YOUNG SINGLE ADULT ACTIVITY



On September 30 we enjoyed the YSA Institute Stake Activity at the home of Brother and Sister Roth. The house is full of touches of family antiques and memorabilia.  Wonderful atmosphere!  Great hosts!






The Roth's generously opened their home for this event. Traudi is the stake CES director.  She and her husband are fabulous people.  

They bought this 300 year old farm house and had it remodeled to a new glory. 



I love all the antique touches like the old hats on a rusty metal rack up on the landing of the loft.  Traudi's father and grandfather were hat makers and this diplays tools, old felt hats in various stages of finishing and the old sign to the store. 


John and Elder Mower are enjoying the view.  As well as Sister Smith and Sister Mower.
Traudi is giving an explanation of how far the property runs.


 The Roth's remodeled this house, only to be called as mission president in Bulgaria for three years.  They rented it out till they came back 2 years ago. 


The upstairs to the farmhouse designed by an architect.
 The large picture of the tree of life and the tree of knowledge
 is actually a sliding door to the master bedroom.




This is all the original stonework without mortar of a 300 year old farmhouse.


  The upstairs was completely remodeled and is the home of Traudi and Gerhard Roth of Salzburg.

We expected many more to attend, but the weather was horrendous and discouraged many from driving from long distances.  But those that did come had a great time. 

A VISIT WITH FAMILY!



Happy days... this summer we had a gathering with our oldest daughter Christina and her husband Scott, and their youngest child Clair, and our youngest daughter Brea and her husband Mike.

Lovers bridge in Salzburg If you write your names on a lock and fasten it onto the fence your love will remain forever...they say.
Fortunately, this is a pedestrian bridge over the Salzach River.

Who doesn't want a "forever" love? One pleasure of missionary service is to
explain how Heavenly Father has provided a way.
