Week 64 - Life in Greifswald Week 6: I was Forst into here... and Christmas!

Hello friends of the owner of this email account. This email may or may not be being written by a lifeforms, which may or may not be the owner of this email. In all possible situations though, this email will be written in the way that the actual writer of this email thinks will make it most appear to be written by the actual owner of this email. Please enjoy.

This week has been an interesting one, to say the least. The greater part of it was taken up by Christmas, which in Germany at the very least vastly changes the pace of the work for a few days. In Germany there are three Christmas holidays, the 24th, 25th, and 26th respectively. During these days, member appointments are allowed to be much longer (up to four hours), and are very much encouraged, as normal proselyting activities are not, for the most part, allowed. Elder Sinclair and I had two eating appointments during the three days, so we had plenty of time to get to know each other. It was a relatively easy task considering that we already knew each other fairly well (from when we served in Forst). We ended up buying a turkey that was on extreme sale for 13 Euro and spent most of Christmas preparing and enjoying it. It turned out very well (see pictures). 



Other than that, it was mostly just goodbyes last week. Elder Neale tschüss out of here, along with Sister Myers, transfer day happened, did some hardcore finding for our ward Christmas devotional, had district meeting, and had a caroling street display. Life is good!


Christmas Skype with some of my family!

Aufwiederschreiben, friends!


Liebe Grüße,
Elder Austin Spaulding
