Despite what this blog implies, we actually do some work in between bike rides and exploring. Here's a sample of what Rand has helped missionaries with during the first half of our mission. (I keep thinking there's another word for what we're doing - service, projects, unpaid employment...)
And here's a sample of what I'm doing - call and release letters and certificates, ordering badges for Church Service Missionaries around the area. These are the main countries whose letters we initiate; we also serve the Scandinavian countries, UK and Cape Verde.
Our kitchen sink was stopped up so I washed dishes in the bathroom sink; which really wasn't that different from the kitchen.
Can't remember what I was doing online but they needed me to prove I'm not a robot and look what the words were! Did they know I was in Germany?
When we visited one of our Primary student families, they showed us a wheel their children use when they're having interpersonal problems. Might work for senior missionary spats too. :) JK.
Our neighbors asked us to water their plants and bring in their mail while they're out of town. This catalog caught my eye and I love that it has some older models. Makes me want to start a new look, if they weren't so expensive.
Still indoors, look what our local drug store has - a changing stand with free diapers. Wow!
The Black Forest Museum in Triberg was amazing! This is what people dress up in for Fasnet (Mardi Gras). And we think American Halloween is wild...
Lastly Rand and I went to a marvelous souvenir shop. Check it out and let me know if you want us to bring or ship something home for you.
