Hello to all our dear family and friends!!
Our week has been not very eventful, but it was still a good week!!! We are all doing well and staying healthy!!
So last Saturday night the team went to Brent's host family's house for a grill party. I will say...I was not to disappointed by the invitation!! I really enjoyed talking in German and laughing with his family! My stomach hurt from laughing!! Brent's host dad told us, "first one I hear speaking in English, has to sing a song". funny thing was, we were allowed to sing in English!! I am very thankful that God put Brent in such a fun family, that he can enjoy.
Eric and Val took their "weekend" away from Sunday to Tuesday. So while they were gone, Monday we had check-ins with each other in the morning and in the afternoon we had relational time. Instead of spending time with people, I had a prayer time with God. While I
was praying I painted pictures. I am painting once again!! It was a really good time for me!
Wednesday, our whole team helped Andi move. Andi was our assistant pastor at Soli Deo, is a close friend to Eric, and a dear friend to the team. It took us a half hour to pack all his stuff in the back of a truck. Andi had made it really easy for us! It was the easiest move out of the seven moves we have helped with.
Today Brent, Shaina and I went along with Lukas to the Zoo, Burg Geibichenstein(the Halle Castle), and on a boat tour. It was so much fun!!! I saw so many animals at the zoo that I wanted to bring back with me!! I just don't think the elephant will fit in my suit case!! I am tired from all the bike riding and walking we did! It was a lot of fun!!!
Now, the best for last!!!!!!!! It is something really exciting and I get a big smile on my face just thinking about it!!!!!!! On May the 13th, during the church service, my dear host mom, Ines, became a Christian!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Can you tell I am really excited about this? I had been praying for that for a long time. Before I even came to Germany I was praying for her!! And now my prayer is answered!!!!

CORRECTION: Eric's spinal cord was not damaged. His back just was not in place, which caused him a bit of pain.
