Frankfurt Temple Pictures

First view 

My daughter in law asked for more photos, so here are the photos of the temple from yesterday's temple trip.  We filled the room with about 40 senior missionaries who work at the two offices here: in Frankfurt and Bad Homburg, which is 15 km from us, but quite near the temple.  We were joined by some couples working with YSA in more outlying areas.  Names were provided by one of the missionaries.



  After the session, we all went to a Mongolian Buffet for dinner.  

There I met the Merrills, who are serving their 8th mission!  He is a doctor and they have served several times in Africa (which they both LOVE, and the South Pacific.  Very interesting stories about various worms and the missionaries they infested.  Well, at least I found them interesting.  He even had photos!  Great dinner conversation.  I also met Sister Foster who used to work in Church History, so we also had a lot to talk about.

As always, beautiful temple grounds

Prettiest Garden in Germany so far

E/S Swift: we share a car and drove over with them : Lovely People.

We have heard that the Church has purchased adjacent land and will move a street (like they did in Kirtland), enlarge the temple and build a new chapel with a cultural hall next door.  The current chapel is too small and has no way to expand.  Probably some additional parking, too, which is sorely needed.
