Phone call on Christmas Day

We got to talk with Mooker at 1:00 p.m. our time (9:00 p.m. Germany) for 2 hours. He sounded so great and we looked on Google Earth while we talked with him and he told us about where he lived, in a nice apartment, and where he catches the train. Where the church building was and his surroundings. He got to talk with his brother, Matt for an hour on Christmas morning. Matt is serving a mission in France and will be home in June. Mooker has been eating at the homes of nice families nearly everyday and says he will have to start doing sit-ups to keep his weight down. Wuppertal is a very modern city with only small parts that look "old world". The trains are awesome and totally on time.
