That's Pixie Dust...not snow

Reason for the title of my msg. It's getting SUPER cold and foggy and every morning we wake up and there is frost on the ground and it hangs around all day since we are in a valley. It's not snow I'm proud to say, but it threatens. Sis Funk always points out the frost as I'm driving and says 'Don't worry, it's only pixie dust' I love working with Sis Funk. She and I are a lot a like and it makes the work fun. We both don't stress (I still love you Sis Downs...or should I say Carli) we laugh, we cook, we enjoy life, and she throws marriage jokes at me with Bruder Schäffner (for you Sis Downs).

This week, I've just got a short email. Sis Funk and I are having a rockin' time in Bruck. My goal for the time I was still here is for her to be familiar with all the VIP of the area. That includes the Joint-teaches who actually come, the investigators, the most active members, and the inactives we visit in the Altenheims (old folk homes). So far, we are seeing such great success and having fun too. This week, we still need to head to Murau (2hrs away) and up to the Farm in the mountains and then we're all set. TOday, we are in Vienna to pick up Sis Funk'S VIsa. I'm not complaining one bit because that means we get to go to the famous Christmas Market. I'm excited. Tomorrow we're in Graz, and Saturday back in Vienna for an Austausch combined with the 4th Ward Thanksgiving party (we didn't realize that coordinated). We're are excited, but I'm getting nervous...this week is going to FLY BY!!!!

Reader's Digest of the week all gets summed up to the following true account. Saturday we went to visit the Grabmaiers in Unzmarkt. We get there and share the msg. She is an inactive member who believes anything ever written in any book. She is really cooky and funny...and interesting. Well, after the message we had time before the train so we all decided to play a game. She picks a game about Karma and Reincarnation. It was FUNNNY!!! The deal is that roll the dice and move to spaces then read a card with a task on it. Sis Funk got the best one....we had to hold hands and connect our energy together in Unity. Needless to say, Sis Funk and I were clutching each others hands trying not to laugh out loud. Sis Grabmaier was dead serious into it. I had a task of writing an 'angel letter' to someone the next day to make them have a great day. Sis Grabmaier got one to ask a fellow player to do an act of service for her. She picked me to help her go through her closets and get rid of stuff. Sis Funk and I 'cheated' a bit when she wasn't looking so the game would end faster (we scooted all the pieces forward bit by bit). At the end, we still had some time so we decided to do the cleaning 'task' then. We walked out of there with 3 bags of clothes bound for the donation bin and with a return appointment so Sis Grabmaier can complete her 'task' of serving her fellow players vegetarian food. All in all, it was a hilarious appointment.

Sis Downs - we got the address for that DVD-wanting-person....fakeout. We got excited as we drove up to the house because there were signs of children and teenagers at the house. We Klingel and a woman answers...she has no idea what we are talking about and does not recognize the number we were called from. We immediately called the number and they didn't answer. Sis Funk sent a txt asking for a confirmation of what town. They answered the txt with the city we were in....we called again....they didn'T answer. It's a dud! Jennifer and Wolfgang came to FHV and Priestertum....we didn'T even need to call them.

Pic 2 - That'S a Police train. How do they pull people over??? Think about that now.....
