Greifswald!!!

This was my first time serving in former east germany. It was a huge change from west Germany. It was also a huge college town, and I was not familiar with talking to so many young people but it turned out great in the end.

This is the prettiest part of the city of Greifswald. You can see the beautiful painted buildings behind me and there is another fountain to the side of me.
This is the harbor! Yes that is me walking on "water" ...everything was frozen. The boats are even frozen into the harbor. Now imagine being outside in this cold all day every day. It was so hard and we were seriously worried that spring would never come........

But it did!!!! And it could not have been more beautiful!

Yellow is my all time favorite color and to see so many fields of yellow warmed my soul.

This is an out look from the top of a cathedral in the city of Stralsund. This is actually the largest city in the Greifswald area, but there were so few members that these two cities, Wolgast and two islands were in our area. It was the largest area in the whole mission.
