Good-
- We were able to help an olderly lady. :)
- Went Caroling. totally fun
- are going to lots of christmas markets!
We got to sing in the Young adult choir in sacrament meeting. Chistmas is so interesting here. the 4 sundays just before christmas is called 4 Advent sundays. You light one candle each week and do one thing to decorate. You put up the tree on the 24th, and the 24th is called Heiliga abend (holy night) Then they celebrate christmas on the 25th and 26th. Makes it hard to get places when the bahns basically shut down for those two days. :P Thats ok.
Sorry it's short. Need to look some videos up.
Frohe Weihnachten! (Merry Christmas!)

Lost........... and Found Transfer 4 Week 2
Hey Everyone. :)
So this week I had a very interesting, scary thing happen, well, It was actually today. We were heading to the church to email, and I was thinking about emailing and missed the stop we were supposed to get off on. I was really paniky at first, but I knew that I needed to get off the bahn. So I got off at the next stop, praying to know what to do. I felt like I needed to go back to the right stop and that things would be ok. So I waited for the other bahn and went back to the other stop, and went down to the u-bahn that we normaly take to the church. Sister Bates, wasn't there. At this point, I really started to freak out and worry. Here I was, in a city I didn't know, without a phone or a companion. Completely alone. I sked a couple people if I couple use there phone to call Sister Bates, since I had our number on a card, but no one would let me. I finally sat down and prayed that either someone would be nice enough to let me use their phone, or that sister bates would find me. Finally I look up and the Elders came down the stairs and I was never so happy in my life. I started crying and almost hugged them both. THey called sister bates and we were soon reunited. I know now sortof what other people feel like when they are as the scriptures say "trying to find truth, but know not where to find it." THey are probably not scared like I was, but they don't know where to turn. I now have a more urgentcy to contact everyone I can. I don't want to ever go through this again, but I am glad for the expirience that I had.
Machst gut! (Doing well!)

Week #1, Transfer #4, Comp #5, Area #3, Zone #3, State in Germany #3.
Hey Everyone!
I hope that you all are doing well and that everything is good.
As indicated by the title of this email, I am being transfered this Thursday to Essen Germany. It is in the Most northwestern part of the frankfurt mission, and will take about 8 hours to get there by train/bus. :P I will be working with a Sister (Can't remeber name.... :/) who was sister Brown's comp in the MTC whch is totally cool! Small world. :) I am super excited to go. I am excited to learn new things and to essen in Essen. ;) I am also really sad though. I love it here in Wiesbaden and I have only been here one transfer. I have grown really close with the Missionaries, and It feels like I am leaving family all over again. I know that things will be fine though, and I totally plan on hanging out with my mission hommies after the mission.
I got to go to the Temple today. It was a really bitter sweet Expirience. It was amazing, because it was A. The Temple, but also because we got to do names for a sister in the ward. It was a cool expirience. I got to do it for a Marie Francoise Banker. (She's French if you can't tell). It was sad though, because I don't know when I will be back to it for a long while. Essen is too far away for us to come back, so it might be several months, maybe the rest of my mission till I can go back. It was hard to leave. We will see what happens.
For now, it is sufficent to say that things are going well, I am all packed up already, I have like 4 tschüß books to finish, and one future wife book. :P I will be kept so busy that I won't be able to be too sad about leaving this area. :P
Oh! And a funny story to finish off this email.... The Elders had bought some chocolate for me since I was sad about being transfered. THey also gave me an ice cream bar. I ate like 3ish bites, and was like, "this tastes really funny". I then read the ingredients and it said that there was alcohol in it like 3 times! I Imidiately stopped eating it and called the elders like "DONT EAT ANY MORE OF THE ICE CREAM! IT HAS ALCOHOL IN IT!" THey were so suprised and I guess that they gave me the last bar. :P So ya its official, I have had a little bit of alcohol. :P I now have the mentality of look at ingredients before you eat. (It was the second time I accedentally ate something with alcohol in it. :P)
Anyways, Ein Schöne Woche für Alle, und Viel Glück mit alles dass passiert werden. :)
(A Beautiful week for all , and good luck with everything that happens to be.)
Viel Spaß,

THis week was amazing. We had awesome appointments with investigators and had annoying Elders prank us. Wasn't all that funny, but whatever. I still love working with them. We also had lots of eating appointments and are having lots of splits. :)
Viel Spass
