A Visit from Flat Coco

On Wednesday, April 17th,  Flat Coco (The girl version of Flat Stanley) arrived in Germany.  The note that came with her saying she was a friend of Coco (our granddaughter).  She used to be normal girl until a bulletin board fell on top of her and left her flat.  One good thing about being flat; she can travel inexpensively.  She can fit easily inside an envelope and travel through the regular postal service.  That is why she decided to come and visit us.

Flat Coco arrived the day before we were to depart for Easter weekend.  The Europe Area Office, where we serve was closed on Good Friday, Saturday, Easter Sunday, and Easter Monday.  Lucky for Coco, she was able to travel with us on our temple trip to Switzerland.  We left Thursday and returned Monday night. Flat Coco then went back to her Sandy, Utah school class in the mail.  We hope her class enjoyed all the pictures and postcards we sent home with her.  We had a great weekend.  The next few posts will be of our adventure.
