Having myself served a two-year miossion for the Church in 1975-1977 in southern Germany, when there were 20,000 missionaries out in the field, I can say that this is an amazing thing to see.

LOL you’re just a kid Jeff. I was in Denmark from 1960-63. First six was in Aabenraa very near the German border.

Und auch ich Deutsch gelernt, während das Leben in Aabenraa Dänemark für sechs Monate im Jahr 1960.

Baptized the family of Nazi Alf Kroll who had just been released from prison in England. He himself never joined. Boy those discussions only fifteen years after the war with a Nazi POW were very interesting to say the least. As a kid of 19 I had no clue although my dad had been an ammunition truck driver in southern Germany 1944-45. He never really wanted to talk much about the war. His division rescued Dachau.

Next time you are in Southern Utah on Highway 89 in Mount Carmel (Orderville), stop in and say hello and I’ll try to revive my fifty year old German. Google translate is a nice thing about the internet.
