They smiled through the mosquito bites. We will miss these as they
leave us one by one.

Our weeks just keep rolling along so fast. Some weeks look like they will be pretty quiet and by Monday afternoon that all changes. The Young Single Adults came over to our apartment for an activity of climbing up our mountain (large hill) to "our" small castle. Who knew mosquitoes were so big and so many? We got up there with our picnic basket of food and ready to have a great time but the mosquitoes chased us away, after a few pictures, of course. We ate in our apartment, played a game of Tri-Raids and enjoyed each other's company anyway. We were happy to be with a young lady who is leaving on her mission this week, excited to share worries and expectations of another one of "our" girls who is going to Armenia on her mission, and talked about the anticipation of another young man who is waiting for his mission assignment. We love these people who have such a positive influence on us.


We took time out of our schedule to "attend" the funeral of an apostle
of the Lord. We can still picture his tall stature and infectious smile. He
was a great man whose influence will live on.

Speaking of tall stature - some of us need
a stool to communicate with our friend.



We didn't know they have monsoons in Germany! Our street was a
river in 5 minutes. We are happy it didn't last long.

We were privileged to attend the Temple again,
this time we took the sister missionaries.

We love this family and have become good friends.

We found this little bridge again. The river is the border between
Germany and Switzerland. You can stand in both countries at the
same time but you might get hit by a car. It is very narrow!

 Countryside walks are full of surprises.





Love this history.

Love these paths that go on forever.

Some of this was planned, some not, but we are grateful for all of these experiences in such a beautiful place.
