Winter has finally come to Hof. We were told this is one of the coldest parts of Germany but this winter has been so mild we have ceased to believe. Now we know.
We have had the opportunity in January to go to Freiberg for another couples conference, this time at the temple. We enjoyed two full days of temple sessions and had meetings with the temple president and our mission president. We also very nuch enjoyed socializing with other couples who are often facing the same challenges we are.
Temple president Husz and his wife are from Austria and have served willingly for many years in various capacities. He spoke about the newly produced endowment presentation which we were privileged to view.
The temple at night often gives some rather interesting photographing opportunities. I took none of the above. Someplace in my files I have another Angel Moroni shadow in the sky which is clearer but I don't have one of the mystic rays taken by another Elder.
We also enjoyed a lovely dinner out at a neat restaurant in Freiberg. It is on a little pond which probably at one time was part of a moat around the walled city (that's speculation) but the windows behind are from the renovated castle which is now a mineral museum. Freiberg was THE silver mining region from about the 900's on. We enjoyed this meal during our strict 'New Year's resolution' diet and survived. We are happy to report we both have lost about 15 pounds and are still watching it.
