President Uchtdorf was in Germany for a Regional Conference for all German Speaking Stakes. Our Mission President, President Pimentel, was able to arrange a Mission Conference for the Berlin Mission. This was a once in a lifetime experience as we literally sat at his feet in the Berlin Stake Center. Here we are waiting for him. When he arrived he wanted to shake each missionary's hand. What a wonderful experience to be in his presence and feel his love.
Because of the recent consolidations of the German Speaking Missions the main theme of the conference was that the members would need be united in building up the kingdom here.
Elder Kopischke, Area President, and his counselor, Elder Teixiera also addressed us. It was noted that the European Area Presidency were all European Leaders. The other counselor, who was not there, is from France.

President Hinckley came to Berlin in '96 on a visit with a newly ordained apostle, Elder Uchtdorf. We had a special missionary meeting Saturday evening with them (the Leipzig missionaries came too). Both spoke, even President's Uchtdorf's wife. Then Sunday was a general meeting with all members at the Funkturm conference center.
Ever since then, I have closely followed President's Uchtdorf's apostleship and can proudly say I was the only one in my ward who could say his name properly when he was called!
Jamar and Christy - I LOVE your blog! You both look so good and so happy! Love you! Jeff and Darcie
