Another fun weekend with the Canfield's. The weather was going to be nice on Saturday, unusually warm, so we decided to drive 45 minutes up to Ruedesheim and take the river cruise. What a fun day we had!
There has been so much going on in the mission these past few weeks, a nice Saturday up the Rhein was perfect! I am on the "Thanksgiving" committee for our Mission Thanksgiving dinner. They always try and make the holidays nice for us because we are all away from our families. There are six of us on the committee and we have split up the duties and are busy getting decorations and food and sign ups for our holiday dinner.
We have also been so busy with our work, Tony working with the young missionaries and making sure they are "legally" in their countries. The Europe area has strict compliance laws that must be obeyed so he is really busy with missionary visa's and also with contract work. I am still doing the work for the finance department and it keeps me busy.
We have had to say good bye to some really good friends we have made here in the mission, as their time came to go home. The Swensens, Hackings, Proctors, Kirks, and more that will be leaving in the next few weeks. We are so sad when these great people leave us. The Proctor's were our Zone Leaders. They took care of any problems we have with our cars, apartment, getting us registered as residence, and so forth. They also set up a "movie" nite and dinner's out with other senior missionaries. They have been gone a week now and are so missed by us all! But, this is what it's like to be on a mission, people come and go all the time. We have just gotten new couples, the Yosts, Nelsons, Lindsey's and Skouby's. We've been able to have them over for dinner and tried to make them feel welcome because we remember how lost you feel when you first get here. They are wonderful people and I am sure we will be good friends.
