Something about spring flowers makes me smile even on cloudy days!

Hello spring!!

The flowers below are the first signs of spring for us. This new life makes me thankful for the most recent things. During the past two weeks two special events have taken place. Kindertag which is an outreach to German children who want to attend something structured rather than the usual 'Fasching'(winter carnival). Around 180 kids attended this all day event...several made first time decisions and lots asked thought provoking questions. The second event took place last weekend when the high school students along with many staff journeyed down to Switzerland for a weekend retreat. We have heard good reports about lives that were touched and changed during this weekend as a former student shared with them some of his journey through life. (He and his family are missionaries in Italy). We are thankful for new life in Christ as well as the promise of spring!

These kids grow up way too fast!!
