people in Kühnsdorf and yeah, then we helped with the refugees in Klagenfurt.   We set up beds for them and what not, I'll send a pic.. 

Aiding the refugees in Klagenfurt

 Wednesday was tausch, which means we change comps for the day. I went with Elder Bybee to get his visa, then after we were done with that all of us went to an Asian buffet.  At the end they put down shots for us, as a "on the house" drink! Haha!  It's funny, if you look old enough to drink they give you drinks.   That night we had dinner at the Christisans, the senior couple here so that was fun.  Oh, that day we also met a drunk American that the other elders found and well, he was pissed because his phone had gotten stolen. He kept saying he was going to lead a life of crime now cause it was stolen and he was going to go beat up and kill Serbs cause they stole it.  So we (Elder Bybee and myself) spent a good half hour trying to get him not to kill or beat up anyone! So yeah, he was VERY drunk haha.  

Thursday we saw the other two elders off so now it's just me and Elder Nelson. 

McKendrick and Summers

Summers/Bybee goodbye

We also had a Skype lesson with a person who lives 3 hours away and well, if the gospel was a pool she jumped in the deep end, head first, without knowing how to swim, like watching the Temple video and yeah, stuff like that.  Then later we cleaned the apartment because it was really dirty, and yeah that was that.  

Friday was just dooring and on Saturday we doored some more.

Dooring the chapel in the Dobratsch 

 That was on Halloween day, then at night we helped with the ward kids party, but no trunk or treating here. So yeah, that's my week.

(Answering questions)  Yeah they do the fall back thing here also.  Well honestly we had no eating appointments this week so I just had what we had at home haha. (cereal) My German, well honestly it's coming along, but not where I would like it to be.  Like I can understand some but not all, and my comprehension is not that great like I hear the words and what not but it takes a while to register what they said, if that makes sense.  Well the blessing I have seen this week is with my German, it's getting better line upon line.  I'm just not that fast of a learner, but yeah.  

 I love you mom. You are the very best mom ever but you know that, haha.  Keep up all the hard work you do and be awesome.

 Love,
 Elder Summers
