Christmas in Germany

It is such an amazing experience to be spending christmas in Germany! I never thought that anything like this would ever happen to me, to be in such a beautiful place with such an awesome companion, so far away, away from family and friends on one of my favorite holidays. It is crazy. It is so so wonderful!! so many wonderful experiences that I will remember for the rest of my life! hopefully. 

Gliencke

I am leaving my first home in Germany. Gliencke has done me good!

 I have had so many amazing experiences and learned so many things that have brought me closer to my Savior Jesus Christ. I am so sad to be leaving all of the wonderful people and the loving ward. It really is like a home to me! it is so sad leaving my companion and best friend! It was an amazing 13 weeks of my life, becoming so close and learning so much from Sister Hahn!

 On the other hand, I love change, I am really excited for the adventure, for the slightly predictable, but yet so very unknown future. I have faith that it will be an amazing change. I am excited to see new places and work with new people. I know that the Lord is with me in all of my journeys. 

Brandenburger Tor!

Peace

The gospel brings so me much peace. I am so happy to be able to study and teach and learn all day long about such an amazing topic. I find myself so happy all the time, and it is a really good kind of happy, a deep down pure, full of joy happy! I love Germany more and more everyday I walk out side my apartment door and feel the humid fall air. I am so grateful for this opportunity I have to serve in Berlin!

Ich habe Berlin so viel lieb!!!

 We went to the East Side Gallery this week, and saw the remains of the wall. It was so amazing, I absolutely loved it!

Around town

This is my neighborhood. this is wear I live. I have been here for a long time, but I am still finding really pretty new scenes that I appreciate more and more every day. In German, the sky is called der Himmel, but that also means heaven, I love it because the sky really does look like heaven all the time! the big fluffy white clouds, and the deep clear blue sky. I love it so much!

I eat a pretzel just about every day! there is a good bakery next to the bahn station that we are at a lot. and the pretzels are always fresh and soft. I love them! 

Companionships

I am so grateful for all of the friendships that I am building on my mission. It is such a wonderful time in life to work with amazing people and get really close to them. I learn so much from the people that I am around, and love it so much!

Its a little bit late, but I am so so excited to welcome sister Hahn to the beautiful city of Glienicke!! We have already served together for a few weeks now, and she is so awesome! I am learning so much from her, and we are just having a blast!

after Sister Schöpf left me for a couple weeks, I got to see her again for her last weekend in Berlin! It was such a fun reunion! I am going to miss her!
