Are you Kidding?

The last time we got a reaction from our grandsons on our blog was when we posted photos of the rat that took up residence with us. We think they will react to this post.

We have been asked to assume the responsibilities of the CES couple who are leaving this month. We traveled with them to attend a seminary/institute class and stopped on the way in the city of Kutna Hora. One of the busiest and most productive cities in medieval Bohemia thanks to it's silver deposits. Now however, it is famous for a massive cathedral and an Ossuary or the Bone Church.Yes, those are real skulls and bones behind Elder Robbins!!!

The story is that soil from Golgotha was brought to this area and everyone wanted to be buried in the "holy" soil. Thousands were buried in this area and eventually someone with alot of time cleaned 40,000 of those skeltons and sorted and arranged their bones!!!

There are pyramids of sorted bones like this in four corners of the church. We would like to be here when these guys are resurrected!




Amazing!!! Waldo must be in there somewhere!

These chaps must have met a brutal demise.

This chandelier was constructed out of every bone found in the body...

and a coat of arms made from bones.

Talk about irony. Thousands of peoples' bones handled, sorted, decorating a church and made into chandliers and coat of arms and this is what is written on the admission ticket:

"You are entering a pious space. Conserve, please, respekt to the dead. Do not touch the bones."

Are you kidding!?!


On to a live subject. The Andersons, the new office couple, have arrived and now we will have time to be the part-time CES Couple. Jack of all calls, but master of none.

The European Auditor Couple, the Wilkinsons, from Germany came to town and we all went out to dinner. Small world as a member of the church: Elder Wilkinson served 6 years in the Stake Presidency with Arnie Augustin, Amber's father!
