Here's some pictures that Jeremy has sent us and some that a senior missionary couple have posted on their mission blog. Jeremy has been in Latvia since July 2012. He has lived in two different areas, but both have been in the capital city of Riga.
Latvia is fairly high in latitude, so the winters are quite cold and dark.On December 21st, the shortest day of the year, the sun rose after 9:00 AM and set around 3:30 PM. The pictures attached below are from September thru December.
(as always, you can click on the pictures to see them larger).

From a senior missionary blog (everything in quotes and italics below are copied and pasted from the senior missionaries blog);
"...Latvia ended up with a zone conference on Christmas Day. We started the day with a gift exchange ($4 or less)"

it was lunch time...a delicious Christmas chicken dinner at the
medieval restaurant, Pie Kristapa Kunga, next to the Riga Chapel." |

| "After our scrumptious meal, we walked back to the church for leadership training." |
"And had a beautiful Christ-centered program on the birth of the Savior that brought the Spirit of God into our hearts. We ended with a testimony meeting and closed the conference so the missionaries could call home."
