Teaching Indexing at Home Evening last night was as much fun as doing the Funky Chicken. We taught these wonderful students how to help with the World Wide Indexing project of gathering information from census records, etc. These records can then be used by Genealogists and family history buffs around the world. If you are interested in getting involved, too, go to LDS.org, then familysearch., then indexing OR let us know and we'll help you get started. So much fun!

Teaching the funky chicken. Who knew dancing would be part of our teaching? What a fun party this was. We came home exhausted because of the cooking, washing dishes, laughing, dancing and singing! You want to come and visit don't you!!

I know it's hard to tell the work from the play. Top pictures are a Zone excursion to the Wartburg Castle where Martin Luther translated the New Testament from Greek to German. The other two are Home Evening with some great kids. We taught them to make ice cream sandwiches with chocolate chip cookies. The only problem was the cookies were still hot from the oven. Yum!

Just wanted to share our latest shopping experience: Most of my shopping is done by looking at the pictures on the packages. We were making lasagne for our big Thursday night dinner so I needed tomato paste, cottage cheese, etc. I came home with lots of tomato sauce (tomaten pasiert should be paste, right?) and the picture of the rice pudding looks exactly like cottage cheese. Now I look for Hutten Kasse instead of reis milch. (Duane did notice the rice pudding just before we checked out so we had to go back and find Hutten Kasse.) The lasagne turned out great thanks to Duane being able to actually read the instructions, not enough pictures for me.
We also came across an electric lice comb in the store, I didn't know there was such a thing. If anyone needs one just let me know and we'll send it home. Do they have those in the States?

Happy Easter clothes

Oven baked jeans. One of the young missionaries needed to dry his jeans quickly so he did what anybody in such a pinch would do - he put them in the oven. Holes were burned through so he brought them to me to patch. I didn't know patching jeans would be a requirement here but I loved being able to help using my new sewing machine!

What a buggy ride!

Residence of the Prince Bishop of Wurzberg from the 1700s. Some of it was bombed in 1945 and restored.

Our Mission President and his wife.

The timer on the camera does work!

We wondered why they left the Christmas decorations out so long. It's so they can add Easter decorations. There are eggs hanging on everything!

All of the Senior Missionaries serving in the Frankfurt mission. It was a great week end. We learned a lot, saw a lot and had a lot of fun.
