So on Tuesday we went to meet with Sylvana (a recent convert) who lives an hour and a half away and when we got to the city. We missed our bus and the next one didn't come for an hour, so we decided to go finding and we found a man named Moussa. We shared the Christmas video with him on the street and he said "I love this video where can I find it!?" Haha So we told him about our website and we set up a return appointment with him! I know we missed our bus for a reason it was such a huge blessing!
Wednesday we met with an investigator named Carina. We made Spätzle which is a super German food and it was one of the best meals I've had on the mission! So dang good.
After that we tried to visit less actives, none were home so we klingeled some doors and a lady answered and actually invited us in... first time that's ever happened! She invited us to come back and sent us on our way with some oranges :))
Thursday we went and visited 3 less active ladies with Schwester Müller and it was so amazing. Each one of their faces when we shared the "er lebt" (He lives) video just lit up. That video is my favorite one, If you haven't watched it, go watch it! I can't even describe how amazing it is. We also sang them some Christmas songs and it was just so much fun. My heart was bursting with gratitude that day. Schwester müller also bought us a Christmas tree sooo best day ever.
Friday we taught Maguy and it was a hard lesson... She didn't pray about the priesthood and she said she stopped reading the Book of Mormon and didn't want to pray to know if anything was true because she doesn't really care, She just likes anything that has to do with God. I testified to her that the book is true and that she was literally holding the truth in her hands, That everything our church Is..., relys upon that book and I promised her that if she would read it she would get an answer. I explained that her answer probably wouldn't be a huge thing, but a quiet whispering from the Holy Ghost. She asked for a chapter to end with, and idk why but immediately after she asked that I felt prompted to give her Alma 32. Sister Hofmockel said she felt the spirit sooo strong when I was talking about the Book of Mormon so that was cool haha I left that lesson exhausted. I really hope she reads and gets her answer that this is the true church. Please pray for her!
Saturday was our Ward Christmas Party we went in the woods with some torches and sang Christmas songs around a camp fire and the Weihnachtsmann came and gave all the little kids presents it was sooo fun :)

Sunday a woman in our ward Schwester Doms invited us to a Catholic Church for a Christmas concert and I kid you not it was the most amazing performance ever. The singers were so good and their voices filled the building and it was just ahhhhmaaazzziiinnnggg. Can't really put it into words!!
Today we went to the Ritter Sport chocolate factory!! It was the bomb, we ate lots of chocolate, The End lol.
This week I've really been focusing on the TRUE meaning of Christmas and being a missionary at this time is indescribable... to be able to focus on Christ 24/7 and testify of His birth and life is so Amazing! I hope you all have such an amazing Christmas on Sunday and really try and remember our Savior. He is the light of this world and he really does live today.
Frohe Weihnachten everyone, I love you all!!
