I got a lesson how how to take a selfie by pushing the
side buttons and using .5 or some other nonsense.  
I think I will need a refresher lesson.


This is the living room area (so little).  
We took up a bunch of Book of Mormon's
so they will have some to hand out when
the new sisters arrive the end of the week.


Louise is supervising the bed assembly


The beds are assembled.  
Sister Finch and Sister Pearson
lay down to make sure the beds were 
comfortable (they are).


Gary and Elder Christensen working on the desk.


They are still working on the desk-Elder Wimmer finally
stepped in to read the instructions to see if that would help.


Lunch:  Sister Wimmer, Sister Pearson, Sister Finch, 
and Sister Christensen.  We ate sloppy joe's and potato
salad, cut up veggies and some snickerdoodles.

Office Senior Missionary Work

  This is Gary in his office at the Berlin Mission Offices located at Zerbster Strasse 42 This is Louise's desk space.  I use my laptop more than the desktop but both are available. This is the lobby of the mission office.   This tree is located just outside of our balcony window.   These are some of the packages that families have mailed to their missionaries.  All packages are delivered to the Mission Office and then we distribute them at  Zone Conference. More packages Shopping Carts require a coin to unlock the baskets from each other. Once a customer returns the basket to the rack, the coin is returned. In this grocery store, there is a cart escalator from the  parking garage into the store.   Gary at Edeka - just finished shopping. There is no time to bag groceries at the checkout stand. So, we put them back in our basket and take them to  our car where we then load them into reusable bags.   This is Checkpoint Charl...

Charlottenburg Palace and Christmas Market

Image
  Christmas Markets and Palaces are the best places to visit while in Germany in December.  We chose to visit the Charlottenburg Palace and Christmas Market this week.  It was so much fun!   The vaulted ceilings, chandeliers, marble floors and decorations are amazing. Cherubs Paintings and Vases Every room has a fireplace.  I'm sure the servants had to light them every single day in order to keep the palace warm for the royalty. A tribute to the prince... Gary on the grand staircase! Upper floor of the castle looking out toward the square and Christmas Market.
