October 3, German Holiday

Working in the office is very enjoyable, we have a large window that faces North so we watch the storms roll by each day. In Germany you can experience all four seasons in one morning.

We are busy putting together training material for the newly German translated ARP program to be presented to Stake Presidents and Bishops. Our first visit will be to the Nuremberg stake and the Munich stake. We found the thoughts we needed in our morning scripture study, and our friend and office neighbor the mission Psychologist happened to show us a book he brought from the MTC which included a guide for Bishops that has already been church approved... we feel directed in our efforts as we prepare to present the program to German speaking countries.






The office is closes for all German Holidays, in fact William our director always has an interesting sight for us to see and visit. This is a picture of a one those experiences. This tree is a Cedar of Lebanon planted in 1820, the year of Joseph Smith's first vision. These trees are beautiful and their cones grow pointing up.


This is the Burg Ronneburg just 45 minutes from our apt. On this weekend they were having a medieval celebration. Many booths and many people dresses in costume for the occasion. We saw sword fighting, magic act, and listened to several different musical instruments. We loved the view from the castle tower and had it all to ourselves.
