Germany

Who would have ever thought that the  word "beyond" in our name of "ldsenglandandbeyond" meant we would be going to Germany!  We had no clue!!  But it has been a good change for us.  We have plenty to do now.  We are enjoying the contact we have with the other missionary couples.  We replaced Elder and Sister Rose - who took our place in England, and they had replaced Elder and Sister Taylor who are now home.  So it has been somewhat confusing to the young Elders and Sisters, but they seem to be OK with it all.
