Elder Ballard Visit to Europe

Elder Ballard of the Twelve Apostles came to Frankfurt.  He traveled without his wife because she is ill.  We heard him speak twice.  He counseled us to watch for miracles and to help bring others to Christ.  It was nice to be so up close and personal with an apostle.  These men are so incredibly busy and at their ages it has to be rough.  Elder Ballard is 89 years old.
Young missionaries working in Frankfurt - We love visiting with these young people from all over the world, far away from their families- who serve for two years.

 Waiting for Elder Ballard to speak
 This was a meeting for all church employees and Sr. Missionaries .... waiting to hear Elder Ballard.  In the front right are our good friends, the Rich's, Ruth and Tom from Sandy Utah.  We work with all these people here in the Frankfurt office and the office in Bad Hamburg.

 Elder Whitney Clayton spoke to us also......he was traveling with Elder Ballard.
 Waving good bye to us all and he came right over and shook my hand.  I admire these men so much for their counsel to us, their stamina and their conviction and dedication to the Lord.
