Our last day of missionary service was Friday 21 February. LAST times weigh heavily on the soul as you move through them. Everyone has been so kind, with so many hugs and tears and kind words.
We left the office in the early afternoon, went home and finished packing for a one week trip to Switzerland to say goodbye to friends there. By 2:30 we were on our way south.
The drive was fairly uneventful. Freeway all the way, through woods and fields and towns off on either side. We drove straight to Basel and to Peter and Carla Huber’s home near there in a town called Nuglar, arriving at about 6:30. Carla welcomed us. Peter is in Bangladesh for Church work. He’s the District President, traveling 2-3 weekends/month, mostly in Turkiye. We had a nice visit with Carla. They are such wonderful people.
In the morning we got up and went to visit John’s dear friend, Rosemarie Meyer near Basel. We found her there with her son and daughter-in-law. Rosemarie was John’s neighbor and a recent convert to the church 50 years ago in Reinach.
We walked to a nearby pizza parlor for lunch together.
This is a dear woman, who will soon turn 90!
Spending time with her today was a gift. We were all much happier after the visit!
