Made it Home - December 17, 2022

 A bit sad to say goodbye but I am very enthusiastic to return home.  I am so grateful to my mission President Scott Naatjes and his wife Jodi Naatjes  and appreciate their help.  I am so glad I did as I was commanded to do and can return to my home in peace and feel pleased with my service.  Traveled to Amsterdam then on to Salt Lake City.  I had a 4 hour lay over then then on to Cedar arriving at 6:35p.m.

GOOD-BYE = Bitter/Sweet December 16, 2020

 Good bye to Elder Gonder, and Beaten.  I left Tubingen on the train and headed to mission home in Munich on Thursday December 16.  Had a dinner, testimony meeting, and last fun times together.  I will really miss Elder Gallacher.  I then went to Munich for a very short sleep in a motel by the airport and my flight left at 7:00 a.m.on Friday December 17.   My shuttle from the motel picked me up at 4:45a.m 

Don't like my double chin. 

 Happy to get home and start going to the gym.

COUNT DOWN - 1 week left December 10,2022 Stuttgart Germany

I purchased a whole lot of chocolate.  I'm going to ship it back to the states with the help of a member who is on the military base, shipping cheaper.  I hope to share with everyone at home.  Elder Gunder, and Beeten and I are doing well.  We went to Stuttgart and visited Mercedes-Benz Museum.  We have a member that is mentally challenged but he asked us to come and visit him often.  In this picture he is wearing my overcoat and I am saying my last goodbyes.
