Elder Kirkham's Birthday



Fun times - so for Elder Kirkham's birthday we had a meeting with ice cream and then we went to Vespers/Evensong at Berlin Cathedral. It was really pretty and a nice experience...





Here is the dome of the 'Dom' - funny how we do that....I never knew that 'choir' actually refers to the place in the church where the 'choir'/singing people sit....hmm....


















































We walked out and this was the first time I noticed 'the Pope's revenge'. The East German government built this T.V. tower and oddly enough when the sun would hit it just right it would make this 'sunlight cross'. The government tried to 'fix' it by pouring chemicals on it, etc., but nothing worked ;) So the people called it 'the Pope's revenge' ;)

Later that night Elder Kirkham was knighted into the 'Order of the Alaskan Empire' and dubbed 'Earl of Koyukuk' (this entailed getting an 'Alaskan' pin put on to his shirt and my dubbing him with a pair scissors).


Go forth good knight!
