Marlene Lindsay had a birthday and we were honored to be asked by Jim to go to dinner to celebrate with them. They knew of a little sweet restaurant not far from our Apartment so we walked together and celebrated with them! They are from American Fork Utah so they live pretty close to us. This is their fourth mission. They served in Egypt, Phillippines, Salt Lake City and now Germany. They are our assistant Zone leaders and work in the Welfare department of our mission.
We have been talking with Elder and Sister Lear (Phil and Doreen) about going for a walk out in Friedricksdorf where their apartment is......so this Saturday, we called them and met up and had a great "9" mile hike thru the woods to Saarburg Roman Fort. Phil told us it was a "5" mile hike, and we said "sure"!!!! Wow, it was "4.5" miles ONE WAY! But, we loved it. This is what it looked like all the way there! Just gorgeous forest! We walked right from their apartment....one of my favorite days! When we got to the fort, we toured it and then went to lunch at this sweet restaurant right by the fort. I had one of the best salads I've had since I arrived in Germany! We ate outside, it was wonderful.
This is the restaurant we ate at.....
The four of us at the Roman fort. The Lear's live in New Port Beach California and have a home in Deer Valley Utah. Such great people! We enjoyed getting to know them better.
Our walk home, after a great lunch! Phil Lear, Doreen Lear and Tony
We now have just under seven months left on our mission. When we talk about going home, it seems like so much time has passed already! We can't believe we have such little time left. We want to take advantage of every minute, especially with the beautiful weather of the summer. One of our favorite things to do is ride bikes (as long as I don't fall!) AND, we love to walk to EIS CHRISTINA'S..... this is about two miles from our apartment. Tony LOVES Schoconugat Ice Cream......he even looks it up on the website and when they have it, we ALWAYS go for a walk to have a chocolate cone! YUM.....some of these memories I will really miss, but will always be grateful to have had them!
