Start the six months off!

Halo!
Thankfully we made it to our host family's home safe and sound with all of our things! Praise God!

On our first day we set up the boy's trampoline which we thought was going to be quite easy and could be done fast. We were sadly mistaken. Setting up the frame and attaching the springs to the actual tarp took effort but we were successful. After those steps we started to become resentful to the fact that there was still a safety net...however after our persistent hard work and some bending of metal we finished! Thankfully we did not have the Texas heat to slow us down to a snails pace. The boys have been using it everyday as much as they can which boosts our self esteem to see that our construction skills were not in vain.

After researching "Churches in Stuttgart"on Google and asking around to trusted friends we visited the "International Baptist Church in Stuttgart" (IBC). The Lord is so good, He provided exactly what we need to grow in Him and hopefully in relationships that we establish there. We are praying that He will provide a way to become further involved in the High School group or young adult group so that we can put good use to our time and energy by serving Him.

We fully unpacked and are no longer living out of our suitcases which really brings to reality the fact that we will be in this house and in Germany for 6 months!! We were just saying to each other last night around dinner that never in a million years would we have thought God would put us in Germany for 6 months looking after 3 hooligan boys(;

Please continue to pray for our learning so many new things at once. Also for us to learn the boys personalities and to be patient with them at all times. Thanks so much for thinking of us! Stay tuned for more news of adventures soon to come :]


Off to find adventure-xoxo
