Matt Jensen grew up hoping to serve a mission to Germany, the same as his father and grandfather had. Initially called to serve in the Germany Hamburg Mission, he details what it was like in the Hamburg mission, including crossing over the inner German border on the train to and from West Berlin for transfers and zone conferences. He also shares details of what it was like to be transferred into the German Democratic Rebuplic Dresden Mission during the summer of 1989 and the many experiences of his year of missionary service in the Dresden Mission.
