We had the sister missionaries over for dinner. Here is Sister Christensen (Salt Lake) and Sister Hengel (Boise) with lovely Marilynn.                                                  Then we brought Elder and Sister Bott to Frankfurt for training. They are located in Durres Albania and were called by the Mission President to help with the financial and membership records. The Botts are from Brigham City, Utah and Elder Bott descends from Gerhard Jensen. So that make us third cousins. Then it turns out that Sister Bott descends from Olivia Andersen--but not grandma Andersen, but her Aunt Olivia--for whom she was named. So we are all related!

 The Eyre's had birthdays so we got together with several senior missionaries for a birthday party.
 The Ivins from Croatia joined the Botts from Albania for a week of training in Frankfurt; they have both been called by their respective missions to help with the financial records in their missions, and basically they are doing what we would do, so they kind of work under us. This is part of the training. Here Sergio Rocha is providing MLS training to them. 
 Here is picture in the office of the MSR team which includes Elder and Sister Madsen with Elder and Sister Botts.
 Still more training. Jeanclaude and Carol Van Tonder are sharing lunch with the Botts and Ivins. Sister Staubach is also involved and was doing the training on membership.
 This is a good picture of Sister and Elder Ivins working on their computer.
 This is Sister and Elder Bott getting help from Sergio,
 Here is a picture of Elder and Sister Ivins
 Now we have Sister and Elder Bott.
 This is Friday night dinner at our apartment. We have Dave, Elder and Sister Bott, Sister and Elder Ivins; Marilynn took the picture. We have all had a great week together.
