Can March be here already?

I'm not very good at keeping this blog up-to-date! It has been a month since I posted anything. We had a great month in February, even some warmish weather, but it didn't last long. The woodpeckers, though, are finding bugs to eat in the trees in the woods near our apartment. We hear them a lot and the sound of their drilling echoes through the area. We traveled by train to Vienna twice and to Munich once for zone conference and other conferences in February. The conference in Munich was for all the senior missionaries in the mission (32 of them--that is a lot of seniors in one mission). It was wonderful to meet the others and have that training together. Our group of young adults dwindled in size a little during February because the Fall semester finished at the end of January and then they have the month of Feb. off and start the next semester in March. Some of them went home, or traveled, and some live/work here so we still held FHE and Institute. We are doing well, for the most part. Elder Jeppson fainted on the train on the way to Vienna (while I was visiting the WC) and it really scared the 2 elders. We worked together to get him out flat, the elders gave him a blessing and he was fine by the time we needed to get off the train 40 minutes later. We are being watched over and we are very grateful for that and for the opportunity to serve here.
