Bad Homburg with the Hills and Baughmans
On Friday evening we drove to Bad Homburg to meet some of our favorite people, who are serving as Mission Presidents here in Europe--Claralyn and Ned Hill in Moldova, Romania and Gary and Marilyn Baughman in Budapest, Hungary. We picked them up at their lovely hotel and then walked over to the Kartoffel Kuche for dinner. We enjoyed the pleasure of their company so very much. It is such a joy to meet up with old friends in a new country.
On Saturday, I went to the Flea Market and hit the jackpot. I have been searching for handmade doilies, and I found 14 of them for the quilt I am making. I met some really cool older women who had brought their things to the market to sell. One cute woman taught me how to wash and pin the doilies so that they don't shrink. She enjoyed practicing her English with me.
That evening we headed for the Offenbach Ward for an event called "Songs of Praise" put on by our wonderfully talented missionaries. A few investigators came, along with many members of our ward. The beautiful musical numbers by the choir and individual members brought a great spirit. I did a reading on the program. Then we enjoyed delicious treats in the cultural hall. It's always fun to see what members, who are from all over the world,bring to these events--hummus and veggies, German chocolate marshmallow puffs, bananas, apples, brownies, chocolate chip cookies, and cakes.
