We enjoyed a morning at the Frankfurt Temple with Kim and Michele when they came to visit us this month. We spent every minute we could on weekends showing them as many beautiful places that we had time for. They came to a baptism with us of a sweet sister from Boliva that just joined the church. We tried to let them feel of the spirit these German people bring. The church is growing here and it is wonderful to see the missionaries get so excited about teaching the gospel to those who have been prepared to receive this glad message.



This picture is of the Jewish cemetery close to our apartment. It is situated next to the German cemetery where we have visited many times and find it very interesting. They are not supposed to put flowers on the graves but instead put small stones on the grave that represent a memory of a visit to the grave.




Just a sampling of the beautiful flowers that are still blooming along the quaint streets of some of the villages we drive through on our way to do apartment inspections. We are still amazed by the care the people of Germany take to keep their surroundings looking clean and neat.

We loved having the girls with us to share this wonderful experience we are having here in Germany. We feel we are very blessed to be here.

How fun that your girls were able to come out and visit. Were they there long. Chad has started work at his new job. Today is his second day. Our original plan was to meet him in Utah the beginning of November. Having him away makes us think we may only last her till the middle of Oct. Thank you again for letting us stay in your home while you are away! Love you guys
