Faith in Germany

Thanks to all who have helped Faith financially to get to Germany. Bill and I went to Germany with Faith Sept 25th and got her all settled into school. We also met up with niece Rebekah Cammack. Both Girls are adjusting well to school and life in Germany and we are trying to adjust with no kids at home. Here are some pics.

The Boy's

Got some updated pictures of the boys, curtsy of Melissa, the cute one with Joel. Thanks.

They enjoyed themselves at the Kelley reunion, Miss you guy's . Hard to believe that Joel is a Junior and Mark is a Sophomore.

Entertaining Friends

This weekend we helped entertain some friends, while Mom and Dad where busy working. It's great having a porch big enough to do things on.

Special trips

Faith got to go on a special trip with a special Friend to Paris. What's in Paris? see if you can guess.

Summer adventures

Even though it is hot in our town, we do try for some adventure. Here are some fun times with cousins Forrest



and William



I do believe they all had a good time.












The music fest was also happen'n this so friend Bobby got an opportunity to play the drums in a big open tent.

Summer update

We have had a full summer, in June we had a group of George Fox students and friends join us for 2 1/2 weeks of adventure. They stayed at our home and traveled to different places.




They left and we moved to a new apartment less than 4 min. from our old one. It is on a main street, which can be noisy, but is usually quiet after 11 (except on hot summer days) We have 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, 2 living rooms one with a fireplace, a big kitchen (unusual for NA) and a nice sized porch that we have a table and chairs on. God blessed us with more than what we wanted.

A week after we moved, Betty's folks and nephew arrived. None of the trips we planned worked out, but we still had lots of fun, We visited friends in the old city, Mom and Dad and William toured the old city with us, Faith was our fearless leader (they found a good deal on leather jackets).

On the Move

It's been one of those months. Communicating in a language that is sometimes difficult to understand. At the beginning of last month when Bill went to go pay the rent, the bank teller said something to him that ended with "I have an apartment we'd like you to see". Now why would the bank want us to see an apartment. We tried to make arrangement several times, but never connected with the guy at the right time.

Well I took on a new English student and wouldn't you know her Aunt works in that Bank. The New student also speaks pretty decent English, so when the Teller saw her with me, he came out of the bank and talked to her in Arabic. So this is the story " our apartment is being sold and the bank needs us to move the sooner the better". Now we understand why the bank wanted us to look at another apartment.

We are currently looking for a new place to live. Smaller and cheaper than what we have but yet big enough to still enjoy hosting those coming through our town. We don't have a place yet but we are packing up the house, got most of the books packed. We are trusting the Lord in finding us the right place, we did find one place we like, but are waiting for an answer from the landlord.

Pray with us that we can get moved before it gets to hot and that our funds will hold out for the move. We are looking this as a challenge to begin anew in a new location, a chance to meet new people and make new contacts.

Take care, come see us soon.
