One of our priests had his sixty year jubilee Mass in Bann, a village that was next to our village last time we lived here. That Sunday Isaac was scheduled to serve in our parish church as an altar server. We were torn between wanting to go in two different directions for Mass, so we split up. I took Isaac, Hannah, and Bobby with me to our parish while everyone else went to the jubilee Mass. We met up afterwards for the reception and ran into this precious nun from our past.
Swester Batina was the headmistress at the kindergarten that the girls went to from 2008-2010. She remembered us and the girls and was so sweet. She doesn't speak a lick of English, but we were able to converse with her and catch up all in German. This was just amazing for us because we had heard she'd retired but really had no way of contacting her. It was one of those moments you just keep thinking about all day.
Here are some pictures from the jubilee.
