Church Teen Meets President of Germany - Elaine Patapof - October-November 1981

Elaine Patapof

In May I had the most interesting opportunity of my life, and it came almost two years after I prayed for it to happen. About two years ago, while I was a freshman at Ambassador College, I had the chance to go to West Germany for the Feast of Tabernacles and to spend a whole month there. I had studied German in high school for three years and, finally, my big opportunity to actually practice speaking the language was here. A German friend who had gone to school with me in the United States told me I could stay with her if I ever came over to Germany, so, before the Feast, I went to visit her in Meckenheim-Merl, a beautiful little city southwest of Bonn, the West German capital. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
