The Sandberg’s got a car this week and we are going to take full advantage of it. Today we drove to Wartberg Castle. This is where Martin Luther translation of the New Testament from Greek into German. It took him ten months, it brought the Bible to the masses and  revolutionized the modern German language. “The Martin Luther Bible was to the German speaking Christians what the King James Bible would be to the English speaking Christians.” He also wrote several hymns one of which was “A Mighty Fortress is our God” this day was very interesting and highly educational. Martin Luther was an instrument in Gods hands.
We concluded the day back at our Stake center watching a performance by Gentry. An LDS group from Utah. This was their first night of a European tour.

We went to Heidelberg today via the train from Frankfurt. We went with Elder and Sister Wenz from Orem, Utah. They work in the mission office, but started out in Military Relations. In Heidelberg we with met up with another couple: Elder and Sister Speyer from Austin, Texas. They are serving there as YSA leaders. Firstly, we first had our first schnitzel and German potato salad. Oh my goodness, that was good. We then walked to the Karl Theodor bridge and then up to see our first of many castles here in Germany. The Heidelberg Castle was built in the 16th century and later bombed by the French in the 17th century. What a hike! It was 300 steps of cobble stones on a slow incline. We decided on the non-stair route going up and the stairs going down. I came to the conclusion stairs in any direction is NOT a good idea. 🤪 However, the hike was worth the amazing view of the city. It was a spectacular day.
