Show Lee Manwill ul 11 2 01 be secretary of the European mission." So I was his secretary for seven n1 nths and wrote all his letters. And when he called a conference of the mission presidents in Copenhagen, Denmark I got to go over there to take the minutes of the meetings. It was a very nice job. Anyway, while I was there we took a few pictures. They were just black and white, but one of them was color. Somebody had loaned me a Leica camera, and there was no such thing as color print film, but you could get slide films. And there was a picture taken of me. Somebody took the picture. I was on one end of the group of mission presidents, as a young missionary, and then there was all these mission presidents and their wives. And on the other end was President Ursenbach who was presiding over the Belgium mission. And I had written many letters to him for President Lyman, and I got acquainted somewhat with some of these people by writing letters for President Richard R. Lyman. Anyway, in recent years-and this is just a sidelight-so this will take me up to about two years ago in 1999 I think it was, or '98. My wife and I have been ordinance workers in the Salt Lake Temple for the last seven years dressed in white suits, you know, not just the white clothes, but white suits and everything, white ties and everything. And a fellow by the name of Wayne Ursenbach was the second counselor to the temple president. And I had an enlargement made of this one picture with me on one end, and Octave Ursenbach and his wife were on the end of the same picture. I had an enlargement made, and I took it to the temple one day and showed it to President 16 |
