21 November 2011 Seventh Letter from Austria

Greetings from Wiener Neustadt, 21 November 2011

The people are more in a hurry and don’t really want to talk because of the cold... but in the train I think they are about the same which I think is actually the best time to contact, when I have time to make some jokes and get their trust!
We meet with the ward mission leader every week. And there is a quasi program.
We have gotten a few referrals from members. There are more in this ward than most others... the members are so great!!!!

SO this week we found a person who asked us to be baptized again haha... her name is Holly Yolanda Deandra Doyley... but she goes by kiki! She is ridiculously amazingly prepared... she commits herself to do things and to pray about things and then says she will report them to us... and she came to church then stayed after for a little get together for a baby blessing wow she is ready and I think we are going to baptize her on the 25th of December... haha ya the people celebrate Christmas on the 24th bigger here though, so it’ll be perfect! I’m really excited and she says she is ready herself... I love the work here and it is really clicking now and people are coming back, like Anthon Bosezky from therapy and things are just working!!!

I have to go. I love you and have a great time together this week!
