Christmas in the Germany Frankfurt Mission Christmas book compiled by Carolyn Letters and photos from family and friends. Background showing multiple screen shots from our zone conferences. Our 89 New Missionaries! On December 31 we traveled to Spangdahlem Air Force Base for a baptismal interview. While there an F-16 pilot and his daughter gave us a tour. On the way home from Spangdahlem we stopped at the picturesque village of Bernkastel-Kues. This building has pictures of all the Disney princesses painted in the windows.

They were then received notification that they would be leaving for En...
