All of our grandchildren have Face-Timed with us the entire time we have been gone, so they know our voices and what we look like - what's there not to know?
We were not able to return to Frankfurt and pack all of the belongings in our apartment, so some of our fellow senior missionaries packed our belongings and left our bags with the Europe Travel department to ship our bags DHL. Our bags were shipped and unfortunately the value placed upon our bags exceeded $1,000.00, requiring a custom tax. So our bags were returned to Frankfurt. The bags where then divided into two shipments. The first two bags arrived, and the other two bags arrived the day after. We now have more clothes to wear. Remember, we were only going to be in Canada for 8 days so we traveled light; three changes of clothes and underwear. Opening the bags was like Christmas morning. We are so thankful for the kindnesses of our fellow missionaries and the Europe Area Travel Department. Now it is merely a memory that we wore the same 3 outfits for over a month. We have since discovered there is yet another bag - what are the odds it will ever make it stateside?
