We took a 5 day trip to the Frankfurt, Germany temple with a group of Albanian Saints the week of September 28th. The above picture is taken out the window of the Albanian Airways flight home on October 3, 2009. We're flying over the Alps, but the clouds and mountains reminded me of large waves.
Mom on the narrow streets of Friedrichsdorf, Germany. This is the small village about a 30 minute train ride outside of Frankfurt where the temple is located.
While we were at the temple for 4 days, there was the threat of rain but nothing materialized to dampen our spirits.
The Albanian group we took to the temple. This picture is taken at the Mother Theresa International Airport of Tirana, Albania.
Just before we left for Frankfurt there was a great baptism of a family of 5 here in Tirana. The family Rama was looking for answers about life. Mr. Rama called his brother in Greece who stated that he and his family had just joined the Mormon Church and it had the answers. He advised Mr. Rama to get a hold of the church. So the next Sunday the entire Rama family went walking in Tirana to find the Church. Just by meeting people on the street they were given directions and came to our building. They had walked for nearly an hour. In fact there is a Church building much closer to their home, but they did not know it. They know it now and are members of the Tirana 1st Branch.
