ELLA'S INJURY

We had a little scare with Ella the last night of the conference. She came running in our room with her chin bleeding. After looking at it we decided she needed to go to the hospital. An IMB colleague drove Ella and I to a hospital in a small town about 30 minutes from where we were staying. They were so kind to us. She ended up being glued back together instead of stitches, which was a real blessing for dad! She didn't cry and even counted in Russian for the German doctor and nurse. After we finished up at the hospital and were ready to pay. The doctor just smiled and said take good care of your little girl and don't worry about paying. What a blessing that was as well! Ella wanted everyone to see her injury. A hard floor can do lots of damage!! She has handled it all very well!

2 Days of Vacation

We decided to stay for 2 extra days in Frankfurt. We enjoyed spending some extra time with some good friends and looking around Frankfurt and a smaller town called Rudesheim. The weather ended up not cooperating, but we made the best of it. In the pictures above you will see some of the sights that we enjoyed. Germany is a beautiful place. For all of you Americans who have never traveled outside of the country, you don't know what you are missing! I am so glad that my kids are getting these experiences in different places and spending time with some great people.

Emigrate Conference

Last week we were fortunate to attend a conference in Rehe, Germany with other m's who have been on the field about the same amount of time we have. It was a good week filled with English worship, Bible study, and sessions which contributed to our work and well-being on the field. We appreciate the time and effort that was put into making this happen. It was great seeing some old friends who we have known for some time. It was also great meeting some new friends for the first time. God used this week to refresh us for the coming months!

This is a picture of the place we stayed. From what I heard while I was there, it was a former Nazi training camp.
