Wow, I can‘t
believe it actually snowed in Germany! Last
year it didn’t know snow where I am now, and we were able to get three or four inches
in a day! Crazy things are happening! It is super cold here though ... I will not be
sad to see summer in Germany, to be completely honest (haha). On Sunday, because
of the snow, our bishop in the American military ward told us that we would only
have sacrament, and that was his gift to us (haha). Sister Eschenmann didn’t see
how that was a ‘gift’, and that made me laugh. But, it was a blessing because one
of the new members brought a friend to church that was a nonmember. She
looked at our website and is interested in learning more about the church. She is German, but speaks perfect English, so
that’s great. I am really excited to
meet with her and am so proud of the ward here because without them, missionary
work is impossible because you can’t proselyte in military areas.

Makeshift window seal snowman ... made with a cheese nose and meat eyes!
I am so
grateful that I was able to Skype home for Christmas. My mom says she’s
grateful where we live in a day and age where we can Skype and email ... Makes it a lot easier to be
so far away.
Merry Christmas Skype with family ... yay!!
The best part
of Christmas, I think, was being able to watch FROZEN (haha). But, it was pretty
dang great. Our whole district went to a
member's house to watch it and they made us breakfast burritos, which were
wonderful! I am pretty sure I’ve never
eaten so much in my life than I have from the 24-26th! It was insane! When we would get home each
night, I pretty much went into a food coma and slept straight through the nights. That’s called satisfaction right
there. We got to
go onto the commissary last week and it was so great! It was fun to see so much American food in
one place. I wish I could have just bought one of everything. At least I know what I’m doing when I get
back to the states ... eating (haha)!
Ozdemeer's for Christmas - so much food!
Food Comas!

The
work is continuing hard here in Germany. I am way excited to see what
the next couple weeks bring us with investigators. Members are so
important to us and they are trying so hard, as well, for success. It is
really great here.
Well, I hope you all had a very Merry Christmas, and I hope you have a Happy New Year!
Tschuss!
Sister Brown
