Happy Thanksgiving! we just did normal missionary work on Thanksgiving... if we would have had an investigator to bring to the Institut classes in Tiergarten we would have been able to have a Thanksgiving celebration with turkey and other American stuff... but we didn't. haha.

In the last week we have had a lot of good things happen. We have a couple of new investigators that look like they will make a lot of progress in the coming weeks and months! One of them is a young guy (probably around 18 or so) who we found going door to door! He reminds me a lot of a member in the ward so we will be bringing the member sometime for a joint teach! super cool. We also found a cool lady from Kenya who we talked to about the Book of Mormon and we gave her one in Swaheeleeeeeee :) so that was fun :) we also talked to a guy from Lebanon who wants a Book of Mormon in Arabic! it's excellent stuff. I love seeing the gospel be spread in so many different languages to so many different lands! :D

I will be spending the christmas time with a bunch of different families in Spandau. Christmas day will be spent with Schwester Doudou. She has a son on a mission in England and we will definitely Skype from her hause :) She is super cool and we will have an awesome Christmas with her!

Nikolai Lenin I believe is the name of the statue/bust that we were sitting on. cool, right? haha. I don't know who it is or anything, but that's what my companion said.

I will have to send my package too! ahhh it is so long overdue! And in it will be an SD card full of photos 1000 or so :) haha. I labeled most of them...

You saw Jake Potter?! haha. ahh that's crazy. in which D.I. did you see him? in Utah?

I guess I will see if we can get the Christmas programs recorded so I can send them back to y'all. oh, and I say y'all now. it's a wierd thing to develop while coming to Germany, but I've done it.

Well... until next week! I am loving it here! I do miss the mountains though...
haha.
