It has been a busy and exciting week!!!
We had some great friends staying with us for conference and other meetings.
Here is a picture of the group; on the left is Madeline Manwaring standing behind Larry Manwaring, on the couch is Mattt Herber, Gertrude Herber (his mother), The Mom and Lutz Herber.
I have written about the Manwarings before; Larry was Mission President in Frankfurt while we were in Munich. We went out together and visited often on the phone and in Mission President Training Seminars each of the three years we were out. After the missions, he has visited us and we have visited them on there farm in Virginia where we had great time hunting birds. Larry is an ENT surgeon and just about good at everything.
Lutz Herber and his wife live in Augsburg, Germany. When we were there, he was the Bishop of the Munich 2nd ward. He has been a Bishop three times and is currently the Bishop of the Augsburg ward. He has also been a Stake President of the Munich Stake when they had Innsbruck and Salzburg as well. He has been a Mission counselor three times and was my counselor as well. They are a great and steadfast family. Matt contacted me on Facebook and wondered if they could stay over conference and we were tickled to have them. They stayed downstairs and the Manwarings stayed upstairs.
Everyone went to the LDS medical meeting on Wednesday evening for diner and listen to Elder Holland speak in detail on a Karl Bloch painting of the Savior at the pools of Bethesda and emphasize the healing mission of the Savior. Everyone had tickets to Conference (except for us) and all had a great time. Larry took us to they great little Chinese Restaurant, "Little World" a couple of times where we had a great time as well. We loved having our friends over and I had a chance to speak a lot of German for a few days.
We love you all,
Mom and Dad
