Winding Down

The session is winding down for the students. Many of them had to read over 1,000 pages of material prior to coming, write papers, spend time in classroom instruction from 9am-6pm, some have presentations today and they all have their final exams Thursday. Then, the students will leave...so sad. We will miss them all.

We met one student from Poland who said he was so sad because starting Friday he'd have to go back to his normal food. However, he said if he ate like this everyday he would have a different problem. He currently has his own renovation business and plans to use that as a ministry to provide people work. In the past, he worked with teenagers through college age which he has now passed on to another.

Last night we had a campfire once all the clean-up was done. A few students came and an honored guest. There is a neighbor, Wilford, he has been Sunny & Robert's German teacher and friend for a long time. I think he's in his '80s. His wife is very ill, she's dying of cancer. He is not a believer but he came to our campfire last night. He's a very sweet and funny man. He's very sad because he lost his first wife to cancer about this same time of year and now his second wife who is only in her '60s now has cancer too. Some of the maintenance crew washed his car yesterday and some of Wilford's neighbors help do his laundry. He had also ate dinner with us last night too. Michelle got the privilege of hosting his table.

Auf Wiedersehen (Vee-der say-en) Good-bye
