We hope you have had a great week with beautiful weather and sunshine! We are so grateful for you and all the good things you are doing. You are such good examples to us in so many ways.
We had a short week in the office this week. We only spent Monday and Tuesday there. Wednesday we did a site visit with Malcolm and Malcolm’s boss, Gabi, who flew in from Frankfurt to be with us. We visited the proposed church for the new Public Affairs office, and it was decided that with some modifications it would be suitable. Working with Facility Management and a leasing company for a new flat for the next missionary couple will be the project we finish our mission with.
Our ward is so welcoming to our visitors. It’s fun to introduce Brad and Wendy to the people I’ve grown to love that I’ve written home about. Wendy even came to Primary with me, and my heart could have burst when they sang “Whenever I Hear the Song of a Bird” so well. I realized that of all the people I love in England, I’ll miss the Primary children the most. Shhhhhhh…….don’t tell.
We put the Gibbs’ on the train after church, on their way to Paris for a few days before going home. We are leaving shortly for a youth fireside that Ron was asked to speak at on ‘Crucial Conversations’. See what I tell you? He has blessed the lives of so many here by his vast knowledge of the gospel and his ability to teach. I know they will miss him. Unfortunately, tonight we will be leaving in the rain, and possibly driving through some flooded streets as the weather gives us thunder, lightning, and pouring rain today. But it’s ok . . . we haven’t melted yet.
I’ll miss visiting the cemeteries tomorrow. For me, Memorial is another day that I count my blessings for the gospel of Jesus Christ and the plan of salvation, and my testimony that we will see our loved ones again and share lives together in heaven just as we do here.
Our prayers continue to be with you. We love you so much.
Cheers,
Ron and Marie
