Brent was able to locate the exact apartment building in Mannheim, Germany where his grandfather, Arias G. Belnap, was living as a Mormon missionary in 1914 when World War I broke out. Brent was deeply moved as he pulled up on his computer images of missionary photos of his grandfather and a letter written in Mannheim over several days as the war broke out. Amazingly, although the city of Mannheim was heavily destroyed during the Second World War, his grandfather's pre-WWI apartment building remains intact.
