The Church has purchased a 3 story house [in Friedrichsdorf] that has been a single family home, but will be converted into missionary apartments. Four couples will live on each floor sharing a bathroom and kitchen.
The new home in Friedrichsdorf, Germany
The transfer to Germany would provide many new experiences - including that of shared living quarters, with only a private bedroom. Before the move, Dad made several journal entries expressing his reservations about living communally with comments such as "I just don't see how it can work!" or "We were glad to get the information, but a bit concerned about living with possibly 3 other couples in one house, sharing one kitchen. Hope it has more than one bathroom!"
Kitchen shared by three couples and one single man
Community bathroom
The laundry room was in the basement
The "powder room" was curtained off in the laundry room . . .
not much privacy!
The basement recreation room
The view from their windows was picturesque
Although not ideal, the living arrangements worked out fine. And as it turned out, their room was the best in the house - more about that later.
