Gemeinde Wien Zwei
In Vienna, there are five LDS wards which comprise the stake: the first, second, third, international, and the fifth. We have always attended the second ward, which meets in the building next to the park side of the Prater. We were supposed to attend the first ward this time, and were planning on it, but our children put their collective feet down and said "no more new people. we've been to the second ward, and we're going to the second ward." We've attended the second ward. I feel very protective of it, having seen it periodically over the last few years. It has grown and it is filled with people of every age group and demographic. There are plenty of young families and this time there are new couples with babies as well. There was a new baptism our first week in Vienna. It warms the cockles of the McFarlands' hearts to see a European ward that is strong and functional and growing, having left so much shoe leather and sweat here ourselves as missionari
