Short and simple
This week, on Nov 11th was Martini Tag (St. Martin's day) where the kids walk around with Lanterns and sing songs. Well, we found out what the adults do on that day....eat Martini Gansl (Austrian word for Goose). Schwester Bein from the branch wanted to take us out for something nice since Sis Downs is going home (this wed). Let's just say, we ate at noon, about 9:00pm when we came home, we were STILL STUFFED!!! The next morning after study, we were still full. I have never had the 'Thanksgiving feeling' but now I can sympathize. We were stuffed! This is what the meal consisted of
1\2 roasted, honey-glazed goose
walnut and poppyseed knödel (dumplings)
cooked cinnamon red cabbage
sweet roasted chestnuts
baked apple filled with cranberries
1\2 Liter Apfelschorle (sparkling apple juice)
LARGE slice of apple pistachio\pumpkin seed cake
We also got transfer calls Friday. For the next 2 weeks, I will be serving with Sister Funk from some city in Idaho. She has been out for 5 months and will just LOVE Bruck! I met her when I came down to Bruck and she has served in a car area\tiny branch before so she knows just how to work with the people. It will be a stressful week making sure she meets all the VIPs and that they trust her.
Manuela has now offiially been a member for a year. I found her and now I'm back for the anniversary. Her birthday was yesterday...and Parviz's too.
Not much else noteworthy passierte during the week. I'm excited for the next weeks, Sis Funk and I are going to rock it down here. Today, we are spending the day in Graz, tomorrow to Klagenfurt for District meeting, and then Tues night to Vienna to pick up Sister Funk (Sis Downs leaves to München Wed morning at 6 so we have to go down the night before).
I will keep Grandma Lind in my prayers and hope she gets to go home soon....and doesn't cause the Doctors too much trouble.
Dad - what treats did you want me to bring home? I forget... Also, can we go to the Temple on the way home from the airport? I'm in for the surprise Christmas package to Chile.
Roommates - what is the name of the complex we will be living at?
