Seeing where our Temple workers and patrons live.

It's Stake Conference time again and that means we get to go see where our Temple workers and patrons live.  Usually we are asked to speak at either the Saturday evening session or the Sunday morning session depending on when they need us.  We also receive invitations to speak in their Sacrament meetings on occasion.  This takes us from one end of the country to the other.

We really enjoy seeing everyone and spending time with them closer to their homes and they enjoy introducing us to their family members who sometimes are too young to come to the temple or who can't come for some reason or another.  September has been an interesting month for us.  Our ward here in Zoetermeer might think we have gone inactive because we have been gone every Sunday so far and this coming Sunday we will be in Rotterdam North for the Stake Conference.  We enjoy seeing the old churches and city government buildings (stadthaus) that each village has.  Here are a few we saw in our travels.

 

In the Sint Maartenkerk in Zaltbommel we saw grave stones that covered the entire floor of the church.  It was interesting to see some that had the family Crests and read the information about them and their families.
