Snow and more snow! We're just so happy it's not really cold, just sort of. Spring, oh Spring, where art thou? We are also happy to be able to teach young men like this one, learn from and teach with these two Elders, and have fun when we do apartment checks. As a prize this month we gave each of the 5 apartments a "feather" duster. They loved them and immediately started dusting, all of them. There are some lucky young women waiting for these guys.

Well, the snow is back! We took a nice walk around a neighboring community that had this great palace. It is now being used as a music conservatory and botanical garden. The students were practicing their instruments, with windows open, it was delightful. We ended the week at District Meeting in Gera and lunch at this wonderful lady's home. She has been serving lunch to the missionaries once a week since 1990. She has pictures of every missionary that has ever crossed her thresshold and she's a fabulous cook!

Seriously! The first two pictures were taken one week apart out our bedroom window! Today it is 50 degrees - out come the jacket liners!! We spent one day helping a family move - men always love to show off their muscles. Their new apartment was on the 3rd floor, no elevator. I know I talk a lot about how many nationalities we work with but - two Americans, one Swiss, one Chinese, and one Australian helping a German family. They moved everything including the kitchen sink. They all complained the next day about being sore! Except for Elder Lee - he used our favorite muscle cream - Voltaren. It's magic! How many men does it take to change a light bulb? It is such a treat when they all get the guitars out and sing together. Here I go again - India, Switzerland, USA, Germany, and Guatemala.
