Mission Conference - Stuttgart Germany November 23, 2022

 Arrived in Tubingen Germany and meet my companions, Elder Gonder, and Elder Beeten. Back to a familiar apartment, where there is a piano.  We went to a Mission Conference in Stuttgart.   We had thanksgiving dinner with some members, who are American and we got to have turkey and all the fixings  

Elder Gallacher and I have the most transfers in our zone with only one more to go.  We are sitting on the most chairs

Mission Conference 

Transfer Next Week - Headed back to Tubingen Germany

 Last Days in Switzerland.  Saying good bye to members, and other Missionaries.  I really am going to miss Elder Gallacher.  He has been a good friend since the MTC.  I am very grateful I have had him as a companion.   I feel a little sad that I have to leave this area where the members are so strong, the temple is close, and I like my companionship.  My visa for Switzerland has gone over the 90 day limit so I will spend my last transfer in Tubingen, Germany as a trio or threesome. 

Elder Gallacher and I did some serve for members, cleaned up their yard but also had some fun.

Diemtigen Switzerland - Home of John Kunz

So on P-day I had a cool thing happen. Elder Gallacher and I planed to travel to Thun by train with the sister missionaries.  Kind of by accident we took a different train line back home and we went through Diemtigen.  I felt it was a blessing because this is my last week in Switzerland before transfers and I am excited to say I stopped at the village where my Great, Great Grandpa Kunz was born.  Being with a group and time being short we did not have time to go very far into town.  I know Johannes Kunz home still stands and he is also buried in Diemtigen.  It was fun to look over this little valley and know that my Grandma Evelyn side of the family started here.
