Apostles Bednar and Ballard visit Germany


Elder Patrick and Jennifer Kearon are in the middle : Hallstroms on the right

We heard both of them speak at the Women's meeting, Tuesday Sept 9, at the Offenbach chapel. 
Pres Koch, Frankfurt Temple President, is in the middle.  He is the grandpa of the best Elder in the mission, Elder Reiser, IMHO.


During the week, the apostles had meetings elsewhere, including our Frankfurt building and office building

Elder Ballard with Elder Teixiera, Area President.  Behind him are Craig Hunt, Europe Area DTA and Elder Foote, YSA and Social Media Specialist for Europe
In our Frankfurt Chapel.  Elder Stay fixed four bikes for the missionary on the front row 5th from the left in the green tie.  And we fed him homemade chicken soup, potato salad and rolls tonight for dinner

On Saturday, Elder Ballard came to our Senior Missionary Zone Conference at the Frankfurt chapel for dinner and took the time to speak to EACH couple.  Elder Stay and I gave our farewell talk : a powerpoint of some of our favorite Humanitarian projects


And, on Sunday, we had a special Stake Conference at the Stadthalle in Offenbach at which Elder Ballard spoke.  I am sitting just to the left of the edge of that photo.
We know and love many of the people in these photos.
Yes, German women of all ages do occasionally wear dirndls to church.  And some men wear beautifully cut Bavarian suits.
  


 
 I am just out of the picture, here on the left.

What a great sendoff from our mission!
