We woke up on Christmas morning..... ate cereal.....studied and stared at each other
Seeing as how I had to wait till late afternoon to open my package when we skyped..
I prepared myself and the night prior I wrapped up things in the apartment I found so I could unwrap them and make Christmas morning normal!
Cereal boxes
Toilet paper
Pencils
Hymn books
Glue
Toothpaste
The members here took good care of us.. They invited us over to watch their kids open presents and even meet the Weimchtsman
( a very creepy snugly Santa)..
It was three days straight of
Kalooza
Kartoffel
Rotkohl
Sauerkraut
Brot
Sahne
Eis
Fleisch
At one particular eating appointment i was chewing a strange meat when my companion asked the host what it was...
"Goose"! they said...
Some things are better left lost in translation.. Who eats goose?
I ate what I could and i was stuffed.
Then the lady brings out ice cream....alright no problem
Then she goes into the kitchen and comes back with peach cobbler...mmk
She then brings us German cookies...uhm
Then brings out German cake...no!
Then leaves and comes back with candied nuts...stop!!!
She stood up and I said " NEIN WIR SIND SATT!!! (We are full!!!!) and she looked at me weird and said... I'm just going to my bedroom to grab my sweater.
Whooooops
This week we had exchanges and i stayed here in Leipzig with Sister Noyes. I greeted her at the train station and she held out her hand and said
" I brought you a gift"
awwwwwww......
And in my hand she plops a set of earplugs.
I look up and she grins and says " I snore "
thanks

New years brings lots of changes for me. It's been a hard year but worth it. I know i gave my best at everything I could.
God threw alot of trials my way but I know I was not the one who gave up. I have come to know myself and my savior so much better.
I know what I want in life and I have faith in the Lord that he will lead me there..
Keep it loose keep it tight

Me: oh.............. mmk
