Merry Christmas Everyone!

Elder Carter and Elder Batzke's Christmas day in Neumarkt, Austria!

Elder Carter wrote....

Let's not forget the reason for this wonderful season, our Savior,

Jesus Christ. He was the first and very best Christmas present there

ever was and ever will be. Because of Him we enjoy this time of year

with the peace and knowledge and joy that there's something more to

this crazy time of year, to the last minute trip to the grocery store,

to the hectic schedules, to the high expectations of Christmas parties

and celebrations. It's about so much more. It's about refreshing our

perspective on what really brings true happiness into our lives and

into the world. Love. Service. Light. Hope. He is gift of all gifts.

'I'm staying! I'm staying! Whoa I'm staying in Neumarkt until I come home, which will be February 2, 2017 😀 there was a possibility that there would have been a change with us here but we are blessed and lucky enough to stay together for one last transfer.'

.... we went to Oberndorf, the place where the song 'Silent Night' was written! :) the church in which it was originally written was torn down sadly because it was a wreck but
there is a new chapel/ little church that was built as a memorial. It's pretty cool.
