October 17 2011 from Austria
Dear famile und Freunde,
It has gotten very cold here in Wiener Neustadt! it was 6 degrees a couple days ago when we started out in the morning. I’m not sure what that is in American but I think its somewhere in the 40s. And it smells like snow here. It also feels much colder than that because we ride bikes in the wind... but its a good work out so its not too bad. The spirit keeps me warm.
SO this week has been very great! We set another baptismal date with a man from Kenya named Joseph. He moved to Austria 5 years ago and is 29. he has a deep relationship with God and is very excited to meet with us! He was so happy when we gave him the book of Mormon and to speak about god. Wow he is great. He kept saying that he really loved to feel the spirit and he occasionally cries when he reads the scriptures and prays! He is ready for the gospel!
Anthon Bosezky is leaving to get therapy on his legs for the next month or so and will not be here for his baptismal date. He wants time to read and to think about it. Which is good because he will feel that it is the church of god and that the book of Mormon is true. Because it is true!!! When Anthon prays, he thanks our heavenly father for sending his missionaries to him to teach him the gospel!
The week has gone by so quickly and we have been so busy iI am not even sure what we did. Oh yes, we participated in two priesthood blessings this week. Everyone is getting sick because of the cold and it was our privilege to bless two people by the priesthood and authority of God. I can really feel the love of God for the people when I participate in blessings. He is there and stands there waiting for us to choose him. He sends us scripture, the spirit, and the prophets to show us the way. It is our choice to follow them and be eternally happy or to not be eternally happy. The Church is true. Jesus is the Christ.
Bis aufs Wiedersehen,
Elder Sonne
