Vistors from Austria!

If you asked my kids who have been their favorite missionaries, they will all say, no question, Elder's Husz and Sitauti.  They were a very unique combination of missionaries for little old Burlington about 14 years ago.  Elder Husz was from Austria and Elder Sitauti was from Tonga.  There was even an article in our paper about the two of them. They were just alot of fun.  Well, here is Elder Georg Husz, many years later, with his wife Barbara.  They've been married about a year, and are here visiting friends from the mission field.  Then they will be off to Salt Lake City and New York City.  It was sure fun to catch up with them at the Grimnes' home.


I really enjoyed meeting Barbara.  The two of them seem like a perfect couple!  They've known each other most of their lives, but didn't really get together until a couple years ago.  I asked Georg what took him so long, and he said "Do you want to know the truth?  She always had another boyfriend!" 


Barbara served a mission in Germany.  Georg now works as an accountant for Austrian Airlines.  So he can travel for cheap, but can't seem to take the time off to do it!  Notice the wedding ring on Barbara's right hand.  That's how they are worn in Europe.  Ring on the left hand for engaged, right hand for married.
Georg has been in the Stake High Council for a few years, and Barbara just got called to be a counselor in the Primary.

 Here's the gang at the  Grimnes home, including the Richesons and Thurmonds.

Well, I wish I could have been there. I remember when his parents came and visited us right after his mission and his mom asked if you were pregnant. She was so embarrased!
