General Conference

On Saturday, April 6, I went with our branches' Young Women to Plauen to see the Young Women's conference.  There were 5 of us from Hof and 5 from Plauen in attendance.  Sebastion Dierzon, the branch president and one of our former JAE from Chemnitz, had prepared a MP3 player with conference so I could hear it in English.  Later that evening Dave and I watched the Saturday morning session on the computer at our apartment.  In Utah it began at 10 a.m. but here it was 6 in the evening.

The next day Elder Montgomery and several men from the branch went to Zwickau to see the Priesthood session.  I came later with several women to meet them for the Saturday evening session which was presented about 3 then we all drove home.  Again we watched the Sunday morning session here at the apartment but this time Sister Ernst was here watching it in English with us although she speaks little English.  she said she understood about 1/2 of it.  Then on Monday for home evening we and the Elders, and Sister Ernst watched the Sunday Evening session on the computer in German but with English subtitles.

 Last month we drove to Dresden for a multi Zone conference with President Kosak and this week we went to Chemnitz for a zone conference.  The picture is our zone taken at the Dresden meeting with President and Sister Kosak seated next to us.

Then this is what we did on preparation day. On Mondays most tourist things in Germany are closed.  This is Burgk and it has a museum so we will have to go back.
