Not too much happened this last week. We went outside every day and tried to find some people to teach. Nothing really too new. We didn't find many people who expressed any interest in the gospel, sadly. It was very cold this last week, too. It was okay during the day, but as it got dark ... man did it get cold. It was around -20°C here this last week during the evenings. It was about -10 to -12°C during the day. Then it snowed a lot this past week. That was cool! The snow is fun. It’s fun when it turns to ice, but it's also dangerous because I fell on my butt a couple of times this last week (lol). It was pretty funny. Luckily it wasn't in front of anybody because that would have been embarrassing. Only my companion had a good laugh, but he fell on his butt, too, so then I had a good laugh. We didn't have 5 eating appointments this last week. We only had three. Two of them fell through. That's okay, though. It's all good. The members here in Salzburg are pretty chill. We met some cool families.

[In response to a comment from home:] It’s very rare when you get to extend in my mission. It’s really hard to extend because of visa issues. Germans and Europeans can extend without any problems, really. My mission, as well, is going to have a hard time training all of the new missionaries coming in. Especially with Sisters. We don't have enough Sisters to train all of the Sisters coming. The problem with all of the Elders coming, is finding places for them to live. It's very hard to find apartments over here. It's going to be exciting! Sadly, I'm going home when it all really begins. Oh well. Can't do anything about it. It's all good.
