Week 77- "In der Weihnachtsbäkeri"

Well, the second Christmas on my mission has come and gone. It was awesome to be able to spend these past 3 days with members. Here in Germany, they celebrate Christmas on the 24th that’s their big day, then the 25th and 26th are the first and second days of Christmas so they celebrate all of those as well! The members here took care of us and we are way too much food.

24th we were at the Markaj’s and ate Raclette a traditional meal for Christmas here. 25th we were at our ward mission leaders house and had a Köln ward legend there. Sister Huhn who is 96, she has awesome war stories and then 26th we were at the Nowaks :)

So every day this week was basically a party and now today is p day. Last Friday I went to Solingen and interviewed all 3 of their baptismal candidates and they were all baptized on Saturday so that was awesome! Was a good experience to see all of those ward members again and see how excited they were to have some baptisms in the ward.

Next week I will be in a new area with a new companion. Should be my last area on my mission. Crazy to think just 4 months left. It’s gonna fly.

Wish you all a good leap into 2019! Thanks for all the love and Christmas cards. See ya on the other side on 2019

Tschau.
