Although our weather is still cold and rainy, summer is supposedly just around the corner! We will be sad to see the school year ending and saying goodbye to so many wonderful friends, including graduating seniors and some very close families who are moving on. However, summer plans are coming together and we look forward to it!
On the 'work front': Each summer Black Forest Academy works with Cairn University (formerly PBU) to host classes here in Germany. These classes are primarily aimed towards teachers, school administrators, or other missionaries working overseas and wanting to further their education, such as pursing a masters degree. Classes are held in Germany to provide a more convenient location for those living and working in Europe. Clarence and I are working as the "Assistant Directors" for this summer program with Cairn University. We will help provide housing, transportation, and other practical needs for those coming to BFA to take classes.
On the 'ministry front': Clarence and I will be attending TeachBeyond Institute, which is held here in Kandern, the first week of August. It is also called, Orientation Part 2. We will be learning more practical advice about how to thrive long-term on the mission field and be effective in our ministry.
On the 'home front': The most exciting thing, of course, is that we're moving! We will still be living in Kandern, just moving about 1km down the street to a nicer apartment, which is also closer to the high school. Hopefully this new apartment will also be a better fit for Silas with his dust mite allergies. So, starting on July 1st we will have a new address:
Hammersteinerstrasse 18
79400 Kandern, Germany
We also will be celebrating Austin's 6th birthday this summer. It's amazing to see how God has molded and shaped our little boy. Clarence's parents are coming to visit for a few weeks in August and we're excited to do some local sight-seeing with them. The boys are especially excited to see 'Mah-mah' and 'Yea-yea'!
