Friday evening we took a Mexican dinner over to one of the ward families Dave made enough for the whole branch so we had plenty of leftovers. As we were leaving they said they were going to the temple the next day and invited us to go with them. As we made plans for them to pick us up, the wife laughed and said we can't take you in our car because we are taking the children. So we made plans to meet them there. We had a very nice session and left about 12 noon for a leisurely drive home having decided to not take the Autobahn but back roads instead so we could visit a castle in the town of Wolkenstein. This is the same one we went to with Aaron and Melissa. We stopped in a tiny town outside of Freiberg to get lunch and as we walked in, a couple at a table greeted us. The Schiebolds live in Freiberg and we knew them when we were here before. He now works for the church but has been all over the world installing stained glass windows. That was a real treat to see them again. This time we are in different Stakes so we don't see them at conferences.
When we stopped at Wolkenstein they were having a reenactment of a trial for two drunk robbers. It was fun to see the costuming. We also went into the little museum there again.
You can see the photographer there also. I wonder if it was for a movie. Here is my movie but you can see I am no photographer. Note the escape at the end!
Here are a few more scenes for fun. After the performance we saw a wedding photographer with a couple in wedding dress using the castle as well. I guess if you have a castle it is a good idea to use it!
Here is some bobbin lace and a Zither from the museum. I thought the girls would like to see this.
Today, Sunday, we had a visit from our friends from Chemnitz, the Goerkeritz family.
We are really enjoying our time here, especially when we have something to do with the members and our friends.
