Hallo!!!
Sorry for not writing last week. This week was really awesome. Germans celebrate three days of Christmas. The first one is the biggest celebration and that is on Christmas Eve. It is called Heilige Abend. Sister Garcia and I spent this day with our branch präsidents family. We had a very typical German Christmas. Duck, potatoes, soup... We sang songs and the kids opened their presents. The ward got Sister Garcia and I matching gloves. It was a very classy and fun experience. At the end of the night, I played some songs on my violin with the branch präsidents daughter on the piano.
Christmas day was spent getting things organized and the Elders making us curry for lunch. We then went to a members house to skype my amazing family. It was awesome! I miss them so much! But! I love doing this work too :)
Sister Garcia and I saw many amazing miracles this weekend. We had a new investigator (Arnest) come to church on Sunday. We went to Muemmelmannsberg (one of the areas that we work in) an we saw a investigator that we lost contact with a few months ago, his name is Kevin, he missed us so much so he gave us his Mom's phone number and we are going to try and to start visiting them again.
Another thing we do as missionaries is teach a English classes at the church on Tuesday nights and a German class on Wednesday night each week. We are hoping that our new investigator Arnest will start attending the German class. (Prayers please for Arnest!) :)
Another miracle these past few weeks is we have seen a dramatic change in the Branch. The people are becoming so inviting and loving. They embraced our new investigator like he was already a part of the family.
We have a lot to get done this week! Sorry the email is so short! But I hope you all have a happy new year!! I hear the Germans get a little crazy with celebrating so we have been instructed to be in by 6pm and leave at the earliest 1pm the next day. haha! Love you all!!!
