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.
