IT'S SNOWING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It started snowing Wed night, but we only got about 1 inch. Then it tried to snow Fri afternoon, but everything melted during study Sat morning. Then, it started snowing again last night and it hasn'T stopped. We've got about 7 inches and it's still coming down. We can'T see the mountains anymore, but it'S still beautiful.
Monday - we went to the Christkindl Markt for a cuople of hours. THAT brought back memories. I saw candle pyramids with the fan at the top, little smoking figurines (the good smelling ones with the green triangle scented wick), wooden ornaments, angels, smelled roasted nuts and Glühwein (that stuff stinks), and lots of suspenders (that must be the new style---Just for grandpa).
........................AND.................I got my hair cut......a whole 7cm gone. My hair now reaches down to my chin and is super cute. My neck misses it a little, but I really like it.
Thanksgiving - We spent Thanksgiving in München for MIssions Tour with Elder and SIster Texiera. It was a great day full of learning and fun. We had to leave Salzburg at 6 in order to get there so we slept on the train. I got some really beautiful pictures of the sunrise and the snow. We had a 2 hour lunchbreak where the ward members served us Turkey soup with rolls (it had the makings of a real Thanksfiving dinner - turkey, vegetables, pasta (wheat), and gravy (broth). It wasn't the same, but it was fun. After missions tour we had to rush to Bahnhof to catch our train (which we ended up missing) so we had an extra hour and a half to kill at the Bahnhof. Elder and Sister Mangum (Senior couple) treated us to BUrger King for dinner and THAT was it. My big thanksgiving dinner consisted of Chicken Nuggets, fries and a bottle of water. We all sat around the table and chatted and ate so it might as well have been home. My companion still doesn'T understnad the significance of the day nor does she think it'S worth celebrating.
Friday - I'Ve been asked to accompany the Christmas Fireside for the ward so we went to Freilassing around 4 (just over the border in Germany) to a member's house so she could give me the music. We ended up being there for 3 hours practicing and then ate Abendbrot with her family and they drove us home. It was a great day and really got me in the mood for Christmas.
Sunday - We and the Elders were invited to the Schubert family's house for dinner. She's American, married an Austrian at BYU-HAwaii and has lived here for 14 years, now has 4 children ages 15-7. We ate dinner and had a lot of fun. THen, the ward fireside participants had rehearsal so we loaded up and went back to Freilassing. There, we had a First Advent party and practiced the music. I'm so ready for Christmas!!!
Not too much has happened this week as far as our investigators go. We met with Frau Lugonjic (baptismal date Dec 12) and laid the stop-smoking program out for her. It's a program written by a missionary in the 70s that, when followed exactly, will eliminate smoking in 7 days. We're excited to see how it goes.
CHRISTMAS CALL HOME - - We can call on the 25th. I need to get a phone card as we will be calling from our cell phone. OR, we are allowed to webcam. On my laptop is a program called Skype. Please open it up and tell me what address is set up. I'm pretty sure it's my oakleybear one but I need the actual address to get things set up here. I will get a phonecard just in case that doesn'T work. I'd really like to coordinate the call with Tay so we can maybe conference call all together.
We get transfer calls this week and since it'S always iffy whether we stay or go, please send any packages to the Mission office. I still haven't received the one sent to Bruck. It hadn't arrived by the time the Sisters went to Missions TOur in VIenna so I didn'T get it this week when we went. We have Zone Conferences in mid-Dec so anything that arrives will be brought to us. I'd rather get it that way then have to stress about it going to another apt. At least until we find out what's going on with transfers.
Thank you both for the sacrifices you make so I can serve a mission...aka heat. I'm realizing more and more what I need to do to be worthy of those sacrifices.
LOTS OF LOVE

MOM - I will try and take some pictures with directions on different ways to tie scarves.I'm glad you're finally wearing the scarf. I love scarves as it eliminates the need to wear a necklace...AND it keeps necks warm in snowy winter....AND they look good on anyone. Salzburg is sizewise like Waynesboro, including the smaller boroughs.
DAD - heard your team got lucky this time. 'NOugh said. Take good care of your wrist. As I have learned, if you don't care for the injury now, it WILL slow healing if you injure it again. As far as that goes, my ankle is finally strong enough to go without the brace.
