District meeting, etc.

We had district meeting in Dornbirn, Austria this week. Two of the elders are being transferred so it was a goodbye lunch as well. When asked what they would like, one said: "Meat!" and then "Chicago Italian Beef." Sister B makes some amazing lunches. The meeting was incredible. The elders are really strong in the spirit and have a maturity you would not expect from 18-21 year old young men. They also have a lot of fun together.


These first three pictures are of the mountains as we were going to Austria.

Yeah, I know, we have mountains like this in Utah. We miss them. (But they do not have monster marshmallows like this, though!)

Elders Morey and Moon

Elders Thompson and Sumsion

Here are a few pictures on the way home. We have been trying to get some good pictures of this particular countryside since we have been here. Enjoy!

And last, this really has nothing to do with the district meeting, but they are interesting pictures, I think.

We got stuck in traffic on our narrow major highway. The van in front of us was a "Renault Traffic."

Lastly, they are really into selling squashes and pumpkins, but not generally for halloween. Halloween is not much of a holiday here. They usually cook the pumpkins and squash.

Squash and pumpkins are collectively called "Kürbisse."
