A Week in Spring

The best part of the Spring season is not the allergies (achoooo!) but the bright yellow raps fields just like at home.  We have enjoyed seeing these.  They are now using raps oil for biofuel here.  Spring has also brought a seasonal cold so we have been a little down this week but we did go to Chemnitz for a Zone Conference and an interview with the mission president.

This is our district when the two in the middle first came here.  We now have a new DL,   Elder Lichner, a German from Stuttgart.

A part of the zone at conference in Chemnitz.  The two sisters are both new and serving in Chemnitz.  Sister Kosak is barely visible in the back.  Pres Kosak said we have about 270 missionaries in our mission with more coming.

We did visit some interesting places this week while trying to make contact with some inactive members.  One is the Fabar-Castelle plant in Geroldsgrun.  We bought some pencils and found a mushroom house.

Last weekend our Primary had their bike ride.  We met them at the park for lunch and brought the drinks.  I finally got a picture of the climbing part of the park.  There are zip lines across a part of the lake too and one near the kinderpark where we ate which Elder Anderson could not resist.

He is climbing out to retrieve the pulley (barely visible on the left) thinking he could hang on to it and ride...didn't work.

We also visited Zwickau city center and another museum castle in Oelsnitz which was disappointing because they only had rocks...it was a mineral museum in an old castle rather than a castle museum.
