Dresden Mission: Connect and Reflect
An unofficial oral history project of the Germany Dresden Mission of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. A place to hear the lived experiences of returned missionaries who served in or from the mission from 1989 to 1994, the members of the Church who they served with, converts to the Church during those years, and others with valuable perspective and insights into those historic times.
Dresden Mission: Connect and Reflect
Elder Brian Thueson, December 1989-December 1991 (July 1991-December 1991 in the Germany Berlin Mission)
Welcome to today's episode. Brian Thueson received his call to the Germany Frankfurt Mission in October of 1989, about three weeks before the opening of the Berlin Wall. One week after entering the MTC in December, 1989 he and his entire district had their calls switched to the German Democratic Republic Dresden Mission. He and his MTC district were the first missionaries to enter the GDR as newly trained missionaries from the United States.
