Manauelle's Farewell Party

Party held at Stephen Heckman's place. 5 Americans and 9 Germans. They had a great time all enjoying the last time with Manuelle. She is the life of the party. We will miss her.

Manuelle, in the blue, is going to Birmingham England this Friday. This is in front of the Mannheim Ward Building.

Automatic Musical Instrument

This is in a Musical Museum in the Palace in Bruchsal Germany. They had dozens of them, old type phonographs, caliopy, instruments that played the piano and one that had violins inside and it played the violins.

German War Memorial

This is above Rudesheim on the Rhine River. The top statute is facing France and saying we will never let you invade us again. It is quite impressive to see and view. It is scheduled to be cleaned this coming year.

Typical Beautiful Palace on the Rhine

This beautiful palace is on the Rhine River just downstream from Mains. I believe it is in the town of Eltville.

Camping on the Neckar

These are the typical camping sites on the Neckar River.

Gondola Ride

This is riding down from the Memorial back to Rudesheim. Below are the mountainside vineyards.

Our Youth

These are the youth from Darmstadt and Heidelberg. They are a fun bunch of youth and wonderful to be around. They are upbeat and have a great sense of humor. The young sister on the far right in the green shirt is from Cameroon and will be entering the MTC in England this month. She is going to the Birmingham, England Mission. We will miss her. The young man next to her in the green shirt just returned from the Berlin Mission. The young man in the white shirt next to the post, just above these two, recently returned from the Ogden, Utah Mission. The young lady on the far right in the black jacket put this all together. She is 18 and a recent convert. Her English is absolutely wonderful. If you did not know you would think she is American.
