Munich's Zoo, Our scooter gang, and Elder Nelson

Munich's Zoo














 
HALEY IS ORDERING ZUCKERWATTE (COTTON CANDY) USING GERMAN

 


 
I TOOK THIS PICTURE BECAUSE WHEN I LOOKED AR THIS ANIMAL AND SAW THE SIGN, IT DIDN'T LOOK ANYTHING LIKE THE ELK I'VE EVER SEEN. IT LOOKED AN AWFUL LOT LIKE A MOOSE TO ME, BUT YOU GUYS DECIDE.


WE BOUGHT GERMAN SCOOTERS TO BE ABLE TO GET AROUND MUNICH A LITTLE BETTER. I SOMETIMES FEEL LIKE I AM IN A LITTLE SCOOTER GANG.  THESE SHOTS WITH WATER ARE FROM A LITTLE SPLASH PAD THAT WE GO TO COOL OFF.

 
THE NEXT TWO SHOTS ARE OF TWO LITTLE KIDS THAT WERE ESSENTIALLY DUMPED IN MY LAP.  THEIR MOTHER DIDNT SPEAK MUCH ENGLISH BUT WANTED ME TO BABYSIT SO SHE COULD FIND HER MISSING SON.  WE BELIEVE IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN A SCAM TO TRY AND PICK POCKET ME WHILE I WAS DISTRACTED WITH THE KIDS, BUT MY MONEY WAS NOT ACCESIBLE SO LUCKILY NOTHING WAS STOLEN.





THIS ONE BELOW IS ONE OF THE MANY WIPEOUTS THE GIRLS HAVE HAD. WE ARE BRUISED, BUT LOVING OUR SCOOTERS.




 
THIS TIME WE WISED UP AND WORE SWIM SUITS TO THE SPLASH PAD.




 
THE GERMANS STARTED TO STARE AT THE GIRLS AS THEY PLAYED ''DOWN BY THE BANKS . . .''


 
 
 
ELDER RUSSELL M. NELSON OF THE QUORUM OF THE 12 APOSTLES CAME TO SPEAK TO OUR STAKE AND ALTHOUGH WE DIDN'T, OF COURSE, TAKE PICTURES OF HIM SPEAKING, WE DID TAKE PICTURES OF US TRAVELING BY TRAIN TO GET TO THE HOTEL WHERE HE SPOKE.
 
 




ELDER NELSON'S DAUGHTER IS IN OUR WARD.  SHE IS THE MISSION PRESIDENT'S WIFE.

WELL, 6.5 WEEKS LEFT UNTIL WE GO HOME.  WE MISS EVERYONE!!!
