Week One Hundred and one (9 days left...)

Skying was so cool guys! I'm happy that everyone could be there! Except Matt. It's a bummer he had to work. But I'll see him soon. I missed your beautiful faces you glorious people. I really enjoyed it! Now we only have to wait 9 more days! If we want to plan on going back, I would love to give your the tour of as much of Germany as I know haha. We'd have to go to Hamburg, Rostock, Berlin, and a day trip down to Hof haha. (you only need a day to see stuff down here.)

Hof at Christmas
Actually, the countryside is like really cool looking down here. So much an official visit to the 'Vogtland'. But good, we'll plan on coming back to Germany. I missed the Christmas traditions we usually do. Like BAGELS! Oh my gosh I miss bagels. Can we have bagels on the Sunday morning when I'm back. Please?

The week was pretty good for us. We had p-day, and then 3 days of holiday. Germans take Christmas seriously. It is three solid days of nobody on the streets. And it is strongly discouraged to go door to door by the mission. Sooooo....I studied a lot. We deep cleaned to apartment too! That was good. On Tuesday we went to the Montgomery's and ate sausage and potato salad and played games. Then we met with Sister S and taught her and went back the the Monty's to Skype. That is when I saw you. It was such a wonderful time to see you all and Rachel too! Blessings. Wednesday we ate at Sister E's house and she made many a duck for us. Like 3 or something. With Rotkohl and Klösen. Perfect. Then we had a cool lesson with a man named A. He's the coolest man from Iraq. He wanted to be baptized into a christian church. We're going to help with that. Then he came to church on Sunday. SOLID. He really liked it. Bruder L was also there at church, which was pretty cool. We ate with the G's on Sunday, which was just a hoot. They're a funny family. It was a good week! Like seriously.

And the biggest news, Elder Donner and I will receive a new companion haha. Today actually we're picking Elder Stoddard up from Bahnhof. He's super cool and we both know him. We're going to have to show him Hof before we leave on Sunday. We're both super excited. It's be a love triangle.
