Once again we started with training only this time by Elder & Sister Nelson.

We had lunch and all found the street car. The Kreuzkirche (1333) is viewed

in the background of the oldest school. We visited the New Town Hall (1913)

among other historical sites. The view from the top of the Town Hall

is incredible. The sites were so beautiful not too many photos of the

missionaries were taken. Oops!

Many of our senior missionaries gathered in Berlin to spend the day together.

We started with Brother Gruse (Berlin Institute Director) giving us

instruction followed by lunch. Public transportation was the easiest way to get

around so that is what we did. We visited the Brandenburg Gate followed by

the Jewish Memorial and then Check-Point Charlie. The weather cooperated

most of the day and as we were finishing, the thunder and lightening storm hit.

It was a memorable day, fun day.

VISA Arrived

Sister Jordan from the Oldenburg District has been waiting patiently for

her VISA since early December. We have loved having her

serve in Berlin and Dresden but now she can serve where she was called,

Salt Lake City Visitors' Center Temple Square!

Mittweida Missionaries

We stopped off to see Elder McCallister and Elder Colton in Mittweida on our way back to Berlin. We enjoyed a little "specialized training" and were back on the road.

Schwarzenberg Missionaries

Schwarzenberg is a beautiful city in the southern part of our mission. After meeting with members in the branch we met Elder Nethercott and Elder Perry for "specialized training". They were very gracious as we conducted an unannounced apartment inspection. They passed with flying colors!

It was a lovely drive to Neubrandenburg. We thoroughly enjoyed the time

we had with Elder Gessati. The Spirit was strong even as Elder

Gessati spoke in Italian and Elder Papeo translated it into German for the

members. It was again translated into English for those of us wearing

a headset. How wonderful to have a trilingual missionary and modern technology. Elder Papeo is the only missionary from Italy in the mission and the Lord new he would be needed in the Neubrandenburg Zone.
