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 Jan-Peter Mueller, March 1990-March 1992
Today we hear about Jan-Peter (JP) Mueller's missionary service in the Dresden Mission. A native of West Germany, he grew up near Frankfurt in a convert family, the second son of a German father and French mother. While waiting for his mission call in November 1989, the Berlin Wall opened. A few short months later, he had the unique experience of serving just a few hundred miles from where he grew up, in a land he thought would always be behind the Iron Curtain.
