We lost track of how many Christmas Markets we went to. They each have their own specialty depending on their region and they have some of the same at each one. The sights, sounds and feels are indescribable - everyone should experience a German Christmas. The sacred Christmas carols can be heard everywhere, manger scenes can be seen everywhere and laughter and happy greetings can be heard everywhere. No one is in a hurry to buy, wrap and send. It's a fabulous feeling to be able to focus more on the life of the Savior during this special time of year.



The multi-zone Christmas Conference was a great way to feel the
spirit of Christmas.

LOTS of packages full of love were delivered to young missionaries.

We celebrated Christmas early.

Nothing like warm soup in a bread bowl in a park on a cold day in Vienna.



Typical "hut" at a Christmas Market.



All company needs to see Neuschwanstein. It was very cold so we
rode in a horse drawn carriage wrapped in wool blankets almost
to the top.





Good bye! We had a great time!





We dragged them from the Black Forest to Vienna, Austria. We went to Christmas Markets, a conference, a baptism, palaces, train rides, bus rides, a concert and we walked and walked and walked. Thanks for coming girls. We love you.
