We are staying in a "vacation house" in Weisenhohe, a tiny little dorf out in the country. Today everything is covered with a blanket of fresh snow. The village is quiet, hilly, wooded and beautiful. Our house here is quaint, homey, and comfortable. All decorated in old world classic German art and furniture. We are thankful for our little home, but searching for an apartment to really call home. We've looked at seven so far, and there are great possibilities. We are praying for God to get us into the place he wants us to live in.
For the first entire week here, the kids and I were very ill with flu and sinus infections. That was pretty rough - no, it was terrible. But God gave grace to get through those days without despairing! None of us could even go to church the first Sunday here. But that is behind us now, and (I hope) we have a little more James 1 steadfastness for it.
German is coming, little by little; and wow, do I have a lot more to learn! Everyday we feel a little less foreign and a little more normal here. Many things are different, but many things are surprisingly the same. We've been figuring out where to buy what and what to say when, and making a lot of new friends in the process.
I will get pictures up soon. I promise. We only have internet now and then, so I need to be quick. There is so much I could write about, but I'll have to save it for later...
For He will give His angels charge concerning you,
To guard you in all your ways.
They will bear you up in their hands,
That you do not strike your foot against a stone.
Ps. 91:11-12

So glad that you are getting acclimated!! Heard about your bout with sickness from Daniel's mom--we've been praying for you. Miss you but am glad you are getting settled in for your ministry there.
What an encouraging post. God is so so good!
So good to hear what the Lord has been doing for and in you! We'll continue to pray for just the right apartment and continued good adjustment and settling in!

I've thought much of you and have prayed for you! I'm so sorry you were sick--God is always working, always teaching, isn't He? :) Looking forward to hearing about the wonderful apartment God gives you! Holding you up.
Good to hear your news from this side of the ocean! Looking forward to bumping into you someday in our travels. Trusting the Lord will continue to provide all you need. Bon courage!
