Europe: part 6

Landshut:

Brian loved this place so much, So I will let him write about this day. Brian:  Church today! Lots of the members remembered me, which was awesome. We went to church and brother Auras (the branch president) told me I would be speaking/bearing my testimony.. in a small branch they dont pass up fresh blood:) So, I got to bear my testimony in German again:) Michelle had a hard time, as she couldn't understand the entire time. After church we had spatzle (doughy noodles).  Then, a few of the Aurus boys and I tossed a plane out the 2nd story window a couple of times.  

Michelle and I went for a bike ride. 

Michelle kept falling :( We saw sister fritz, one of the few converts I was able to see, and an amazing woman. She is actually working on being able to be a temple worker! Michelle had a hard time again with the language barrier. 

We tried to stop by on two other people I taught who sadly weren't there. We spent some time in the  city.  Pictures are worth a thousand words:

St. Martins Church in Landshut

After touring the city, we biked back and met the Auras' other friends who were also from America and just stopping in. We had a small meal and then headed to the train station. It was fun and nice to get to know brother Auras better.

Worst night of the trip: 

From Landshut, we decided to head back on a train to Munich then catch an overnight train to Venice, Italy.  We bought tickets about 5 days prior and actually splurged to get an actual bed on the train ride to Venice.  We got to Munich at about 8:30 and we were told the train would be leaving at 9.  When we looked on the train board for our train, it was not listed.  Brian was listening to an announcer who said There was some sort of blockage on the tracks, so our reserved train would not be going that night.  Lucky us, they had replacement busses instead, NOT! There was crazy confusion everywhere trying to load three big busses with 2 going to Rome and the 1 going to Venice. We finally got on our bus, and of course, it was hotter than blazes on it. Then when we finally started moving, the "air" was like the breath of someone whispering to you.  

I was okay but Brian gets really hot really fast. To try to make everyone on the busses happy, they handed out free beer for those who wanted it..  We stopped for a half hour break at about 3 am.  Brian went outside to try and cool off, got as cold as he could in the breeze.  He said we were in the alps by that point.
