The missionaries were here for supper this evening, and while we were waiting for stuff to bake, Ed googled-earthed their hometowns, and focused in on their houses so we could see where they lived. One elder was from Heber City, and the other elder was from Holliday (SLC suburb). Anyway, we were talking about your missions, and Ed wanted to show them how cool Austria was (since he was able to travel with me to pick Edward up in Vienna). He google-earthed St Johann im Pongau, Austria, and we got to see some of the greatest views of the little town where Rusty spent 9 months of his life. It was incredible. I'm sorry that I have no link included in this post, but I think you have to load Google Earth into your computer first. Maybe not--I don't really know. Anyway, now I am going to have to go look up Betsey's mission addresses so I can go see the fun places where we went, when Margie and I went to pick her up in Dublin.
Anyway, you know how crazy I am for maps, and Google Earth is like having a live map. Dad spent the next hour after the elders left, looking at places in West Virginia, following rivers, checking out homes, and traveling down some of their beautiful, winding, twisty roads. I, of course, had already gone back to grading papers. -sigh-
We love you, and are thinking of you all.
Claudia and Ed
