SPRING IN GERMANY

During the past 2 weeks we have enjoyed a glorious transformation here from the cold and grey to  sunny days and blossoms and green everywhere.  We have a 3 sq. mile old cemetary across the street where we go for our daily walk and it is now so green with trees in bloom and freshly planted flowers.  Fresh cuts flowers are also plentiful, especially the tulips.  The Frankfurt temple grounds are also so lovely now.



This picture is from our balcony with our new pansies.  We love our "European neighborhood" and enjoy the skyline in the distance.
We have had another wonderful week and been blessed with miracles along the way.  The Lord's hand is so evident in the work here.  Friday we went to the Frankfurt temple with about 15 other missionary couples.  It is a very different and beautiful temple and it was a peaceful and uplifting evening.





We love the times we have visiting the Centers for Young Adults.  This week we went to the Mainz Center about an hour outside of Frankfurt.  It was a fun and international group and the couple managing the Center so devoted and enthused.  This is where the real rewards are evident for these wonderful young single adults.
