SUNDAY LUNCH WITH "THE BOYS"

We invited 4 of the young men from our German (FeG) Church for Sunday Aussie Roast yesterday. Johnny also came and joined in the fun. I had to get home after Church and put the chicken in the oven and cook all the lovely roast vegies - potato, pumpkin (at great expense found in Migro in Basel but actually from France !!), sweet potato, cauli cheese, parsnip, carrot and beans. Then I made a Butterscotch self saucing pudding with ice cream which was - YUM YUM and thoroughly enjoyed by everyone. Joshua had to race off early which was a shame, but we did have a great time together. Once again it made me realise how much I miss our kids and Sunday roast together. So we are going to try and do this every 6 weeks if possible. Here are a few photo's for you to enjoy.

EMAIL.......CONCERT........BOYD

It's amazing what can happen in 24 hours!

Yesterday morning we went to our German (FeG) Church in Loerrach. We came home, had lunch and relaxed a bit and then at around 3.00pm we opened our emails to discover an email from a Boyd Owens. I said to Rog it was probably trash, but no, it wasn't.

Boyd is a singer with the Australian group "The Ten Tenors" and they are currently touring Germany, South Africa and then the U.S.A. http://thetentenors.com/

Boyd sent us an email saying he was a Christian, had come across our Mosaic website and wondered if we were meeting Sunday 1 March. We rang his mobile number and Roger spoke to him about meeting up. He then mentioned he was with "The Ten Tenors" and would we like to go to the Concert in Loerrach. He arranged for us to pick up the tickets (which of course were free - but otherwise quite expensive!).

We had the most fabulous time and thoroughly enjoyed being entertained by "The Ten Tenors". If you ever get a chance to hear them, then grab it as they really are amazing entertainers. It was pure entertainment from the moment the concert started until it finished 2.5 hours later (with a short break).

We met up with Boyd afterwards, introduced ourselves and arranged to have lunch together today in Loerrach. What an amazing and talented young man is Boyd. He only joined the group in January and this is his first tour with them. They will be touring until June and then will return to Australia for a few Concerts before they have a break.

We ask ourselves "Why has God brought Boyd into our lives at this time?". It is such an exciting thing! He needs our prayers in what he is doing and he said he would pray for us and our ministry here. Boyd is a PK (!!) and so we will look forward to meeting him and his parents when we come back to Australia in August.

Here is Boyd Owens web address if you want to check him out.

Sorry no pictures, we didn't even get a photo of us together. That was a bit silly!!
