Zollikofen was John’s last mission area in 1975. We spent about an hour here on the temple grounds as more memories flooded back for him. He spent a week here living in the patron housing at the end of his mission, attending the temple daily.
The Bern Switzerland Temple (formerly the Swiss Temple) was the church’s first temple built in Europe, and the first built outside of North America. It was dedicated in 1955.
There’s a beautiful forest behind the temple. The land there was donated by the grandfather of our good friend, Mark Angelos. The grounds and the surroundings are peaceful and beautiful.
Because of this temple, great blessings have flowed out on this land and the people here. What an incredible blessing!
