AUtumn in AUstria is AUsome

Halloween package received!! It arrived Oct 31st on the dot, but we were in Vienna and couldn"t get it. Then, the next day was a holidaz and the Post was closed so we got it Nov 2nd. It was amaying! Thank zou so much. Sis Downs and I tasted a piece of everzthing and then had to set it aside and talk about it, because everzthing tasted so weird to us...not what we remember at all. It was a weird experience. Guess we can't live on amaying european REAL chocolate forever. Oh well! It was a good booster seat back into the real world. Sis Downs goes home next Wed. THAT is komisch enough anzwazs.

I must apologize in advance when my typing looks funnz. I've gotten so used to the european keyboard and the computer I am using is american and it's messing with mz brain. It took me about 4 min to find the ' Sis Downs had a great time listening to my struggles. NOTE the y and the z are the biggest problem because thez are switched internally on the keyboard, but the letters are printed european.

We had Dazlight Savings last Sundaz and it was glorious to have that extra hour of sleep after we"d been running\travelling around like plucked chickens for more than three weeks straight. We slept like dead people that night. The onlz problem is, now it gets blackdark at around 4>30 so we have to plan fixed appointments then because when it|s dark, NOT A SOUL will open or answer the door.

I am officially the designated driver as of mid=october. Not sure I mentioned that to you all. It's fun to drive on the Autobahn!!!! Not so much fun on the pathways they call two-way streets.

We had an Ausstellung...street display, that's the word...on Saturday and all 14 Elders came from Vienna to our little branch to help out. It was fantastic!!! The branch was completelz tickled to have so many missionaries caring about them. It was a great day and we got a few numbers and appointments. Testimony meeting yesterdaz was all about the fact that the whole citz of Bruck was probably contacted 6 or 7 times. People had even started keeping a card in their pocket to hold up as defense when yet another missionary attempted to contact them 'I got one already' thez would shriek.

I learned to play the harmonica since I came back to Bruck! It's really fun! An old man in the branch is teaching me Home on the Range. It's funny when he sings along. Mom and Dad, please locate that old harmonica we used to have in the piano bench. I intend to keep this skill up. It's fun!!!

It's weird to hear the stories about the Primarz kids at home...I FEEL SO OLD. All of those now walking and talking kids, I babysat as infants or held as newborns and toddlers. I do NOT like that one bit. Couldn't they just be in a box till I came back. Not cool!

Dad = good luck with the campainging stuff. Glad you're not running this time though. Would you ask about if I have to report to the High Council when I get home. Sis Downs and I weren't sure if we do as Sisters or if it's only a Priesthood duty. Keine Ahnung!

Taylor - remind me to slap you silly when you get home!! If you don't remember why, then please read that little tag to me in your email from last week.......
