23 January 2012...Fifteenth Letter from Austria


23 January 2012
Wiener Neustadt, Austria
The investigators are progressing!!!...Elisabeth will be baptized on the 5th of February and Robert Kraftl was baptized yesterday!!!! My companion, Elder Larsen and I were the witnesses!!
So cool!
Kiki, who we thought had dropped us and then the spirit comforted me in this moment, came back and said she definitely wanted to be baptized. I told her that the Lord normally gives us answers through the Holy Ghost and that is how he speaks with us. She then said she really felt the spirit right in that moment that i said that!!! ahh, it was cool to see that the investigators are feeling it when we speak through the spirit because I felt strongly that I should say that...
Oh and another experience in following the spirit...We were teaching Elisabeth and we had planned to talk about tithing, but the spirit was really strong when my mind rested upon asking her about her family. I asked her what her family was like and I had suspected that her mother had died....She had died and I then felt that we should mention baptisms for the dead but as she was talking, she mentioned that she was planning on doing her work in the temple during the summer!!! The spirit is sooooo cool!!! There are many other stories I could tell about following the spirit, but here were just a few. I love you and have a great week!


23 January 2012 Hey mother !!!!
Yes i have been out of town for a while!!! my goodness! It doesn't really seem like it has been so long ahh!
So Robert Kraftl was baptized yesterday!!! that was so cool! the spirit was so strong and really testified of the truthfulness of what happened. I am so grateful to be able to be led and guided by that member of the godhead in my life!
elisabeth is steadily moving towards being ready for baptism and I am super excited for her!!! ahh. This place is like the land of bountiful... there are so many members ready to help us teach and 4 or 5 people are coming to church weekly, which is a big change from 1 per month in waiblingen!!! i am so blessed!
