Problems Americans can have outside of the USA.

Well. . . a few minutes ago Bro. Millet rang my doorbell.  He is the overseer of the Missionary Apt. Bldg. where we stay.  He asked me if I could go talk to a lady in English, because he doesn’t do English.  I went downstairs, and found a 38-40 year old lady who was frustrated with trying to get around Europe.    She had two high school kids in tow and they had not found their lodging last night until 3 a.m. this morning.  And their map and GPS told them the Swiss temple was in Thun, not Zollikofen.  Gutsy people. . . (No language skills at all!)  They’re kind of at the mercy of the locals!  I wouldn’t have done what they did (at least I wouldn’t go to China, because I don’t do Chinese!)   I probably wouldn’t even go to Russia or Greece, Stacy!  

Anyway, she started to cry when she found there was an English speaker here.  I took her to the temple hostel, got them fixed up and took them to a little restaurant.  They’ll come to the temple tomorrow.  Mom said, “I hope the girls remembered to bring their recommends!”   She’s right!

Anyway. . . let’s count our blessings!  And always be prepared (…huh!  Is that ever possible?)  Luv, Dad.
