It’s been one year since we arrived in Germany. Can you believe it? It’s gone by so fast yet we feel like we’ve been living here a lot longer than 1 year. One of the cool things was this morning I got to get up (actually it was too early) and go to the Zurich airport (I got to see the sunrise up over the Swiss Alps). There I picked up some of our GEM missionaries who were coming back after a few months in the States. They flew in on the exact flight we had taken one year earlier. So in a way I felt like the people that had come and pick us up last year.

Another cool thing is next week, the latest member of the eDOT team arrives and we get to help her and her husband get settled in. On our team we have a policy that the last one in helps the next person as you (supposedly) remember more about what its like to be the newbie. Its been fun looking at apartments (and now understanding more of the German) and trying to remember all the things we did when we first showed up (impossible to remember it as you are going through jet-lag, culture shock and just overwhelmed by everything that you have to do in a language and culture that you don’t understand).

So with that being said, would you pray for our new missionaries. They still have some more support to raise in this last week (if you interested in maybe supporting them, check out their website here) and are going through their good-byes. Then they will have their transitions to do. Thanks.
