Lets go to the temple! We gathered the sisters, and left for our Fall Temple Trip. There were 8 total including the two kinder. We rented the van so that all could go. This is always one of the highlights for our little gemeinde (branch).

This group of sisters were so happy to feel a "little piece" of heaven as they arrived at the temple. Sister Kuper, on the far right, brought the first of her family names: Her Mother, Father, and Grand-parents names. This took a little encouragement, but that's a story for our newsletter.

The Freiberg Temple spire with the Angel Moroni stood out so beautiful against the blue sky, that it brings to mind the joy of salvation waiting for all who will listen and "hear" the sound of his trumpet---Come--Come--to the House of the Lord.

Sister Klee finished the last two names in her family line on this temple trip. She never does like to smile for photos, but she was very happy to accomplish this work for her family. She now feels, and IS sealed to some of her kindred. She bears a thankful testimony to have this work completed.

We said good-night to this beautiful temple, and will see it again soon.

We said "good-bye" to another favorite Elder early one morning, before normal wake-up time! He was transferred to Heidelberg. We will miss you Elder Puriri, you have served the Lord well in this part of His vineyard. We will see you again when you come home...we will be there by then too.

Herr Stoye is an investigator and came to Erfurt to listen to General Conference. Sister Klee and Kuper are both wonderful members. Sister Klee was the sister we helped to return to activity. She is now one of our strongest members. The good-looking fellow on the end is...??? Yes! I know who he is!

General Conference Week-end was wonderful. We travel to Erfurt about 1 1/2 hours away to listen to our prophet. This is the group of missionaries who are in the "English" broadcast room. Most of them like to listen in their native tongue. We love these wonderful Sisters and Elders, and we drink in all of the wonderful messages from our leaders. Our vessels yearn for this time.

We had a wonderful visit with our friends Donna and Kent Jones. They were over here with a tour group. We traveled to Weimar and spent an all too short visit with them, but it was wonderful seeing their faces, AND SPEAKING ENGLISH. We all stayed at the Hotel Elephant which is located right on the market square of Old Town Weimar.
