You are going to think all we do is eat, and you might be right. Saturday before Christmas we went to Chemnitz to enjoy their annual Christmas Concert and to see friends. Afterward we had a meal with the Jentzsch family. Roland Jentzsch was the bishop when we were here before and we were good friends with Anna and Benjamin. They now have four children and have a lovely home.

Then on Christmas day we were invited to enjoy dinner with the Branch President and his family. They served Christmas goose and duck. President Merkel is here "fighting the goose" to quote him.
Dave and I both said our best Christmas present was being here and making new friends and seeing ones from before. Like Alma, (17:2) the greater joy was seeing that they are still growing in the gospel. We met Mattias Seidle, one of our previous institute students who is now on the Stake High Council and assigned to Hof. Another is a branch president and several are married with children, raising them in the church. What a blessing to see the kingdom growing here. May you all value the blessings the gospel brings.
