Lieber Familie!

I can't believe it's almost Christmas! I'm so excited to see you tomorrow! 3pm I will be skyping from the mission office and I will use the skype account you set up for me. Thank you!

That was the first real talk I have given here. My first Sunday they were going to have me give a talk, but we ran out of time so it was just a testimony. But I play the organ pretty regularly. Sometimes I don't have much of a heads up. On Saturday we went to the baptism for one of the Elder's investigators. I show up and find my name on the program, well actually I found out when Bishop started the service and announced I would be playing. Haha good thing my German was good enough to understand that. One of our investigators came, he so badly wants to be baptized, but his family is not ok with it. Please pray for him. As I was talking with him. he said that he could picture his own baptism with his children there supporting him. He is an amazing example of faith and trusting in the Lord's time.

Right now there are 2 sets of sisters (Turner & Hansen and Miesbauer & Ahrenholtz), 1 set of elders (Beck & Taylor), and 2 senior couples the Snows and Beesleys. Oh and Pres and Sis Kosak are technically in our ward as well. I love the ward here. Yesterday we ate with the Ruetz family. So much fun! After dinner Pres Ruetz played the piano and we all sang Christmas songs, I tried to send a short video, but it didn't work, I'll try again next week. And then I played the Savior Redeemer of my Soul, Fleur Ruetz played the violin and Elder Beck sang, we'll probably be doing that one at church next week.

One tradition in Germany I think I'll bring back is that Christmas is not just one day, it's three days.
I'm running out of time so I'm going to cut it.

Love you!

See ya tomorrow!
