We have spent the past week in Dresden, Germany with about 25 seminary district coordinators and their wives from all over Eastern Europe. We have had so much fun. They are so dear to us already. We are looking at the future of the church in these countries and it is incredibly bright. These are some of the best teachers & gospel scholars I have ever seen. We loved Dresden & our temple session in Freiberg this morning was tender & insightful. A testimony meeting with heartfelt love for this gospel was treasured & felt by everyone there.
We Americans (there are just4 of us) planned to sing "star spangled banner " for the talent show on July 4 th but the evening belonged to the Russians. They regaled us with Russian folk songs & dances, a very funny acting out of a Russian fairy tale & stories from the Berlin mission president, who was the previous CES area director. Everyone loves him & his charming wife.
We are heading back to our cozy Moscow home now with grateful hearts & a clearer vision of what god wants us to do to help in some small way to buil His kingdom.
