The past couple of weeks have been busy but wonderful! A lot of great things have happened and I would like to share them with you all.
First of all our friend Janine turned 20! We went to her house for coffee, cake and dinner. We had a great time with her. It always amazes me the time that goes by so quickly. Right now Janine is finishing up school and will be taking her final exams soon. She wants to study at the University in Leipzig and I'm finding it hard to grasp that she will not always be in Chemnitz! I will miss her so much! Happy Belated Birthday Janine!
Then we had a visit from our friend Lydia and her boyfriend Brandon. It was the first time we met Brandon and we had a great time getting to know him. Although it was too short, it was great getting to see her again. Just a few days after they came to Chemnitz, Brandon proposed and they are now engaged! Congratulations Lydia and Brandon! We wish you God's blessings for your life together!
Then last Thursday our friend Stefan was baptized into Christ! He and Clint have been studying together for awhile, but he has been friends with and studied with several people from church for a long time and we are all so thrilled that he has made this decision to become a Christian! Welcome to God's family, Stefan!

What wonderful news! Even if I don't know some of those friends it's ALWAYS great to hear good news, especially to welcome a new brother/sister in "the Christ family"! Thanks, April, for sharing!
how wonderful!
Thanks April!
I can't really believe that I am not going to be there all the time anymore either. But I will sure spend as much time in Chemnitz as possible. I will miss you too!
Ya'll being at my house and us spending time together was so much fun and I wish I could have you over more often.... I guess after the exams there will be more time for cook-outs and Kaffeetrinken...
It's so good to hear from Lydia and Brandon. Too bad I didn't get to see them. Was that the weekend that I was sick? I hope they will have a wonderful time together...
And Stefan- that's probably the most exciting news! I am sooo glad that he has decided to live a christian life and believe that God has a great plan in his life as well...
Wow, what a long comment...
Love ya, Janine
