Busy Bees

WOW! Life got busy quick for us. On Monday, the pastors starting arriving for the conference, so we've been working hard. That night, Nick and I were invited to join some of pastors and the directors of the school and his wife to go out to dinner. We went to a place called Cafe Del Sol... don't let the name fool you, it wasn't a Mexican restaurant. They actually service more pizza than anything else. While I had pizza, Nick ventured out and tried Germany's favorite dish call "schnitzel" and he loved it! Another first for Nick happened on Monday, he drove in Europe! The cars are all stick shift, so I'm going to have to learn while we're here. Please pray for me that I don't crash into anything!! We had a great day on Monday followed by such a fun night. One of the pastors sitting next to us is from Ireland; he was hilarious, but also genuine. It was a blessing to see up front pastors who have a joy for the Lord and sincerety in who in they are. Yesterday was a VERY busy day. Nick helped serve the pastors by bringing the lugagge to the rooms and helping out in the kitchen doing dished, and I got to learn how to do the coffee bar and chop veggies. Unfortunately I chopped a small piece of my knuckle, but all is well. Last night, some of the girls that are on staff here and I got together and had a girl's night; we had so much fun. Then, shortly after I got home, the pastor that is staying in our apartment arrived and we ended up talking with him until after midnight; we were so encouraged by him! Nick and I are so blessed to be here. :-)

It sounds like you're having such a wonderful time! We miss you like crazy, but after reading that post I realize how good this will be for you and Nick, and how much good you're doing for others! How much do you miss Panera though? You're both in my prayers!

Jessie!!!! I just got your voicemail. Sorry I didn't pick up, the number was 012-3456 so I thought it was a telemarketer or something :P
Next time I promise I'll answer! Miss you both lots and lots!!!
