Our VERY busy Weekend

YSA Temple Trip

We left early Saturday morning for the Freiberg Temple with a large group of YSA, teachers and leaders.

 The bus left from the Tiergarten Ward building at 7:00 AM and we arrived at the temple about 10:00 AM.  Some of our group did baptisms and others attended endowment, sealing and initiatory sessions.

 This is a picture of Sara (our cute YSA Student Council President) giving instructions and information about the schedule for the day at the temple. 

 Our Group

 Hal and I were able to attend 2 endowment sessions.

After the temple sessions, our group enjoyed lunch together and then boarded the bus to return to Berlin and arrived home at 7:00 PM.  It was a lovely day at temple!

YSA Sunday

The next day was our last YSA Sunday.  We were asked to share our testimonies in the Sacrament Meeting and then we served about 60 - 65 people lunch. 

 Our Menu:

Ham 

German potatoes in cream sauce

Carrot and Cabbage Salad

Garlic Bread

Pumpkin Squares with cream cheese frosting

 The kids and adults all seemed to enjoy the food.

 The Cooks

 Some of the clean up crew working after the lunch!

We love these young people!

 "The Piano Guys" Fireside

Sunday evening we were privileged to have the opportunity to attend a special fireside for missionaries and friends.  "The Piano Guys" were in Berlin on tour and were kind enough to present this fireside.  They each spoke and shared spiritual experiences and testimonies, answered question and performed three beautiful musical numbers:

  O Come, O Come Emanuel

Bring Him Home

Silent Night

They were very humble, spiritual and personable and it was a thrill to hear them as well as to have an opportunity to meet them!
