This is my third try.  If I am going to be posting blogs, something had better give.  It keeps dumping me.
I can't even remember what I wrote, so I start again.
First this is Geegi.  She is a beautiful young convert from Mongolia.  She is as beautiful inside as outside.  She is from a successful family.  She joined the church in Mongolia and is trying to make her way in the world.  She is 29 and looks about 21.  She has two desires.  When the young elder lifted her up out of the water at her baptism she thought, "I want to marry a man just like him."  She also has a desire to find a worthy young priesthood holder who will take her to the temple.  Well Austria is not the place.  We know of numerous, beautiful worthy daughters of our Father in Heaven who have the same desire.  The worthy young men are very small in numbers.

She comes to our apartment for keyboard and English lessons.  She desires to go to BYU.  We are trying to help her with that one.

This next picture is one we captured in Puch.  If you look closely at the close to the top in the cleft, you can see Sleeping Beauty's castle, entwined with growth.

This wall is made from trees, clipped very close together.  It encloses a garden, and allows in filtered light.  This is in Bad Reichenhall, Germany.  We are anxious to see it when all is in bloom this spring.  There are also beautiful gardens around it.

This home was built by an Italian in the 19th century.  It also is in Bad Reichenhall.

Yesterday we went into the old city.  It was a beautiful day and we thought maybe we would meet someone and give them a pass along card or Buch Mormon.  No such luck, but here is an old church at the end of the narrow street of interest.,

And we will close with Auf Wedersehen.  And Norm at the end of a hard day.  I get to do this because I am the one writing the blogs.  Love to you all from Austria.
Now we are headed into the Alps to a dinner appointment Tshusch!
