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 Dale Moss, Part I: June 1988-May 1989 (Germany Munich Mission); May 1989-June 1990 (GDR Dresden Mission)
Dale has many great stories, in fact he has more than we could fit into one session. So check back in a few weeks for part II of Dale's interview.
After one year of studies and football at BYU, Dale Moss was called to the Germany Munich Mission. After 5 months of service there, and feeling a little like something was missing from his service, he was notified of a pending transfer to the new GDR mission. After over 3 months of waiting and wondering, he was transferred into the mission in May of 1989 to become one of the first two Western missionaries to return to Annaberg-Buchholz after 50 years.
