Bremen, Germany

Well, we are here. Mary and I arrived at 9am (2am US time) and were met by Miriam and her baby son, Silas. What an adorable 3month old baby!; she brought us to the home where we will stay while in Bremen-- Nunia, from Figi, and her husband, Ola, from Denmark. What a sweet couple to open their home to us.
After a nice nap, Nunia and a friend, Vivian, took us on a walking tour of the old part of the city. Oh, I could never have imagined what old buildings look like! Some were dated back to the 1400s. I took lots of pictures until my batteries ran out. I plan to go back to that area on tuesday.
Tomorrow, we leave around noon for the retreat in Noiden--on the coast of the North Sea- I will write all about it and take lots of pictures.
Until then, please pray for us--that we have a safe trip and that Mary and I will show these children and their parents God's love for them. It is truly a blessing to see how other Christians live around the world--they are our brothers and sisters in Christ.
By the way--all of my luggage arrived with me!! Praise God!!

  1. Dear Grammy,
    I am so glad that your luggage came with you. If only it will do that when you come back. :)
    Have you tried any food? What is your favorite German food? I just tried pineapple upside down cake for the first time and I loved it.
    Are you going to go to Berlin? Are you going to drive on the Autobahn?
    I love you and I miss you.
    Your Grandaughter,
    Grace
