Our 89 New Missionaries! On December 31 we traveled to Spangdahlem Air Force Base for a baptismal interview. While there an F-16 pilot and his daughter gave us a tour. On the way home from Spangdahlem we stopped at the picturesque village of Bernkastel-Kues. This building has pictures of all the Disney princesses painted in the windows.
