Merry Christmas! :D :D Things here are so radical. We asked a member for christmas music, and she filled up a flash drive that we are going to be using for the next month FULL of awesome German christmas music!

We had a Zone conference just last week with a white elephant gift exchange. I gave someone the Disney Princess CD, and I got a couple of Ritter Sport chocolate bars :) It was awesome. I don't really know how the other Elder reacted to getting the Cd..... but that's okay :P haha. I would have recieved it gladly. there are some pictures here in the Mission website  http://germanyberlinmission2012-15.blogspot.de/

This week has really been rather boring other than that... This next week we have a lot of appointments scheduled with members and investigators. We also have the Christmas Program for the ward this week. That is pretty cool. Elder Marshall, my companion, keeps on getting invited to play for people. He is an amazing piano player and so he has been invited to accompany our ward for a ton of songs.

We also have been invited to sing with the Stake choir for the Stake Christmas Program. I love that our Mission is so in tune with the power of music! The choir desperately needs male voices... so we were invited! it's super cool.

Hahaha the video from the little boys was hilarious! I loved it. Shawn was wearing my watch... and they both are so much bigger?! what?! hahaha. 8 months and they grow up that fast?! that's ridiculous.  I can now understand how crazy it was to see us grow up. so fast!

I hope I get the package before Christmas.... I think it should work out. I am looking forward to seeing you all in a couple of weeks! Happy holidays! I will take some pictures of the Christmas markets for you and send them in my next email! :)

Liebe Grüße,
Elder Braden Thorkelson
