Germany Day 2

Today we made some really good contacts. One which actually let up to meeting up with someone tonight. Three of us met up with a student here to play some pool. We had a great time and we are probably going to see him again. This rocks for several reasons...

First...it gives us a chance to share our faith in Jesus with him.

Second...it allows us to make our friendship stronger.

Third...we made a new friend...etc...etc.

Keep praying for us and for Bjourn...that is his name.

Germany day 1

Flying sucks....actually jet lack is why it sucks. We were up nearly 24 hours and it never felt so good to sleep. Today is our first full day here in Germany and I am really excited. We are going to campus and hopefully we will get a chance to share our faith stories with some people today.

FYI...eroupean keyboards are hard to use because they put letters in different spots!


We have gotten some chances to help out people along the trip so far...mainly in airports...it is amazing how much showing a stranger love impacts them. It is like a totallz foriegn concept to some people. I will blog more about that when my money isn't running out on the computer. Keep praying...we will need it.

Here is what happens when you get sick of a side yard that looks like crap. You call up a couple of friends and you dig a big hole. Then you call another friend who has lots of rocks and go get them. Then you order some crushed limestone. Add some water and shake.... 

And walla...you get a nice little pond :)

Store Wars

Oh my gosh...this is so frickin' hillarious. One of the funniest things I have seen is such a long time. If you like Star Wars, you are going to die laughing.

Please make links on your sites...Please pray for us....and please check the sites as we will try to update them daily...or bi-daily.

Jury Duty

Opened my mail yesterday to find out that I am suppose to serve jury duty for the week of June 20th.....ummm....ya right....I will be in Germany for my mission trip.

I panic...call the number and leave a message. Then I call my good ol' friend HMB and get the advice to call the number (which I had already done). But for some reason she calmed me down a bit. So I tried to relax and just be patient for a return phone call........

After I return from my baseball game....which we won our very last game...yeah!!....I check the messages...

beep!.."This is the clerk at the court office for jurers...we can re-schedule your jury time for whenever you would like...please call back tomarrow."

So today I call and God fixed everything. I am not sure why I even really worried in the first place. God was probably laughing at me as I learn to trust that he is in charge and I am not.
