Wettzlar Weekend

Hi everyone. We greet you again from the cross roads of Europe. It continues to be a great experience to work with young Elders and Sisters ( a few older ones too). They are working hard to be effective workers for Jesus Christ. Even those struggling with emotional issues genereally have their heart in their work and are trying hard to fulfill their responsibilities.
It's obvious from the experiences we're having with them that this is a very special group in the eyes of the Lord. He certainly blesses them with inspiration and guidance.

Whether we're on the streets of Frankfurt or in other towns...we see that there is usually a brick color change that denotes a lane for bikers. Kind of like an autobahn for bike riders and some of them speed along as if it were an autobahn. Speaking of autobahns, the roads in Germany are excellent. Some sections of freeway have no speed limits. At times we have been moving along in our little Opel at about 100mph or so only to have cars scream past us doing ??

Mel continues to be fascinated by door knobs, knockers and various other artistic or ancient hardware. Large or small ... there is plenty of it over here.

Bamberg is sometimes called the little Venice of Germany. It even had plenty of pidgeons.
There are many waterways circling throughout the city.

We continue to travel and share expenses with our co-workers the Whiddens. In the above photo we see a possible reason why there are so many"mental health" needs. Something certainly blew this poor fellow's mind.

Most towns have one or more cathedrals, a charming town square and usually a castle. Both Wetzlar and Limburg had all these components .

Small towns like Wetzlar and Limburg (previous photos ) and Bamberg (above) have been easy to visit on a Saturday. We did multiple towns on a Saturday since they are within an hour of Frankfurt.

We'll post again soon so we can share our adventures in France.
