Missionaries arriving at the chapel in Zurich. As for us, we took a dry run with our GPS last week so we would know exactly where we were going in that busy city. 
Gathering in the chapel.
Just happy to be here!
Look, Marci! We found him!
Our grandson is serving in Ukraine, and Elder Nilsson is one of his very best friends. I'm sorry, president, but I just had to give him a quick hug!
In the meeting, he and his companion, Elder Flitton, told a great member missionary story. They received a late night phone call from Canada, telling them a non-member cousin was in the hospital. Would they go visit her and give her a blessing? They did, and told her who sent them. Her daughter and children came in and because they respected their cousin, are allowing the missionaries to teach them. The missionaries had prayed not only to find people to teach, but that people would find them. It happened.
Elder Stenquist and Elder King related another member-missionary story. They met a man on the street who came up to them and called them "brothers". They had a brief word, then he was gone without their getting his name or number. A week or two went by and they really wanted to find him, and prayed that they would. Then they found him in the bahnhof (train station), and now are teaching him. He had been in touch with a member woman on the internet who told him to look up the elders. That is another great example of member missionary work and how Elder Ballard has encouraged us to use the internet.
Sister Matern prepared lunch for us . . .
. . . and President Matern helped us eat it!
Elder and Sister Kearon were such excellent teachers!
They had us in the palms of their hands every minute they were instructing us. Their messages of obedience and faith left us ready to conquer the world! Or at least spread the message in Switzerland!
Elder and Sister Larson arrived in Switzerland just a week ago, but they are already out teaching!
I can't help it! They are just so darn cute!
More great missionary faces.
The Lord's noble servants.
And we leave you with this.
Perfect.

My mom called me this morning and told me she found a blog about your mission! I was so excited, I had to come see it! Switzerland looks absolutely beautiful. My brother-in-law was there on his mission, but it's been about 8 year since then.
We love you two--you are such wonderful people!
