Angela had a reunion w/ her East German Mission (that no longer exists). It was a lot of fun to see old companions and friends and see how they're doing a decade later. We had some friends from Germany visit us this summer, so it has been a fun summer for Angela to remember her times in Germany.
(Editors note: I would not have lasted 2 years on a mission to East Germany, so I was sent to a tropical island with a fun-loving people in the Philippines. German missionaries really get a lot of respect from me.)

Aside from the spiritual experiences, learning, cultural experiences, and development that come w/ serving a mission -- my opinion is that it's one of the best marriage preparation experiences you can have.
I remember when I was dating Angela that I was impressed that Angela liked EVERY companion she had and it seems like they liked her too. So I had a guess that she'd be a pretty easy person to live with, and if I could go back in time, I'd just tell younger stupider me, that "you have no idea what you've got here... you better lock her up." [As in, put a ring on her finger ASAP, not as in other forms of locking women up].
