Church in Germany

Last Sunday we had an opportunity to go to sacrament meeting at a small branch right across the border of Germany and Switzerland. We crossed over an old wooden bridge over the Rhine River into Germany. First time in Germany for me! Brett was excited to see so many familiar faces there. It was different than the norm chapel. We went into a bank building up to the second floor and there was the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints ( in German though). It was pretty neat. The members were very welcoming and excited to see Brett again.

Brett introduced me to his good friend Brother Titz aka John Wayne. He looks very much like him and probably as big as him as well. He has a friendly grandpa way about him and cares about Brett very much. It was fun to see such a small part of the church still so full of faith.

It is weird but as soon as we crossed into Germany prices dropped for things such as ice cream. It was a nice summer day so we were tempted to just by one on the way to the train. We are on vacation right? But we kept the Sabbath holy, we'll just have to go back for some ice cream later. We saw a beautiful park with very large trees and the sun was shining through the branches. It was rather dream-like. We enjoyed our Sunday in Germany for sure.
