Progress is Being Made

This week was really good. This week we had Tausch which is just exchanges so I was in Linz for a few days. Linz is the 3rd largest city in Austria behind Graz and obviously Wien. While I was there I got to meet some of the sisters in our district because Linz is both an Elders and Sisters area. Linz is pretty cool and I did some finding there. Nobody was interested but it was still a good experience. 

Saturday was zone conference for all of Austria. It was really good experience and I really enjoyed it. I got to see a lot of friends from the MTC and it was really good to catch up with them and talk about our experience so far. The lunch that was provided was really good, it was snitzel. It was great to have had a bit of a break for a day. On the way back home, we didn't know which train to take but we figured it out. Because we live in a Dorf, we had to change trains and so we got off at the stop we needed only to find out that we just missed the second train. This train only runs once an hour so we stuck at a Bahnhof for a solid hour. It was some good wholesome fun.

This we week we taught the Nigerians again. On Tausch, Elder Summers and Elder Hammerstrom, one of the Elders from Linz, were able to teach Emanuel and Emanuel said that he wanted to be baptized. So we went back on Sunday and set up a date for him to be baptized. We are trying to get him baptized before the end of the transfer so Elder Summers can at least see his baptism.

That's really about it this week. I am so thankful to have had this opertunity to serve my Lord and Savior with this work here is Austria. Till next week.
