This week was a relatively slow and easy one here in Frankfurt (we need a few of those once in a while). We did some catch up in the office and visited the Center here in Frankfurt. The couple serving here left 2 weeks ago and we were pleased to announce that a new couple would be coming this week. They are a great group of YSAs and are anxious to welcome them.
Last week we had our monthly cultural trip with the couples. We went to the town, Wartburg, where Bach went to school and studied and lived during his younger years. We saw his school, home and museum. We also went to the castle where Martin Luther went into hiding and where he lived in one small room for 12 years as he translated the Bible. It was all quite interesting and a beautiful place.
Note the size of the doors along this street. Not sure of the significance but it was quite funny.

This week we were downtown Frankfurt at a famous "woodcarver" shop. There were some amazing creations there, but the most interesting was to find Moroni and the gold plates. Obviously the missionaries do ALOT of shopping in there.
The city of Frankfurt is really unique in that they have preserved the old and added the new and they are pleasently intermixed. There are many sky scrapers downtown where the postwar restored historical buildings are located. This is an example of such.
We are truly delighted to be serving in such an interesting and beautiful country.
