We thought you might like to see a picture of our ward. This also is our Stake Center. We have all the modern conveniences here and the best part is, it is only a few steps away from our apartment. The outreach center is attached to the building in the back. There is hardly any parking for the ward so most of the time members have to park on the street or over at the Area Offices. Many members do not have cars so they ride the bus or the U-bahn. They are very faithful.

We wake up to beautiful sunrises that are unbelieveable. It is a great way to start the day. By the time we get into the office it is usually overcast. The fall season is awesome here in Germany. The colors have been incredible.

Everywhere you go we are reminded of the beauties Heavenly Father has created. We are now looking forward to Thanksgiving and have grateful hearts that we are able to be here in Germany serving the Lord. We have so many blessings, among those we treasure the most is our family that we miss so much.

We had fun decorating a pumpkin and filled it with carmel popcorn and took it over to our Mission President and his family. They work so hard helping the missionaries we thought this might give them something to enjoy and laugh about.

It won't be long and the Weihnachtsmarkts will be in full swing. The first day of advent, which is November 28 will be the beginning of the Christmas season.
