The Elders and Sisters loaded our "stuff" into the elevator, out of the elevator and into Miriam's car.
No room to spare
When we arrived in Jena, the Elders and Sisters unloaded our "stuff" out of the car, into the elevator, and out of the elevator on the eighth floor. Then they took us to the highest tower in Jena to see the view.
Our new Sister "Family", Sister Ryser, Tiffany (our JAE Council president) and Sister Bangerter.
The view from the top, including our very own "Thumb Butte"
We all went to Subway for lunch. Elder Graham is one of the Zone Leaders here.
Elder Grooms is the other Zone Leader.
The tower on the right is where we viewed the city and the tall building on the left is where we live. It was the first high rise in Germany built in 1920.
Here is the courtyard where we enter the building. Notice the rails. This is the end of the line for some Strassenbahns.
The entrance to our new home and the mailboxes
The view of the courtyard and the Strassenbahn from our bedroom window The entrance to a shopping mall is on the left. The University has buildings all around us and this courtyard is usually busy with many students.This is a beautiful city and surrounding area as you can tell by the pictures. We have received a warm welcome from missionaries and members. We look forward to serving in Jena.

I had never heard of Jena before, but it looks like a beautiful city!
I love all the pictures! What a beautiful city. I started reading a philosophy book the other night and the introduction mentions Jena and the university there.
I also enjoyed being updated on all the happenings. I'm sure you'll miss Sister Taylor. Loved the picture of her getting a Sister Wells hair-do!
Jena looks amazing! Your companinion looked hilarious, she seemed cool. She is going to sing at your wedding? Did I miss something, haha!
That looks beautiful! It seems like you are loving it and doing such a great job!
Mother wanted me to help her access your blog. What a great story and wonderful pictures! We are not even home yet from the Washington D.C. South Mission yet your enthusiasm and love for the work and the people make me want to go again. Our children and grandchildren are not going to like that....Love to both of you.
I just miss you 2 sooo much.
I hope Elder Rich called you on the day i left and told you something important.
With love, your servant in eternity
