1. Transfer calls came and they are ripping me apart from my beloved Zwickau and sending me to Elmshorn! It's the complete opposite side of the mission (on the North Sea!), completely different culture, language and everything! I'm really excited and I've heard great things, but I'm very very VERY sad to leave Zwickau.
2. I said the opening prayer in church on Sunday, and Sis. Jähnert came up to me afterward and told me she thought one of the members was speaking! I SOUNDED LIKE A GERMAN! Man, I'm so grateful to my Heavenly Father who is helping me learn the language so quickly.
3. We finally made an appt. with Frau Scherpe! She is super cute and totally asks all of the questions missionaries love to hear. She will actually be my last appointment in Zwickau on Tuesday night, so that will be very bitter-sweet! We unfortunately dropping the Hamo family because they weren't progressing and that makes me super sad. I love them, but they just aren't ready. It just showed me this week that I need to help those that are searching, not try to "solicit" to those who aren't.
Spreading the Gospel- Chalk Style!
4. We had a super cool district activity on Saturday, and drew the Plan of Salvation along the river in Zwickau! It was freezing cold but it didn't matter, we had a good time. Sadly it rained like two minutes after the pic, but hey we got a Facebook live tour and some pics for that #onlineproselyting 😎🤓
5. Zwickau lies in Erzgebirge- the Christmas region of the country! I was so sad that I was leaving right before Christmas because it is SO beautiful (google it!). Well, Bishop had a surprise for me yesterday- he and his wife set up their Christmas Pyramide and gave me a teeny Erzebirge Christmas!! He played Christmas music on the organ and we sang and watched the Pyramide spin. It was so special to me, more than I could tell them or you. These people have my heart.
Change is good, right? Life in no fun in the comfort zone, so cheers to the next adventure!!

Markus and Antoine- all of our nagging and marriage talks finally worked and they're getting MARRIED!!! We totally made this one happen 😏😎
We were at Janina's last night and someone announced that it SNOWED! Obviously I bolted out the door and enjoyed it. It was absolutely beautiful! It was SO worth cold, wet feet all night.
The Germans thought I was insane though #MinneSNOWtans
