Quickie before the Outie

We're heading to Graz today for Pday!!!!!!!!!

Friday, got a letter from Stiegelmeiers and Connie Mann at Interviews with President Miles.

Saturday, I got to go back to Vienna for a baptism. Blessing (Young Nigerian woman who can'T read or write...has cute little girl). Long story short.....Baptism suppose to start at 4:30...she wasn't allowed off work....5:30pm whole ward trying to give the person driving her, directions to the church...5:45pm lost cell phone contact....6:00pm still no contact, Bishop Jovero decides just to reschedule baptism and have everyone leave....6:01pm Blessing walks in. Sis Downs and I had to leave to catch a train at 6:00pm so when I saw her walk in, I started crying knowing that we couldn'T stay or else we'd get home too late. President and Sis Miles were there and he just turned to me and said 'you know, I have the power to let you stay...want to hang around for this baptism?'....bawling at this point. I could've hugged him, BUT I settled with Sis Miles (good substitute). The baptism was BEAUTIFUL! Blessing was SOOOOOOOOOOO happy to see me. I made her a card using pictures so she could 'read'. I drew an eye, a heart, and a little sketch of her and Favor (her 2 yr old). She started crying when she read it at the top of her lungs. We got home at 10:28pm (bedtime is 10:30 so we weren't schwarz). Wonderfully spiritual day. LOVED IT

Sunday, Pres and Sis Miles came to Bruck branch for church. The branch LOVED them and it was good for President to see the branch before we leave because then he can really make the best decision as to what'S going to happen to this place in a month.

We will only be in Bruck one day this week. Here is our schedule.................Mon - Graz Pday and visitng our Graz members, Tues - Klagenfurt for District meeting...half day in Bruck, Wed, in Bruck, Thurs-Sat in München for Sister's Conference, Sunday - in Bruck, Mon - in Vienna, Tues - In Graz for District meeting. CRAZY!!!!!! The trains have become our second home.

Next Monday - ZONE PDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!! We'Re going to Vienna for a sport'S\game day. Sis Downs and I are in charge of organizing who does what for food.
