Christmas Day Phone Call

Since the last post, I've had many concerned friends ask me if Rachel is ok.
Yes... and thank you for your concern... she is ok.
We were able to spend almost an hour and a half talking with her on Christmas day.
Because her apartment is just one big room
and a bathroom,
and she and her companion wanted to give each other
privacy while they talked to their families,
the one on the phone camped out in the bathroom and sat on part of the couch.
So, while she chatted with us from the bathroom,
she was in her jammies
with a plateful of cheese and crackers.
She sounded wonderful... happy... positive... funny.
But, Karlsruhe is a very hard area.
There are two sets of elders that also serve there.
They do not currently have investigators either.
No one wants to hear what the missionaries want to share,
and day after day after day that can be very discouraging.
But Rachel is a "glass half full" kind of girl.
She's going to be fine...
