Karl Eugen Robert Scharrier and Anna Frieda Meffert: church records

Karl and Anna Scharrier were my great-great grandparents on my dad's side. These are most likely records that their church branch in Germany gave to them when they moved to the United States after World War II to give to their new ward/branch when they arrived. I already knew all the dates but something really cool on them are actual addresses of where they came from and where they were going to. I am pretty sure the addresses are for the mission homes of each perspective place.
