We are completing our
mission Blog so we can enjoy the memories in a book. It has been about 2 ½ years since we returned
from our mission. Our goal with these
last entries is to document the last three months of our mission and to share
some of the experiences that have not been included but were significant in
building our testimonies as we served as Area Welfare Specialist for the Europe
area.
January 2013
My mother had not seen me
for almost 2 years and she felt it necessary to see me. So my sister and I arranged to meet in New
York for a long weekend. Mother and
Vickie flew into New York on Wednesday, January 16, 2013. I flew in on Thursday the 17th due
to problems with my flight, as John has already explained. We stayed at the Marriott Essex hotel which
was right off of Central Park. We had a
wonderful reunion. We took a carriage
ride in the Park, shopped, enjoyed a day
in the Manhattan Temple together, which was such a special treat. We went to see the show “Wicked”. We walked around Time Square. We enjoyed
eating out and just visiting and being together. On Sunday the 20th, I flew back to
Frankfurt, arriving on the morning of the 21st. I freshened up and went to the office for the
day. I appreciate President Teichert so
much for allowing me to go.
