Tchüss to the city of Glück and hello to the home of Hilde!

So my time in Itzehoe and Glückstadt is coming to a close.....tomorrow actually, and I'm off to a city called Hildesheim.

 

Leaving a place like Glückstadt is really hard! I have made some really good friends here and I have learned so much here, not only about missionary work but also about myself. At least my last week in Glückstadt was a good one. We had the awesome opportunity to do service at the World War Two memorial in Itzehoe. The bad part was that Elder O'Keefe got a gnarly tic in his arm and he is now on Lyme disease watch.

I also got to say goodbye to all of my friend that I have made here and we were able to finish the preparations for a music event that we are putting on in the church. All in all a really good week... other then the tic fiasco.

I'm so excited to move on to a new area and to see what I can learn and who I can help in Hildesheim!

Thank you for all of your support and for your emails!

Have a great week,
Elder Schmalz
