July 18th - Berlin, Germany


July 18th – We are now in Berlin, Germany. Since it is Sunday, we went to church in a small, quant, LDS chapel which had a very interesting history to it. It was built in 1950 by a wealthy man and then given to the church. It has three floors to it and years later they were told it did not meet the handicap requirement to be a church and that they would need to tear it down. The members did not want that so they earned enough money to put an elevator inside and built a handicap ramp on the outside. The members are very proud of their chapel.

They gave us ear phones to wear so we could understand the speakers. There were about 50 people in attendance and all were very friendly and most could speak very good English. We enjoyed visiting with the members after church.

That is wonderful that they translated the meeting for you!

That would be really different if you went to a church with a different language.
