Hey everybody!
We had a great week! The highlight was our conference in
Salzburg. We had a gift exchange and watched "Meet the Mormons!" It
was really great! At the conference I got to see some people that I hadn't seen
in a while too so it was really fun. I got to see Elder Ringger as well but it
had only been a week. Our train ride was fun too.
We also had our ward Christmas party on Saturday! That was a
blast. There were tons of people there! The members really did a good job of
inviting their friends and families. There were some awesome performances as
well. It was fun to see all of the different cultures and Christmas traditions
that come together in an international ward. There were drum dances and African
Christmas songs, as well as a really cool shadow play of Christ's birth. Luis was
supposed to play Gabriel but ended up not being able to come. He was pretty sad
about it. One of our members brought 150 pieces of chicken, and they were all
huge! I've never seen so much chicken in my life. Someone also gave us some
peanut butter jars from america, plus some peanut butter Oreos! That is close
to impossible to find around here so it was really nice.
The work is going well. We are talking to a lot of people
about Christmas time, and they are more open to talking with us about that. Our
amount of appointments is going a bit down but that is normal as we approach
Christmas. It will be easier to meet with people when they aren't so busy
getting ready for Christmas. Speaking of Christmas, Bro Cleavinger is sending
off my package today so it should be there before Christmas. Sorry that there
isn't tons of candy and goodies in there. I made sure to put in some. But I
sent my journal home that is from the first six transfers or so. Feel free to
reed that.
I love you all!
Elder Eldredge
