Wir sind zurück in Berlin!


Sorry for the lack of posts! We know that many of you check our blog frequently, but while we were in the States we didn't do much blog updating. We are both now back in Berlin, and happily settling into a new home. There was no greater culture shock after being in America for a couple of months then getting off the airplane in Germany and taking a bus, two trains, walking up and down many flights of stairs only to come home to 6 flights of stairs ahead of you. Not to mention the summer temperatures and lack of air conditioning! But all that seemed worth it once we walked into our front door and realized for the first time in a long time, that we were HOME. We have been really enjoying settling into our new apartment. The smallest thing, like having a cup of coffee together in the morning in our kitchen, feels like such a big deal!

Thank you all for your prayers for our new home! We are completely overwhelmed by God's answer to prayer in this specific area of our lives. We're really looking forward to this new year in Berlin. God is faithful to us.

The sun sets right in front of our bedroom window each night.
We've been noticing the sun sets much later in Europe then in America.
Last night it was still setting at 10:45!
