Our Weekend in Munich...Day 4

The adventure of our last day in Munich would be to find the chapel where we wanted to attend church services before returning to Warsaw.

Here we are riding on the SBahn train ("S" stands for suburban)...the trains were not crowded on Sunday morning.  The trains were also very clean, comfortable and quite easy to figure out.

We disembarked from the Metro, and then our real adventure began.  We were in a suburban area of the southern part of Munich...trying to follow the directions we had seen on internet to the chapel we wanted to find.

We eventually found the correct street.  The address on the first building was #1...and the church address was #85.  So we had a good walk ahead of us!

After about 20 minutes of brisk walking, we were thrilled to find the chapel...and in time for church to begin at 9:30 a.m.  However, upon entering we found out that services this day were a regional conference that didn't start until 10 a.m.

We still stayed, and enjoyed being in Germany for this Sunday service...but were only able to stay for an hour because our flight was in the early afternoon.

We had a surprise while waiting for the church service to begin.  While sitting in the room where the English speakers were to meet, we visited with a senior missionary couple from the Utah.

What a surprise for us to find out that she knew our daughter Melissa, because she was a Nursing professor at BYU when Melissa was in the program there.  She led the two-month Nursing trip to Argentina that Melissa went on a few years ago. 

We often say that no matter where we go with Melissa, she always finds someone she knows, or at least a connection to someone she knows. This time...we were the ones finding someone who knew our Melissa!

Leaving the Munich Chapel and heading back to the Metro train station.

We had not had a proper breakfast, and Mark happily discovered a bakery near the Metro stop.  We were able to get something to tie us over until we got back to the hotel and then to the airport.

Since we knew where we were going now, our return walk to the train station was much quicker than the walk to the chapel earlier in the morning.

We checked out of the hotel, took the SBahn train back to the airport, and took the short flight home to Warsaw.

Though we had a great weekend, it was good to know we were soon home again.

As we rode in a taxi back to our home, we noticed all of the green grass!

Prior to leaving for Germany on Thursday...our little snow lady was starting to melt, but we still had plenty of snow in our back yard...

...and upon our return home on Sunday, this is what we saw in our back yard where the snow lady had been.  We think spring is just around the corner!
