Senior Conference Fall 2014

We spent a few days in Munich last week attending our last (sob) Senior conference. We travelled there on a bus and had tickets on a train for the return. However, there was a country-wide train strike that weekend so we had to make other arrangements to get home (riding with the Lees).

We had a wonderful time meeting with the other missionary couples. It is good to see so much Gospel maturity and people who love the Lord and their fellow man. We were the longest serving of the missionaries there (except for one couple back for their 3rd time), but still almost the youngest in age. The only ones younger than Sister B were the Kohler family - Mission President.

We had some great discussions on how to do the work and work the missionaries and the members, and also a very inspiring testimony meeting Friday evening. Earlier on Friday, we had a tour of Munich. I will include some of those pictures as well.

We were in the upper level of a double-decker bus. It swayed a bit on the road.

Elder Nielsen was there. It was good to see him again.

We were all missionaries who served in the Central German (Düsseldorf) mission under President Walter Kindt (around 1969-1972).
Here is one of our group meals, very wonderfully provided by local members.
