General Conference

This week was crazy. I did a ton of travel. All together about 18 hours in the train, but by golly it was fun! Sister Smith and I are again reunited! Ahh It is so great. We have just been catching up like crazy. It is really weird to think that we were both in an area without each other. haha But we are having a lot of fun and are ready to work so hard!! It is going to be a great two transfers.

Was conference not amazing??? Goodness, It is like Christmas for us as missionaries. I loved how much it talked about Love. Love is seriously the key to everything. I think my favorite talk was by Richard G. Scott, or President Monson. I've realized how important Love is on a mission. If you don't have love for your companion, your area, your investigators, a mission is just not fun. But when you love everything with your heart, that is when the miracles occur and the fun happens. I love being a missionary!

We have been meeting a ton of YSA age group potentials lately. I love it. On the way to Salzburg to pick up Sister Smith we met a group of about 7 American students here on a study abroad. They knew about the mormons already and they had friends on missions. There were a few of them that had sincere interest in meeting with us, and we are meeting with them tomorrow! I am excited to see what happens. The YSA in our ward our incredible. They are the best member missionaries and are always inviting friends and less actives to church. I love them so much!

As for our investigators, we are having to start from scratch. All of them have fallen off the face of the earth and so we are out to find more. Sister Smith and I have high hopes and we've experienced miracles once together, and we are ready to experience them again!!  We are the dream team:)

I think back on my time in Singen, and what a wonderul blessing it was for me to serve there. It was hard, but I learned how to be a true missionary. I learned how to find people. I learned how to start from nothing. I learned how to love the work even when it was going wrong. It is funny, as I was in Singen, I never thought our numbers were good enough, and that we were successful, but after being in a new zone I have come to realized how good we were doing. It is crazy to see that. So I know, if we were able to teach a lot in a small place like Singen, we can find tons of people here in Graz. Graz is going to explode:)

Well I love you guys!!!! Have a great week!
