So in 5 days we will have been on our mission 2 months. Wow!. We send Elder Graff home this Thursday, and he can hardly believe that it is about over. He is a great young man. Today, he bore his last Testimony in the ward. Elder Storrer could not believe how many young women adore him. He has a wonderful smile and personality,.
Speaking of the young women, there are so many great wonderful young women in the JAE program. Some are return missionaries. Some are 28-29 years of age. They are very faithful in the church. Their greatest desire is to find a young worthy priestholder to marry and raise a family in the gospel. They are beautiful clean and wholesome. But the worthy young men are so scarce. We saw that last Sunday evening when they had their Single Ward's sacrament meeting which only happens every so often. They are assigned in groups, not necessarily from our stake as they came from as far away as Munich, Germany area. They came by train and bus and car. Some arrived a little late because of it, so they have a class the first hour.
It was Salzzburg's turn to host. The request was chili. So chili they got, Texan style with a little of Austrian tossed in--whole kernal corn.
It is very interesting because for years after the war they refused to eat corn. Now they eat it in everything.
I am not crazy about the texture of corn in chili, but at least the flavor blends. Well we were told spicy but not hot. Fortunately I bought a bottle of Tabasco Sauce. Over 1/2 was gone. And one young man told me that he loves it hot. It was plenty hot anyway.
We also have a sweetheart, just like a daughter who takes piano and English lessons in our apartment. She is from Mongolia. We also feed her supper that evening. She stays extra time and visits. I don't think she likes to go back to her lonely
