Serving in Germany

Monday and Tuesday several of us undertook a number of major improvements at the hanger, (Roger and Sheila's house). The weather was perfect for working and we accomplished much. Among other things, we tore out some bushes and grass to create a safe and more direct route to their front door, which by the way, seems to be open to anyone anytime who needs a Mom, Dad, Friend, Mentor, etc....We also cleared out a huge area for a future fire pit, which will be one more place to have some wonderful, and warm fellowship when visiting. In addition, two strawberry patches were planted and some bushes moved.
Hard work? Yes! Rewarding? OH yeah! We will sleep well again tonight. Much ibeprofen has been administered, but not one complaint. The stories you share and the friendships you build while working together are more than worth a little soreness! What a wonderful place they have created here for the military personel to hang out and be loved. We are honored to have been able to lend a helping hand around the property, what amazing hosts they have been. They are building a website, www.spanghanger.net if you are interested in learning more about their ministry here in Germany.
We will try to get you an update on the childrens ministry shortly, which is where the other half of the team has been serving. Thank you again for all your prayers, please continue as we have much left to do. Dan seems to be feeling better today, and his ailment has not spread to anyone else. We will be heading to the base one last time tonight for dinner and fellowship and leaving in the morning for Heidelburg for phase two of the trip. We love you and miss you all!
