What AND who we will miss as we leave Beautiful Germany......

Pumpkin Carving

YSA from all over Germany met in September

Young Single Adults (Jungealleinstehenderwachsene) which was our initial calling after leaving the Freiberg Temple.  We have learned to love each and everyone of them!  They have to be so very strong and stick together through thick and thin.  We love their kindness, testimonies, willingness to help, and their love of fun times!

Freiberg Temple

Frankfurt (Friedrichsdorf) Temple

Both of these Temples are now closed for renovation.  We love them both but are especially sad to be leaving Germany before the Freiberg Temple opens again in late spring or early summer.  We loved our time there and will always cherish memories of our new friends we found from Poland, Romania, Hungary, Czech Republic, Germany, and other countries.  What special members they are and so dedicated to serving their ancestors.  We also loved spending time with our friends in the Freiberg Ward (Gemeinde)

Members of the Michelstadt Branch - Christmas Party

We have so many pictures of our new friends who are part of all of the wards and branches we have been attending while on our mission.  This is just the most recent - from this past weekend which was our last day in Michelstadt.  Notice the American Football - a gift from Clog America when they came and performed last July.  It was fun to watch the children try to figure out how to "bounce" it.

All of the other missionaries serving with us here - old and young. We love them all and these pictures just represent a few of them.
