Back to Bode...

And I am back to Bode and routine! The coast was great, we basically just watched TV, ate food, and relaxed. It was relaxing, but knowing that I still had to pack and get to Germany didn't make it truly relaxing. And then we finally left Friday night on a night train from Rome. Left at 7 pm and arrived in Germany at 6:30 am the next day. We got the cheapest seats, which means I got no sleep. And then after taking three more trains to finally got to Fishbach Friedrichshafen at around 10 am. It was a long traveling night, and there is nothing better then coming home to a bed and a 10 room. Ha ha, so I am in a 10 room; 9 roommates! I was so happy, since I am such a social person, what could be better?

So I got back, and it was a huge family reunion. I was so happy to get back, and to unpack and make my space all pretty. And thank you for all the packages and letters! It was like a mini Christmas morning on Saturday, it was wonderful. And then after seeing all my friends, I just couldn't help but be so happy and feel so blessed. God has been nothing but good. Protecting us all and bringing all of us home safely. He is so good and He deserves all the praise and glory.

And now we have a guest speaker this week, Juergen Schwarz, and he is talking about Matthew. He is talking about the history and talking about the relation between Matthew and the rest of the bible. He knows Hebrew, Greek, German, and English. He actually has a Hebrew bible up front and just translates it on the spot for us. So he is really smart and is teaching us lots.

And live is going back to normal, which I am loving. I have lunch dishes this month for my duty, and I am just so joyful. Life is wonderful, and God is wonderful.

Thank You for all your prayers and support, we felt it!
Happy New Year!
