Gathering with the Missionaries is the BEST!

 


We had an Area Meeting with the missionaries in the
North and South Zones around the city of Berlin.  Any
of the missionaries who lived within 90 minutes
were invited to come.  
Elder Palmer and Elder Gerard were the visiting authorities.
It was an awesome day.

Baptism of Ariel Mugabe
1 March 2026

Sister Wyatt, Brother Agnero, Ariel, and Sister Schubert

The water in the font was more warm - not toasty warm but
doable.  Someone figured out the hot water tank...


We drive by the University of Berlin on our way
to the Dahlam Church building


And a special parting thought...
Of course, Elder Stephens has a rigorous 
exercise routine daily while I am sleeping!

The weather is starting to warm up after one of
the worst winter's in 20 years here in Berlin.  So,
we do plan to walk in the mid-day or evening.

Office Senior Missionary Work

  This is Gary in his office at the Berlin Mission Offices located at Zerbster Strasse 42 This is Louise's desk space.  I use my laptop more than the desktop but both are available. This is the lobby of the mission office.   This tree is located just outside of our balcony window.   These are some of the packages that families have mailed to their missionaries.  All packages are delivered to the Mission Office and then we distribute them at  Zone Conference. More packages Shopping Carts require a coin to unlock the baskets from each other. Once a customer returns the basket to the rack, the coin is returned. In this grocery store, there is a cart escalator from the  parking garage into the store.   Gary at Edeka - just finished shopping. There is no time to bag groceries at the checkout stand. So, we put them back in our basket and take them to  our car where we then load them into reusable bags.   This is Checkpoint Charl...

Charlottenburg Palace and Christmas Market

Image
  Christmas Markets and Palaces are the best places to visit while in Germany in December.  We chose to visit the Charlottenburg Palace and Christmas Market this week.  It was so much fun!   The vaulted ceilings, chandeliers, marble floors and decorations are amazing. Cherubs Paintings and Vases Every room has a fireplace.  I'm sure the servants had to light them every single day in order to keep the palace warm for the royalty. A tribute to the prince... Gary on the grand staircase! Upper floor of the castle looking out toward the square and Christmas Market. Soldier helmet Decorative helmet - gold My Lenkersdorfer ancestors hail from this Prussian empire.
