Old friends found!!
I am really loving the internet tonight and, more specifically, blogspot!!!! I just followed a link and found another old friend that I haven't heard anything about in years!! I reconnected with another friend a few days ago and that was so fantastic!! It's been about 6 years since I had contact with her. I love finding out where everyone is, how they are doing and what they have done in life. There are always surprizes and they've all been good, so far. I think I'll go see if I can find anyone else!!

We found a cousin of Chris's that they hadn't heard from in over 15 years. I have never met her and she found us by trying to find Chris' grandmother doing google searches. I had wrote about her funeral on my blog so she was able to leave a comment on my blog and now we are all back in touch with her. My blog has been a true blessing to us in many ways. I love it.
Hi Jane,
of course I remember you. Darilyn talked about your brother and your family a lot and I listened. You were in our stake too of course. I am glad you dropped by my blog. I agree - it is fun to re-connect and see what others are doing. Love to tell you the story of how I had so many of the "Brethren" at my reception. The picture is actually missing four others - the temple president for the Frankfurt Temple - he and his wife were there too. I lived just 10 minutes from the temple at that time and the ward house is on the temple grounds. I worked for the Western Europe Area Presidency in Germany at that time. Since I was young, I babysat a lot too for the Brethren while they were traveling missions etc. So, being so far from home for all of us, (except Elder Uchtdorf) when I got married, they all came. They were kind of like family for me, since only my mom and sister made it over. Elder Bruce D. Porter and his wife Susan are missing too. (He was serving in the Eastern Europe Area Presidency) Working for these incredible men and meeting their families as well, was a choice experience that I will always treasure. Hope that wasn't too long. Have a happy New Year. Or as we say in German - a good "slide" into the New Year.
Nope, not too long at all!! It is a wonderful story and what a blessing it is to have been able to have such close contact!!! How did you end up in Germany?
