Our Sunday in Vienna was lovely. We had breakfast in the hotel, then John figured out how to find a train to take us to the neighborhood where the Vienna Leopoldstadt Ward meets. We were there early and visited with some of the good members before church. An older lady in the chapel was playing a small harp and we thought of Claire (this is the building she attended when she lived here).
The Christmas program was great. Lots of music and small groups singing. Youth on the front row told the Christmas story while illustrations (from a book) were shown on a big screen. Hymns were sung to illustrate the story. It all came together nicely. The chapel was full to the brim. Someone the missionaries taught was baptized yesterday. One Sister was going home tomorrow (her parents were here to pick her up). Visited with them afterwards. It was all so nice.
Afterwards we decided to walk back to our hotel through the mist and rain. It was peaceful and relaxing after the busy Christmas Markets we visited yesterday.
