Kirche

Today, (as I write this on Sunday) we went to Kirche. We are in the Wien 3 ward, and the building is fairly close- it is in our district. We only need to take the bus a little way to get there. People there were very nice, and they all seemed to know that we were coming. When we arrived we were directed in German to a classroom. A little unsure still, we found two sister missionaries, (both from the states), and they were able to direct us in English.
We started with Relief Society, but we understood very little, only catching words here and there that we knew. Our Sunday School class was given in English this week, just for us, as we made up 7 of the 10 students in the class. Our teacher was Peruvian, and his German is hard to understand because of his accent; next week he is teaching in German, and I doubt we will understand any great amount. Sacrament Meeting wasn’t as hard to understand because it was testimony meeting, and even if you couldn’t understand the way one person spoke, there were others that you could understand.
We did find some cute guys at church today, three of them, actually. One was German and two were American. Elizabeth finds it highly ironic that we traveled all the way to Europe and the cutest boys here are American. Sadly, all three are missionaries and are highly off-limits. The ward has six missionaries in all, four elders and two sisters.
Overall Kirche was great. It has been Elizabeth’s favorite thing thus far, as it has been the place she has been able to understand the most.
