Our First Visitors from “Home”!


A special blessing from the Lord over the last few weeks was the visit of some dear friends from our “home church” in Wisconsin.  Kevin and Deb Howard are still faithfully serving as leaders in the church, and their visit to us was a great lift to our spirits.  They were joined by their daughter, Angela and her husband Jake Magyar.  
To give them a taste of European living, we had them stay in our flat downtown, while we stayed with a family from the church for the 10 days they were here.  They got to experience walking to the local bakery in the morning, traveling at over 100mph on the Autobahn, and Schnitzel at Spargelfest!  They attended church at CIF, and participated in our Thursday night LIFE Group.  
Their vacation gave us a chance to take some R&R, too, and we enjoyed visits to Munich, Heidelberg, Frankfurt and Neuschwanstein (the castle Disney copied in his parks), as well as Innsbruck, Austria.  The newlyweds (Angela and Jake) made a quick drive to Paris for a day, too.  They may have needed a “vacation from vacation” when they got home! 

We love visitors!  Let us know if you are coming to Europe!
