February 16
Well, I am still jealous of your warm weather, but it is starting
to get warmer here as well. I will be so happy when I can go outside
without a coat again. I am getting sick of it. But at the same time it
isn't that bad here so I should stop complaining. Sounds like you are
all enjoying yourselves. It is good that Megen keeps you all locked in
where you should be. :)
Sounds like stuff on the farm is great.There are some things that you didn't do so much before and then you
can't do them and you miss it a ton. There are lots of things that I
miss that I am excited to do again. But I am ok to wait for another year
or so. :)
This week was really busy, because we were traveling a lot. We
went to Munich for something called Mission Tour. And if you are like
Blake you will think it is when we all get in a Van and tour the
mission. That is not the case. Although that would be really fun.
Sometimes I am jealous of the AP's and office elders who get to do that
all the time. But instead of that we got to hear from one of the area
70 who talked to us about how we can improve and what we are doing
great. It was an awesome meeting. I am super glad that we got to go.
It took us about 3 days to get there and back, but it was totally worth
it. We talked a lot about being happy in any circumstance and we choose
our attitude. And I got thinking about how true that really is. Life
is 1% what happens to you and 99% how you react. We choose how we want
to live and what we want to do. And it is amazing that we have that
choice.
We had a faschings(carnival) party with the ward this week. That
was really fun. We dressed up as elders, cuz we can't really dress up
too much. But it was super fun to go and have fun with the ward and the
kids. It makes it really hard to learn peoples names however when they
are in costume. Man it was really hard. It was kind of like Halloween, but we just came together and played games, and of course ate
food. Can't be a Mormon function without food. :) One of the elders
here is actually going home in 2 weeks and he his headed to Utah. He is
from Hawaii (kind of) and his family is in Utah right now. So they
will stay there for a year or so before going back to Hawaii. So he
dressed up with a skirt thing and a hawain tie. It was fun. The other
one loves batman and so he had a fun mask for that. We had a great
time.
Then one of the group of elders from our distrikt had a baptism
this week. They were he in Graz cuz their branch doesn't have a font...
So it was really nice that we were able to go. And he is now getting
ready to work towards going on a mission in a year so that is really
cool as well. The work is moving forward. People need the gospel and
we are here to give it to them. It really is a marvelous work. I am so
glad to be a part of it.
This week will be really busy. We have an exchange with the
sisters in Vienna. So that will be exciting. I am staying here in Graz
and sister Bishop is headed there. Then on Saturday
we have transfer calls again. It seems like they were just yesterday,
but they are back again. We are hoping to stay together, but we are not
sure. So I will let you know next week. Love you tons. You are
always in my prayers.
Liebe Grüße
Sister Poll
