A few glimpses of Stuttgart

  • City park down town
    Last Sunday we had a chance to go downtown Stuttgart as a family which does not happen very often. We had beautiful weather and were impressed again how pretty the city really is. Two castles are right in the middle of downtown with a large park around it. Here are just a few pictures we thought you might enjoy.

A reason for Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving!

Today, exactly one week since we arrived here in Korntal, we celebrated our first Thanksgiving. As for our own celebration, we had a traditional dinner together with an American couple visiting from CIU and a friend from New Zealand that both Julia and I knew during our CIU days. But Thanksgiving is more than Turkey (yes, and football) and I think it's appropriate to note some of the ways the Lord has blessed us and our family even in the last few days:

1. Love from Lake Cities and Trinity Fellowship in saying goodbye.

2. So many in helping us finish up the last minute details of our move.

3. Being able to sell our car (even on the way to the airport!)

4. A smooth, uneventful flight to Stuttgart.

5. A comfortable apartment that we could move directly into.

6. Provision of furniture, sometimes free or at a reasonable price, and help from friends here to go and get it!

7. A few weeks of downtime before the new schedule starts up.

Thank you Lord, and thank all of you for  your faithful prayers and support. God bless you all.
