Sister Burbidge at the seashore

On Saturday we took the train to Egnach and walked to the seashore on the Boden See. I guess it's called Lake Constance in Switzerland, and the Boden See or Bodensee in Germany. So since we are in the Zurich Switzerland mission (which takes in a bit of southern Germany) I think I'll start calling it Lake Constance. I think it's a prettier name!

We were attending a Young Single Adult "BBQ" in Egnach, which had been scheduled at the beginning of the summer, but by the time July 25th rolled around, everyyone was on vacation! But Elder Burbidge and I went anyway, and the rainy overcast morning turned into a beautiful bright sunny day! We enjoyed watching the sailboats, ferries, swimmers, and eating our homemade bread pudding!

Lovely home in Egnach overlooking Lake Constance

Little Baby Chad

Our New Grandson, Chad Hudson Burbidge

We are grateful for the safe arrival of our new Grandson, Chad. He is so beautiful! Congratulations Barrett and Brandi, Cole and Bella. Your lives will never be the same. Your new baby brother is amazing!

Our Apartment in St.Gallen

We finally took some pictures of our Apartment in St.Gallen. We are very comfortable here, and feel fortunate to be living in such modern circumstances.

Couch and Dining Room Table

This is our living room. The "Coffee Table" can also be used as a small dining room table that can be lowered or raised by a hand crank on the side. We carry our food into this room at mealtime.

Food Preparation Area

We have everything we need in this small space where we prepare our food. It's amazing how much you can put into a compact space! We usually take turns in the kitchen since there isn't enough room for two people to turn around in!

Bedroom

Our bed fills the entire room, but there are large windows on one wall, and a triple-sized closet on another wall.

The bed can be raised up against the wall so we can set up tables and chairs for classes, meals, etc. if we ever host a large group here at the apartment.

Not much of interest here, but just in case you would like to see what our accomodations look like.......here they are!
