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 Doug Neal, November 1990 - December 1992
Doug Neal grew up in a Catholic family that joined the church when he was 5 years old. His parents divorced when he was 13. He went out on his own at age 16, drifted away from the Church and established a successful career in the computer industry by his early twenties. After renewed conversion and a period of spiritual struggle, he acted on the prompting to serve a mission.
You can see photos Doug has shared from his mission here:
