First Weeks in Germany

The ward members who greeted us
The flowers given me when they met us at the train sattion - how did they know i love orange and yellow?
The Kitchen is wonderful - once we learned how to work the appliances
This is our flat - we live on the bottom far right
The home was a School House built in the 1600's
This is a house on the corner wheree we live
The windows open so you can air out the house - mold is apparently a big problem
"On the street where you live"
The steeple of the Church a block from our home
The village grocery store
The Bakery across the street - way too convenient for those who lack self discipline

Farm lands near our home
Christmas stockings for the elders
Elder Stonehocker and Elder Herzog on Christmas Eve
One of the three windows letting lots of light during the day
Dad telling stories to the Elders
Sister Gurney on Christmas Eve

  1. Hi Clint and Allyson- I hope you will read comments on your blog periodically. Is this the best way to contact you? Let me know if there's a better way. I can't believe we're seeing photos from Christmas Eve! How fun to see the flat you're living in, the little bakery across the street, the orange and yellow flowers. Thank you for the use of your home on Dec. 23 to bless baby Cyrus. It was the first time I had seen him! They are coming down this afternoon for pizza. Brandon and Sterling went to a Jazz basketball game together last night. Unfortunately, the Jazz lost badly. You're in my prayers. I can't believe you are on this adventure already! Love, Elizabeth
