General Conference Lunch

Carol fixed a lunch for the missionaries and young adults between General Conference sessions on Sunday. This is on the patio outside the Institute. The property next door shows the remnants of the pilings for portable buildings beloning to an International School.

Burg Eltz

As you can see it is another overcast day in Germany. This is the fortress castle north of Frankfurt am Main. The site and its surroundings form a symmetrical unit. The river Eltz flows around three sides of an elliptical rock crag, the foundation of the whole castle, and on this, towering up to 70 metres above the river, is the fortress. The builders took into account the natural conditions of the oval crag and this explains the strange shapes and floor plans of some of the rooms

Heidelberg Church Building

This is looking southwest towards the Church building. The parking lot is out of stone blocks, as required in Germany. The darker lines in the stone blocks marks a parking space. The Institute is on the other side of the building, which is an exact duplicate of this side of the building (minus the parking lot) The Institute is where the other entrance would have been.

German Ward

This is a little get together with the German ward after the block schedule. Once or twice a year they will all have a potluck dinner in the cultural hall. Brother and Sister Henckel in the bottom left, with the Frosts and their two children next to them. We are helping the Frosts renovate their new home.

Old Speyer Dom

This church is one of he oldest in Germany. It was started in 1036 and has been added onto and destroyed and rebuilt over the centuries. It has several different architectural styles. In beauty if can't even compare to the Church of the Protestation, but is an amazing building.

Stained Glas Windows

These are examples of the stained glass windows in the Church of the Protestation in Speyer

Speyer

This is Sisters Mueller, Jensen and Moser across the street from the Church of the Protestation in downtown Speyer. It was built in the late 1800's. It is going through a refurbishing and retrofit.
