Frühlings ist hier!

O man the weather is just so beautiful here in Graz right now! The sun is shining and I couldn't be happier. The week was great! We were able to have a lot of extra time, because mostly all of our appointments fell out, but it was great time to go by on people. Saturday we were able to help a family in our ward build their house! It was soo much fun. I honestly never thought anyone built their own houses anymore, but this family is, and what is done is mind blowing!! The lived in the green, countryside about 45 minutes away, and we helped with nailing wood, and cleaning all day. They even have sheep so we helped the sheep and chased them.. hahah It was such a blast. Sister Regnier, the Elders, and I were seriously in our element. We were your missionary form of Bob the Builder! haha

 

My tausch in Vienna was great! I thought it would be hard for me, but it actually made me realize that I am not suppose to be there. Definitely a Tender Mercy for me, but it was great to be back! I was able to go to the Institute Zentrum and see some of my favorite places there! It was a good reunion with the city, and Sister Motto and I had a blast together! We were able to find a lot of people together so it was definitely a success!

 

Osei had an incredible baptism this week! On Friday when we met with him, he told us that he had bought a new suit and he was going to get a haircut for his big day-He was so excited and ready!!! The baptism was soo good. The spirit was so strong and everyone was just teary up. He was just beaming from every pore.  It was so cute. He knew that he just made a huge step in his life and he is so excited to continue on the path. He told us that his goal is to go to the temple! Goodness. He is just such a good example to me. After the baptism we headed to Bishops house for an eating appointment with Osei. Bishop and his family totally welcomed Osei in the ward and Osei was just so happy. The members have played sooo much of a role in missionary work with helping new members and investigators. I have totally seen that on my mission as the members have welcomed everyone under their wings. Members are vital in this work!!

 

I love being a missionary. I love this work. I love this Gospel.

 

Have a great week!
