Austin - The Marine!

I just got an e-mail from Stephanie and they had received a letter from Austin and she said he had had 2 wisdom teeth pulled and got bronchitis, and was homesick as were a lot of other recruits. He was doing well with his training. So, I'm asking all of you to write him a letter, and to remember him in your prayers. We can make a big difference in his life. Love all of you, you are wonderful. Mother Grandma and Gpa.
-e-mail me at momanddadbowen@hotmail.com for his address :)

Germany!

Hi, Everyone! We made it to New York and Frankfurt, Germany without a hitch. Our son, Mark and Granddaughter, Bryonna picked us up at the airport. They have a lovey 6 bedroom house in a small village about 30 minutes from Kaiserslautern. It looks like , Sound of Music countryside. It's gorgeous. The many trees are turning to fall colors. It is getting cold. It was 28 degrees yesterday morning. Saturday we went to the Frankfurt temple and did an endownment session and a sealing session. The gardens are very pretty. We walked to a neaby Chineese restauan for lunch. We walked two miles to the next village to the bakery only to find they closed at 12 noon on Mondays. We traded $100 dollars for $72.59 Euros. I'm going to the local Family History Center tonight at the ward bldg. My g grandfather Jacob Peter Sr. Copple was born 1757 Koppel Schwarz Wald, Black Fores..Germany He was the son of John Nicholas Koppel. This area is about one hour from here, so we are hoping to find the area or house where they lived. Love to all of you Henry and Nancy
