At Home in Bielefeld



Dear Family,

I had something really cool happen the other day! I was just looking at a map of our area here in Bielefeld when I discovered something really interesting. I saw a little city called Blomberg which is out in the edge of our ward boundaries here when I though "wait a minute! we have ancestors called Von Blomberg." I was wondering if they came from there, so I was looking at familysearch this morning and saw that some of the Von Blombergs are from Magdeburg (a little farther away from here), but others of them are from Minden, which is just up the river from us. We actually go to Minden every week for our district meetings. Then I found a couple of them who are from a town called Detmold, which is in our area, and we have been there a couple of times! Anyway, I

didn´t find anyone from Blomberg, but what was just as good was finding people from other places right near here. That was a way cool feeling! You are the best. I love you!

LOVE,

Lizzy

Mission: Hamburg, Germany



I'm assigned to the Germany Hamburg Mission! I go to the Provo MTC on March 10th and then on to Germany about eight weeks later. I'm really excited! I would love to hear from you when I'm in Germany! I will return home sometime in fall 2011.

If I'm not mistaken, Grandpa Calder spent part of his mission in Germany, as did Great Great Grandfather Eyring. Others of our ancestors did too, I think.
