Requiem Aeternam

Received May 21, 2012 Thank you for your condolences at the passing away of a very important person in my life, namely the Great Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau. I will be honoring his memory this week in whatever way I can without annoying my companion to much (secret is, he actually likes DFD). Let us all honor him by looking up something that he sang on Youtube. My suggestions would be Es blinkt der Tau or (my personal favorite) the recording of him singing Ich bin der Welt abhanden gekommen with Karl Böhm at the baton. Two truly fantastic recordings of the master. Now he's singing on the other side with Schubert and Brahms at the piano, lovely! Well this week was great here in Waiblingen. We have been getting the area going a little bit because the people have been showing up again. We got to give a church tour to Frau Lang who loved it and was really interested. She said that she will really have to come to church so she can see how it is on Sunday. We got to have a lesson with Heinz with a joint teach. Bru. Kiefer came with us and Heinz really made a lot of progress because he is starting to understand a lot better (thanks to Bru. Kiefer and his German). We also got Anna Savi to finally come to church again and she is already good friends with Schws. Müller and Arning. We also had a Ward Picnic where she was able to interact with the Ward. It was awesome! This week we have Zone Conference and another finding day. It will be a great week. I hope that everyone has a great week. Tschüüüüüüüüüß!
