i am really sad to be leaving mainz. i love the people here so much. but i am excited to go too. i've been here for 5 months! my new comp is sister barnhart and she's going home after this transfer. i like her a lot!
thanksgiving was good. i got pumpkin pie... that was yummy. the american ward even played football in the morning and the elders went... i asked elder henderson why we weren't invited. he said, oh i didnt think you'd want to go. and i said are you kidding it's football! of course i want to go!! but then we decided it's okay that we didn't go... because it was a bunch of boys... and we're girls. oh well... next year i'm going!
today we have to go to frankfurt at some point and i have to take all my stuff with me. i think we're going to get to stay in a hotel because tomorrow is transfers so we're just staying in frankfurt overnight! it'll be fun!
well it's sad for me to leave mainz. but i feel really good about the time i spent here and i feel like i gave it everything i could. i've learned A LOT and now it's time for me to move back down south to karlsruhe! its not that far from heidelberg... maybe we'll go for a p-day or something and see the christmas market there. i would love to see heidelberg at christmas!!!!
jess: yes sweetie i did get the rolls in the mtc. haha so they aren't rotting. and i did get your package you sent. thanks!!! i love the tape too. i'll try and get one sent out to to you soon! love you and miss you!
meg: i got your package! thanks for the earrings! they are SO cute!!! i miss you too!!! too bad you didn't get to see my family. i saw a picture of my bro. david... he's getting old! crazy how fast they grow up! haha love you!
pierre: hey thanks for the email! did you see the post i had my mom put on my blog a month or so ago?? well looks like i'm going to be down in karlsruhe for a while. my comp there is going home after this cycle. so unless i do a horrible job down there, i'll probably be staying. maybe i'll get transferred up north before i finish. who knows!! christmas is awesome in germany. so far at least.... christmas markets are crazy fun! i haven't tried kinderpunch yet... that's next on my list.... the christmas markets in wiesbaden and in mainz aren't that big... well i haven't seen any other markets but they dont seem that big. but they're still fun! anything i should try at the christmas markets???
FYI: Karlsruhe is on the Rhine River
at the foot of the Black Forest,
just 1/2 hour from France.

Will you send me Rachels new address when you get it.
Hey Sister Doty,
guess what?! Piper is now in Cologne. Yeah, that's so cool and we already had much fun at my place.
His companion elder Roane is cool, too. Both match so well together :-)
We wanna go clubbing soon....ah nonono, just kidding.
I went to frankfurt temple last weekend. It was soo beautiful. Here in cologne it's getting cold, like everywhere in Germany now.
We even have abit snow, like we never have here in Cologne.
Next weekend we have christmas party at our ward and i'm playing Joseph. But it's not a leading role.
also next week begins vacation, yippie.
I'll be going to Belgium Liege Christmas village with some friends. We will have fun. Than chrostmas with my parents and than new years eve in Hamburg. So much party to come ;)
Wish you all the best in Karlsruhe.
ps: try some "gebrante mandeln", "lebkuchen" and "crepes" on the christmas markets. "Mandeln" are my favourits. See ya
