Elder Scott Sonne~ Wiener Neustadt Austria
This week was a typical week in the Alpine (Schaibisch, österreichisch, Byrisch,Schweitzer Deutsch) Speaking Mission! (No one speaks German here), but it was a tough week.
Most of our appointments this week fell through and it was unbearably cold a couple of the days. Despite the disappointments, there is no place I would rather be!!! I am so happy to be rejected over and over and over and over and over and over and over to find one person whom I can influence for the better! It is a once in a lifetime opportunity to speak with so many people and learn from them and to hopefully teach them about the life changing influence of the gospel.
This is the greatest work that has ever been done and I am honored to be herein österreich! The lord has truly prepared people in this area to hear and accept the gospel... to make covenants with God and live in the light of Christ, under the influence of the Holy Ghost and to be on the straight and narrow path leading to the everlasting fountain of love and eternal life. We are so blessed to be the children of God. This past week I have realized that being a child of God comes with responsibility.
I have decided to live each day to be able to say I gave my best and that I couldn’t have given more and that I helped as many people as possible to be happy. I think that this will be my goal for the rest of my life.
