While waiting for his mission call, Jeff Packer watched on TV from the basement of Deseret Towers as the Berlin Wall opened on the night of November 9, 1989, and hoped for the chance to go to the East. 2 days later he received a call to Zurich Switzerland. While in the MTC he and his MTC district were reassigned to the GDR Dresden Mission. More great surprises awaited him in the GDR.
