Happy New Year everyone!!!

Man, it was so nice to get the chance to Skype with the family on
Christmas! Can't believe that I will only be doing that one more time, on Mother's Day,
before I go home.  Here's what I saw on Christmas--love that nephew, Isaac!!!

We had solid dinner appointments all three days of Christmas including
a visit from the Weihnachtsman (Santa)! In order to get gifts from the
Weihnachtsman, you have to sing a song or recite a poem so naturally
we sang Rudolf the Red-Nosed Reindeer. The Weihnachtsman gave us
tickets to the Hanse Museum here in town. I've been wanting to go
there so I'm excited to check it out.

We had an appointment on Sunday evening with our friend who is
preparing for baptism. We took the elders quorum president along and
he was a big help. We taught the code of health, or word of wisdom, since that's been
something he's wanted to learn about and something we need to work on
with him. Everything's still going well. We're really blessed to be
able to teach him.

Happy new year everybody! Can't believe I didn't set foot on American
soil all of 2015!

Love,

Elder Tanner Germann
