another week

We had some more appointments made out and they fell out....but hey no point in getting a bad attitude! I think one of the reasons they send elders out on missions is to prepare them for being rejected by girls when they get home :) But anyway, we have been doing alot of member work, as well as just plain finding (dooring, and street contacting).

We did have a cool experience as we were dooring an appartment building in Kapfenberg. We had doored about half of it and finaly one of the people said, "Hey, you're the Mormons right? I have one of those books!" So we went in and talked a little more about it with them. They are romanian and their german is not very good so it was hard to communicate and they basically talked the whole time, but at least we were able to bear our testimonies and set up a return appointment! It is so interesting here with the amount of "Auslanders" we meet with. I think that word means foreigner in english....anyway, they are all very humble and accepting of religion. The only bad part is the ward members dont accept them. The branch only wants Austrians, and the only people that will listen to us are the foreigners. My personal oppinion on the matter is that the only way we will be able to bring Austrians into the branch is through the members themselves.

 A little check list that Elder Spencer made for us : Just if you could do anything for me it would be the following; 1. dont cry. 2. big banners and cheering and jumping and balloons and confetti, are embarrassing. (at least at the airport) 3. dont forget that I am still a twenty year old. I stink. Don't clean up 100% of the time and yeah. So if you are expecting some perfecto.....then wait for Ry to get home :)  Goodbye to a good friend Brother Baumann  Last pday activity at the Porsche Muesum  (the first Porsche made )  missionary fun , trapped in the bedroom ...again  heartfelt love from the Ellwangen primary the Ellwangen District And this wraps it up ! well , I love you  see ya on Friday , For the Last time,  ELder Spencer

 A real live PORSCHE!  Schwabisch Hall  apartment view from Aalen , Germany   Church was good. I felt the spirit really strongly. Probably more that any other testimony meeting on my mission. It wasnt anything special that was said, but still powerful. There is a couple in the ward who recently had their first child, and she bore her testimony and said that children give us so much joy, and they are unbelievably dirty! haha Everyone laughed, but then she said that, that is just how our Heavenly Father thinks about us. He find so much joy in us, and when we get dirty, through sin, he provides us with the best possible cleaning supply. The Atonement of Jesus Christ. I know that is true. We have a loving Heavenly Father who wants us to make the right choices, but when we mess up, just like a little child, he doesn't give up, he helps us to get clean, and learn from those mistakes.                 The final companion Elder Georgiev from Bulgaria
