A New Year has begun. May yours be filled with good friends, health, happiness, good times, and good memories.

Take time to dance with your honey, play a board game, hug a grandchild, enjoy the sunrise, laugh at your mistakes, do a good deed, and draw closer to our Heavenly Father.

Forty-eight years ago when Elder Meservy was a young missionary here in Innsbruck this is where they held church meetings. It is a via-duct bogen and individual spaces were rented out.

A train track runs on top and rooms are built in the arches underneath. When the church met here the speaker would have to stop talking until the train went by because of the noise. The area now is used for commercial use.

Just look at those two cute guys doing the dishes at the church after one of our dinners - Elder Meservy washing and Elder Miller drying.

The ladies sat back and enjoyed!

The day after Christmas we drove to St. Johanns for dinner with branch members and the young Elders. The snow and the mountains were spectacular. We had a fun evening of games, visiting and good food.

View from our balacony. Jerry loves to take scenic pictures, but Rosalyn always tells him that someone needs to be in the picture. So, yep that handsome guy standing against the wall is Jerry!

It seems wierd, but the sun comes up and sets behind that mountain (the dark one.) We only get about two hours of sunshine during the day in the winter.

Branch Christmas Party. They had a tasty dinner and a wonderful program. Brother Schmidt is playing the guitar and Rosalyn and the young Elders are singing Christmas songs in ENGLISH!

Jerry sang too, but someone had to take the picture!

CHRISTMAS DAY and Santa did find our house. Notice the orange and banana? Santa surprised us by putting them in one of our stockings!

The painting is from Konrad, one of his originals, and the calendar is one that Beverly made with family pictures inside and family birth dates.

We had dinner at a branch member's home and it was a wonderful day.

Christmas Eve was spent with Konrad and Paula Nagele and their son. Christmas Eve is their main holiday. The dinner was scrumptious and it was a very enjoyable evening. We got home before midnight in time to hear all the church bells ringing. Also we were hoping that good old St. Nick would find our house.
