October 2015

 One afternoon at the Mission Home the Assistants helped President Kohler rescue a hedgehog who got all tangled up in our badminton net.

 Success!

 We were happy to welcome Elder & Sister Green to the Mission!

 Working hard at October MLC

 October Missionary Leadership Council

München Zone Training for October

 A visit to Ebnat, Switzerland--Elders Bensing and Guzzwell.

 The Ebnat Building--we learned that it as the first one built in Switzerland.

 While in Wien for Stake Conference, we stopped at the JTA Center and got to see these fine elders--Monson & Bowers--as they finished up a teaching appointment!  

Sister Parker was preparing for Waffle Night.

 The Office Elders taught us a great lesson on Member Missionary Work and invited us to help with one of their investigators.

 Goodbye to Elder McLean--we will miss you!

 And farewell Elder Surtees--we love you!

 In Innsbruck, Austria, we got to attend a wonderful exhibit and musical evening honoring this member/architect who worked on many Church Buildings.

 Here are the Sisters who helped with the evening...

 and the Elders.

 The music was great!

 Elder & Sister Hasler did a wonderful job organizing the evening.

 Our October transfer--11 wonderful new Goldens arrived in the mission!

 Dinner & Testimonies at the Mission Home that night--as well as finding out who their trainers would be and where they would serve.

 The next morning they were ready to go!

 That evening we enjoyed dinner with our outgoing group--ten Elders and one Sister.

 We hate to lose these missionaries, but we are excited for what lies ahead!

And how excited we were to receive this picture of our son Tanner who arrived in his mission this week as well.  Here he is with President and Sister Ivory in Romania.  The next day he flew to his first area in Moldova.  We love you, Tanner!
