The week that was

Well, we survived the week, and why shouldn't we!! We do enjoy beginning the week with our hike. It seems to blow away the cobweb's and gives us a good start! So, up early and on the train by 8.15am.

Roger has been very busy and much coming and going. There was a large model railway exhibition on a the Christian German School in Stetten and Roger was able to help with some of the detailed work for this. And what a great outreach this was to the community. Seeing people relaxed and wanting to talk did both our hearts good. Of course Roger spent a lot more time there than I did, but good contacts were made, not least of all with a couple who have just moved to Schopfheim and are teachers at the school. We hope to catch up soon.

The Mosaic Team meeting that Derek Webster chaired was a constructive evening and we will in time see the outcome of this.

We have made Deutsch learning a high priority this year, so any free time is spent listening, writing, reading, speaking. We are both very positive about this, but Roger is way ahead of me. I'm not too worried. All of our work is in English but it is still in our interest to persevere. One of the young people at Church laughs at our 'Dinglish', as she calls it!

So, thanks for your prayers. If you're reading this we'd love some feedback ! ! !
