It's a Besonderes Life: How does one live without Internet?

Well guys, this is really it.

We have picked up our successors, the Neugebauers, about 72 hours ago and have been busy showing them all there is to see and do here. As a consequence, we moved out of our apartment and into one we have set up and furnished for a couple who haven't yet arrived but is not furnished with WiFi. Sunday, although we had some contact at church it wasn't conducive to getting off a letter and yesterday the Internet wasn't working at the Center. Thanks to a good technical brother, it's working today and so we can dash off a real quickie.

Today has been absolutely wonderful with a zone training meeting that gave us a chance to say goodbye to most of the elders and sisters we have known who are still in the zone and tonight at our language courses, we've had the opportunity to say goodbye to lots of others we've gotten to know and love well.

Tomorrow is our final Institute Council meeting which we'll let the Neugebauers really represent us, but it will also be a good chance to bow out as we co-teach our last lesson with the replacements and our good brother from the International Ward. It will be a nice way to end the mission and then the next day we're on the train to Prague for a couple of days. Saturday night we'll arrive in Budapest to meet a Senior Couple with whom we worked in our Single Adult Ward back in Highland and they're going to show us around there for a couple of days. Then it's back to Wien where we're hopefully going to be completely packed and ready to hit the airport for a long 17 hour flight. It'll be 7 PM for you guys but 3AM the next day for us so be tolerant. We'll see if our luggage makes it through Frankfurt, Denver and then eventually to Salt Lake.

We have absolutely loved it here and will probably look forward to doing something similar again in the future. No pictures this time but we've taken tons of them today, mostly of faces dear to us.

Mom says Hi and we'll be seeing you all soon. There is an outside chance that we might dash something off from Budapest this Sunday if we can't find anything else to do that night.

Love you all, keep the faith and we'll be seeing you soon.
